When we arrived, the bartender seemed more interested in explaining the concept of "natural" wine to another group than acknowledging our party, and the service felt a bit curt throughout our visit. We sampled five different wines, from rosé to orange wine, but every one of them just had a noticeably sour flavor. Maybe that's part of the natural wine style, but considering the cost of the tasting, the experience overall was very disappointing.

I'm a huge fan of California wines, but not huge Napa/Sonoma prices. Swallow takes the guessing work out of finding great wines at great prices. We had the honor of Gabe pouring for us on a calm Saturday early afternoon. He asked our taste preference and began pouring zippy sparkinlings, skin-touched roses and deliciously balanced reds! I'm actually going to Paso Robles on vacation soon and Gabe gave me great reccomendations and a sample pour of a Paso wine he loved (I will now be visiting that vinyard)!! This was my first trip out to Round Rock. A sleepy but adorable suburb of Austin (30min no-traffic from downtown) and Swallow adds to that charm with a relaxed living room energy (think Mad Men vibe if Don Draper drank wine instead of martinis and adultery)! Some locals elbowed up to the bar and we made fast friends (it's easy to bond over wine)! I hadn't planned on buying anything but walked out with 3 bottles!! One of the patrons next to us walked out as a wine-club member!! No up-sale needed. The space and service do all the work! With wine clubs, parties and meet-the-wine maker events, there's always a reason to stop back. This place is now on my Austin rotation every time I'm in town!!!

Very Disappointing Experience…read more I was really looking forward to The Golden Girls pop-up at Wanderlust Wine Company. Unfortunately, the experience was nothing like what I had seen from the pop-ups in other cities. The biggest disappointment was how little there actually was to the experience. The kitchen table wasn't even there. The girls famously gathered around that table eating cheesecake. Blanche's bedroom was completely outside in a completely different building, which made the whole setup feel disconnected. Even the wall phone, which was supposed to have the girls talking did not provide the experience I had seen from Instagram reels from other cities. Then came the cocktails. At $16 each, I expected them to at least be made correctly. My Blanche Devereaux cocktail was made with club soda instead of Sprite. Club soda tastes like Alka-Seltzer. I had to ask for a different drink. The second cocktail, The Dorothy, was made with Prosecco and unfortunately wasn't good either. Even the one lady sitting at this isolated bar with me said her drink was bad too. They double charged me. Which is another major issue. My ticket was $23.34 including taxes and fees and the complimentary drink was supposed to be included, with only a one-cent charge when I arrived. Instead, I was charged an additional $23.08, including $11.54 for the drink that was supposed to be included in the ticket price. Is there an explanation? Will this be corrected? My credit card company has already been notified. But what a hassle I have to go through. Just scan my QR code, and don't charge me .01 cent. I paid my ticket and "free" drink. Also as a solo guest, I was also extremely uncomfortable with where I was seated. I was placed away from everyone else at a very narrow bar along the wall, completely isolated from the rest of the group. Honestly, it felt like being sent to the kids' table at Thanksgiving--off in another room away from the adults. It was humiliating and made an already disappointing experience even worse. The entire experience amounted to roughly 15 minutes of taking a few pictures, drinking a poorly made cocktail, and leaving. For what I paid and what was advertised, I expected something much more immersive and fun. I couldn't wait to leave. Thank God I didn't pay for parking. I'm extremely disappointed. I went in excited to celebrate one of my favorite shows and left feeling like I had wasted my time and money. Based on this experience, I would not return to Wanderlust Wine Company.

Their wine list spans South Africa, France, California, and more--and the wine flights are perfect if you're still figuring out what your palate loves. And the charcuterie board? Incredible.

I got the white wine flight loved every pour. I thought it was great value. My friends both got red flights and had nothing but good things to say too. Will absolutely be back. I will say the first time we tried to come here was on a Friday night but there was a comedy show we weren't expecting, so we went somewhere else so we could talk.
