    Beautiful and spacious location makes for a lovely day at a brewery! They have great food and beers as well. Love this place!

    Smash Burger

    What an amazing little oasis just 40 minutes from downtown! Service was friendly and efficient. Here's the highlights: great beer selection, pre-selected & build your own flights excellent food options - from smash burger to carrot cake, my whole crew was happy (a Brit even gave the fish & chips a nod of approval) very dog friendly lots of parking has good programming including live music a few nights a week lots of table options, inside and out, with shade and trees all around! I will be back

    Great day for a daycaytion! Even on a hot day, there is plenty of tree coverage, a nice breeze, and delicious cold pours. You can't miss with this one. Friendly staff happy to let you have a taste before choosing your brew.

    Let me start by saying that I am not a beer drinker but I do love the grounds and a lot of the music talent. Food has unfortunately gone down hill, used to be really good. I'm also not excited to pay $14 for a 3oz pour of ok wine, however the $10 blood orange mimosa is a good alternative. Service is a hit and miss depending on who is working. Atmosphere however is fantastic

    Vista Brewing is on of the best Central Texas breweries, hands down. I've never had a bad...scratch that. I've never had a mediocre beer from Vista. In addition to the good beer the setting and attention to detail in the brewery is second to none. The service is top notch - every time. Why not a five star. I don't love the menu. The quality of the food is top-notch, I Just don't love menu

    This brewery is such a gem! The outdoor seating area is cozy and inviting, with plenty of tables, string lights, and greenery that give it a relaxed, charming vibe--perfect for enjoying a refreshing beer with friends.

    Pickled pleasure

    So I got a gripe. This may be an unsolicited rant but the drive was too nice... rolling hills, the smell of nature with birds calling. It was like a yuppy Disney movie. The walk up was cute... toooo cute... so cute it was barely an inconvenience to the ordering. I got the driftwood, no shocker fam, they got everyone. Well I ate it. It was good. I only wish I could have ate it on horseback not a bench, so put me in coach, I now need another. The fries were mid but the custom sauce made up for them. Sorry I'm just being honest

    Very undercooked burger that we waited 48 minutes for.
    Here I.

    Great ambiance. Drinks are good. Beautiful place. Second year here for Easter. Second year being underwhelmed by the food. Understaffed for the day. Out of food. 48 minute wait for a burger. All 3 burgers in our order were undercooked. Will make alternative plans next year.

    Path to playground
    Stephanie W.

    Ambiance - 5 stars! The playground was adequate but our kids preferred running around playing with sticks in the woods. Drinks - 5 stars Food - 4 stars. The burgers were awesome! Cooked perfectly. The green goddess salad was good.. okay. I would not order it again. For $15 I'd expect a much larger protein portion (chicken) and more to the salad. The dressing was also grittier than I prefer. The chocolate cookies were so dry and just tasted old. Also, they were small but that was fine because they were so bad no one wanted them.

    Warm Pretzel & Wasabi Pub Cheese

    Vista Brewing is my favorite stop for a quick getaway from Austin. This 21-acre brewery in Driftwood features plenty of outdoor seating, tasty beer, and delicious food. They encourage visitors to walk around their property, and I love visiting their apiary and farm. It is also very kid-friendly, and is equipped with a large outdoor playground. Vista Brewing's food is phenomenal, especially for a brewery. They have plenty of both shareable bites and full entrees. My favorite menu items are their green goddess salad, with pistachios and grilled chicken, and warm pretzel with wasabi pub cheese and mustard. Vista Brewing has beer for everyone, but their hive mind honey ale collab with the Hays County Beekeepers Association is my favorite. I recommend ordering a flight so you can try multiple beers. The next time you're looking for some fresh air, I'd look no further than Vista Brewing for a great day out of the city.

    Ample seating
    Holly O.

    Lovely views of the hill country with ample seating inside and outside with a stage and a playground. They have many beers to try as well as mimosas and food. We had a poblano burger that was very good but I forgot to take a picture. I enjoyed trying a variety of flavors with a flight of beers and played a game of giant uno.

    I've wanted to come to Shady Llama for years, and we finally made it out yesterday. I am so…read moredisappointed in myself for not coming all the time before this, because Shady Llama is EXCELLENT! First, the staff members are very friendly and know everything there is to know about their available wine and brews. I love that almost all (if not all) are local sips - it's really great to see all of these different places in Wimberley/Dripping Springs/Spicewood support each other. Just another reason why I love Hill Country! When I saw Lazarus Rice Lager and St. Elmo, my gluten free heart skipped a beat, because both of those brews have been treated with the enzyme that makes the brews (normally) OK for those who are gluten sensitive but not for those with celiacs. I don't miss beer, but those two brews are too delicious to pass up when I see them on tap! We also tried the Spicewood wine flight, which was one of the best wine flights I've ever had, and I cannot wait to go buy bottles of each to bring home. All 3 were delicious, crisp, robust, and beautifully paired with each other in the flight. The views were beautiful. Beautiful is honestly an understatement. I love that so much of this area is still undeveloped. I'm sure it was less developed even 5 years ago, but the views from Shady Llama while sitting in a wooden porch Adirondack chair sipping some wine is perfection. I can only imagine how beautiful it is at sunset. I do wish they had a couple more tables by those chairs so I can rest my drink, but it's uneven and probably hard to do so, so I happily will sit with my brew in hand and relax. There's also plenty of seating but not overly crowded with chairs and benches which is love, and I loved the hammocks too! This place is GREAT for families. Playgrounds, slides, almost all kids areas gated so you don't have to worry about them running into the woods with critters. Fun for all ages, and they're just far enough from the seating to minimize the noise that this kiddos love to make! I loved the llamas. Some of them were so spicy and truly just wanted the food, and I feel that. No pets, just food, and I applaud it. Some of them would let you pet them, and the personalities on some of them were REAL, but give them some food and they may let you take a picture. So much fun having them there! Add on some delicious brisket in the back (I am so sad I missed the burnt ends), and all in all, the Shady Llama is GREAT! You are also able to bring outside food, but no outside beverages! Great place and cannot wait to come back!

    Gorgeous sunset views. Bar was nice. Food truck was closed and no live music on a Saturday night.read more

    Exploring Austin's Hill Country was one of the best decisions we made when visiting friends in…read moreTexas. There was not enough time to go on a wine tour, so I had to figure out which winery to visit. I wasn't familiar with the area and randomly chose Driftwood Estates, which was a surprising highlight of the weekend! Was this real life?! Was I dreaming?! Standing on top of the hill, I was in deep admiration of the panoramic, gorgeous, and breathtaking views! It made me forget about busy city life and I only wanted to appreciate the beauty of nature and all its glory on such a perfect day (while sipping on a glass of wine)! I really did feel like I was in another world - filled with serenity, solitude and relaxation! We did a tasting and enjoyed the reds, which were more on the dry side, but I didn't mind because I prefer dry red wines. I definitely recommend the Sangiovese and Alamo Red. The bar area was a little crowded that day, so we didn't get to interact too much with the staff to learn more about their other wine offerings. There is a store next to the bar area. You can buy cute wine themed souvenirs for family and friends back home. They also have a small cafe - you can get some light bites and head outside, find your perfect cozy spot, and enjoy those breathtaking views! (Caution: There is plenty of parking at the winery, but please be careful and drive slow because of the bumpy gravel road).

    As an Austin Tour Guide I take people out to the Hill Country all the time for wine, beer,…read moredistillery tastings, and barbecue. I've got my favorites and I generally stick with them. Occasionally I'll stop into a new (to me) place and see what they have to offer. On a recent trip, the clients requested Driftwood Estate Winery because they had read a review and wanted to try it. Personally, I am not a fan of their wine but I made a reservation for the 6 of them at 11am and we drove out there on a quiet Thursday. There was only one other car in the parking lot. We walked along the path to the main entrance, admiring the views of the Hill Country from their beautiful and expansive patio. When we approached the desk, one of the more enthusiastic women in our group said, "We're here to taste some wine!" An exceedingly unfriendly elderly lady who looked like the most miserable person on the planet, scowled, "You need a reservation! You can't just come here without a reservation!" (Really? And there's only 1 other car in the parking lot?) Everybody was a little surprised by her attitude and there was a brief uncomfortable pause before I stepped in and assured her that the group had a reservation and gave her the name. They were whisked off to a table by another woman as the first woman muttered something unpleasant under her breath. Long story short-- my guests were less than impressed (with the greeting, the tasting room and the wine) and I can assure Driftwood Vineyards that they've lost at least a couple thousand dollars in any future business from my company. If they haven't already noticed, new wineries are thick on the ground in Driftwood/Dripping Springs. Driftwood Estates is a hard pass. My guests enjoy Fall Creek and Bell Springs much much more.
