    We had the absolute best time! Andres was so knowledgeable about the wines and incredibly engaging. The wine was delicious, and we girls had a blast. Most importantly, my mom truly loved her birthday celebration. atmosphere was a very cool cave!

    Second time here! I love the adaptive experience. You explain your wine preferences and they give you a flight based off of that. The food is absolutely insanneeeee!! Servers are so kind and helpful. They lead you through the wine experience so smoothly. Vibes are so nice! The cave is so mysterious and vibey! Love love love this place! Honestly one of my new favorite places in Austin after trying the food! Ryan and Melissa are the best!

    Came here to celebrate a friend's 21st birthday with the 9-course wine tasting and Melissa made our experience SO AMAZING! She happily took photos for us, thoroughly explained each of the wine and food pairings, and was very eager to answer our many questions. We were the only people registered for the 8pm slot and she gave us plenty of time to enjoy the tasting experience. We never felt rushed and it was great being able to have great conversations with Melissa The interior is very cute and so is the cave area. A lot more spacious than we were expecting and the tables are big enough to not be crowded with multiple glasses and food on the table. Each of the wine and food pairings were really interesting in a good way, and definitely a great experience if you enjoy trying new things and exploring. My friend and I HATE blue cheese and fruit in savory foods, but our absolute favorite dish ended up being a combo with tomatoes, grapes, and blue cheese! They change their 9-course tasting menu quarterly and we'll definitely be back!

    Wine pairing

    It was all very tasty and the wines great. I think my concern is that the price point is super high for really tiny bites and so after spending $250 and finishing the tasting, my husband and I went to a restaurant across the street and had a full dinner. I think the idea of a wine cave is really cool, but in actuality, I'm not sure it actually delivered in the way that I had expected,

    We recently saw that wanderlust was offering a pairing menu in their new wine cave space at Barton springs and for $99/pp we decided to give it a go. The main space is a cute concept - a great live musician was set up inside and while the inside main space had fairly limited seating (and a very limited wine menu), the outdoor seating area was large and accommodating. Because we were part of the tasting/cave experience our group was led downstairs to a very swanky area and then brought into their "cave" space. The concept was cute and it definitely had a cave vibe (even if it was artificial they pulled it off). The pairings were fantastic - the selection of wines was really great (Spanish/Portugal wines for this flight) and the bites/sips were very thoughtful and well matched. The service and ambiance were fab for a great date night experience. For $99/pp (with taxes and fees it was about $250) we had a great time. The host said they're trying to create additional pairings and new menus and we will definitely go back. Well worth the money for the experience.

    Pleasantly surprised with the coffee here! Although the wine was tempting I ordered an Adaptogenic vanilla latte, and it was foamy, creamy and just the amount of froth. It was pretty strong too. This place is adorable with all its plant decor and vibrant pink walls, but personally not my style. I did appreciate how quiet and spacious it was. The outdoor patio is going to be great when the weather cools down. Inside Service was great, not sure I'll come back again, but I'm glad I checked out this spot! Oh get there before 5pm to get free parking. They start valet in the parking lot.

    I visited this wine bar while visiting a friend in Texas. We did the $100 wine with food pairings in a cave. Sorry, forgot what they call it. However, the pairings were perfectly on point and I was perfectly tipsy! The cave was just a little too dark, that's my only complaint. The hosts were super informative, accommodating and fun! The other people there were having a good time too. Loved it!

    I attended for a private event and had an amazing time. From the enthusiasm of the employees to welcome us and give us an introduction to the space, to the amazing quality and beautiful stories behind their curated selection. The ambiance is cozy and makes for a great way to taste wine and have a great conversation. I will be returning for their next wine rotation!

    Latte
    Paige M.

    Cute atmosphere, but just is not my cup of tea. However my cup of coffee was a different story. It was very smooth and refreshing as an iced latte. I the interior of the space is fairly small, and the way that they have set up the seating has limited the number of people who can be inside. Luckily the outdoor space is beautiful I think if it wasn't so hot when I went, it would have been more enjoyable and I would've stayed longer. May be a good idea to invest in some misters.

    Frose and Margarita
    Aude L.

    We really enjoyed the chill vibe here. They have both a covered patio as well as smaller indoor area. Their wine selection is small but varied and organic/biodynamic - every kind of wine lover can find something they like. The employees were super friendly and were ready to share recommendations when they asked. My favorite was the sparkling white, but I also enjoyed the frosé because it was much drier than others I've tried in the past.

    Depends on what you're looking for. I was expecting the pour-your-own experience I saw on the main website...but that's apparently at other locations instead of this one. However, this was a cute place with fun drinks. The wine was wine...but surprisingly we enjoyed the frozen drinks...and the heart straws!!! Parking, as others have mentioned, is not good... however, "up the hill" was plenty of parking and good calorie burning! (Seriously not bad at all) Our server was adorable and helpful. The truth is...I'd come back just for the amazing heart straws. They're so cute! But I digress... Anywho...the outdoor area looks fun when the weather cools down, the ladies bathroom was super cute...I do think I'll come back to try more wines and the taco truck!

    This was a casual, non-pretentious wine & coffee bar, great for a first date or girl chat. It was not loud and both the rose & cab that my friend & I tried were pretty darned tasty. Atmosphere was cozy with a great multi level patio & staff was super helpful. Parking is veeery limited and around the back on Kinney Avenue..

    Wanderlust winery has a great wine tasting experience. I enjoyed most of the wines and the service was great. The food pairing on the other hand definitely fell short for me. I do recommend trying out this experience though it was entertaining and a good exposure to different wines I wouldn't normally order. But the food really fell flat for me, most were too salty and there were only a couple of courses I actually enjoyed. But you're really here for the wine and besides the last dessert wine I actually liked almost everything. The last wine was way too sweet for my tastes I could barely even drink a sip of it. I did feel it was a little pricy for a what you get despite it being 9 courses.

    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.

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!!!

All the wines are made from 100% Texas grown grapes by a Texas native, Randy Hester (from Houston maybe?), who started as an intern at Cakebread Cellars in Napa. You can order by the glass or opt for a tasting. They do a great job catering to your palette and will customize the tasting most of the time. If you're driving to Fredericksburg or Georgetown for your wine membership pick ups, I highly recommend going in for a tasting here. I'd be surprised if you didn't decide to switch. They also have great member events pretty regularly. The atmosphere inside is very relaxed. It's like a little cool oasis (especially during the summer). Really, besides the wine, which speaks for itself, the staff make this place. They're knowledgeable and they all are pretty passionate about the wine. Parking is easy most days and the Yard offers some options for food that you can have brought in to you (or you can grab and bring in) or order a cheese board with your wine. Overall, 10/10 would recommend!

The entire experience lasts about 90 minutes, and they did start a few minutes late. They did a good job describing the cheeses, the other paired snacks, and the wine pairings. They also did a good job choosing a good variety of cheeses and giving good pairings. The table crackers are refilled throughout the tasting, but nothing else on the cheese plate is refilled. The setup was not quite what I expected. There are six tables that seat ~six people, so you're going to be sitting with strangers. You start by going around the room and introducing yourself and your favorite cheese, basically as an ice breaker to meet everyone there. It was a little noisy and not intimate for a 2-person outing. It felt much more like a social gathering, and I think it would be better as a friend meeting, group gathering, or even a team-building activity. It's also a good way to meet strangers if that's what you're looking for. You get a discount on in-store purchases, which is a nice bonus. You can also take your leftovers home, so don't feel compelled to eat the entire plate like I did! The only other issue was that cashing out took a long time at the end because their POS system wasn't working well.
