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!

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!

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!

Wine pairing
Kim-Jamy N.

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,

Pairing menu

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.

The flight menu

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!

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.

Decanter and wine

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!

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!

5 oz rose & Cabernet
Erica M.

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.

Crystal took care of us and gave such thoughtful, friendly service--she knew the menu like the back of her hand and made us feel so welcome. We were vibing to '90s throwbacks and house music thanks to the DJ, and the space is perfect whether you're keeping it low-key or posted up in the intimate back room with a group. 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. Huge thanks to @cheeseondecktx for the perfect balance of sweet + savory. So good paired with the wine. Happy Hour: Sun-Fri 4-6pm ($8 house wine) Reverse Happy Hour: Sun-Thurs 8-10pm Definitely recommend for a cozy date night or girls night--just go ahead and order that second glass.

The performers were confident, artistic, and knew exactly how to command the room every act felt intentional and entertaining. The atmosphere added to the whole experienced dim lighting, great music, and a crowd that was fully into it. It felt intimate but still lively, like you were part of something special rather than just watching a show. It was the perfect mix of elegance and edge fun, a little daring, and definitely memorable. I'd absolutely go again.

The chicken thighs and broccolini were grilled to perfection. My wife's hamburger was juicy and delicious with tasty homemade pickles. The french fries were divine. And, to top it all off, the very unique carrot cake with toasted, honey ice cream was the best I've ever tasted Our server, John, was fabulous. He really made us feel welcome and provided us with many tips about what to do and where to eat in Austin. I especially appreciate his sharing how orange wine is made. When we come back to Austin, we will definitely go to Launderette for a meal and we hope to have John server

Staff was great…read more(seated quickly with options, bartender handling the bartop was attentive and friendly) so don't want to take anything away from them. The striped bass crudo could use a menu update. The peppers being used (I forget what the bartender said it was specifically) added a solid building heat to the dish. While I am a spice fan (hence the chicken thigh order with the scotch bonnet aioli) for any guests who don't like spice this would be an unwelcome surprise. On that note - the usage of the peppers should probably be dialed back. From the first bite, the peppers completely overwhelmed the other ingredient notes and instead of an expected umami and citrus bite it's just pepper heat. The avocado does nothing to balance that out so you sadly lose everything the menu says you'll get, and instead get a primary ingredient not listed. The chicken thighs did have a nicely rendered and crisped skin, good cook temp/texture esp with it being on bone. Unfortunately, the dish just tasted flat. I didn't get any of the expected savory and richness from the tomato/cacciatore preparation and there was zero heat in the dish or even the aioli tasted by itself.
