When we arrived, there was a party of ladies in the tasting room on a bus tour, evidently they were quite enjoying both the food and the wine! I went with the Poblano Chicken Lasagna and Deb the Chicken Alfredo and both came with a decent sized, fresh side salad. We enjoyed the food and also the accompanying wines we chose from the wine tasting list. We went home with full, happy bellies and three bottles of their excellent Reds. We also had a great visit with Richard, the owner, who told us the story of the winery and also how he ended up with a London bus on the property (I am a naturalized Texan, originally from London!) All in all, a very enjoyable lunch.

This was the first stop on our wine tour so we were excited. It is small on the inside but has some…read moreoutdoor seating. Our group sat at the bar. They have a preset tasting with 4 wines and it is self guided. The tray is cute with o mason jars. There was minimal info on the wines such as the year and grapes. No info on the notes. Nothing impressed us flavor wise. They really passed the pimento cheese and curry chicken. We got the cheese and upgraded to bear instead of saltines. It was good and $15. I believe they have some accommodations on site. It's a cute unassuming place but not my favorite on the tour.

One word to describe this winery: gorgeous! The new tasting…read moreroom is modern and beautifully designed, with thoughtful aesthetics throughout. The spacious patio and lovely views overlooking the vineyard make it an especially relaxing place to spend an afternoon. I came for the summer tasting event and I'm so glad I did! It's about a little under a hour's drive from Austin for me, but I had a free Sunday and the drive was really enjoyable, so it was definitely worth it especially since the wine was pretty good. For the tasting, the Cab Franc was the standout for me and I even ended up buying a bottle to take home. Honestly though, pretty much all of the reds were enjoyable. My server was friendly and attentive and even let me try a few wines that weren't included in my tasting, which I really appreciated. I also had the chance to meet one of the owners Daniel, who was incredibly friendly and introduced me to the in-house chef who makes the oven-fired pizzas. Seriously, don't skip the pizzas! They're still working on bringing the winery to its full potential, but based on my experience, I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the Hill Country area.

I'd say their draft mead is so refreshing and i highly recommend having a cooler so you can take one of those growlers to-go. The other 2 flavors were sold out but the blackberry mead was to die for. I had that as a tasting and had to buy a glass too. Imagine a delicious blackberry mead with some nice La Croix bubbles on the poolside. They also have some light snack options which paired perfectly with the tastings. You got to pair up some of the berry forward wines with some of the local chocolate they sell too. It was a wonderful experience here and I highly recommend people to add this to their wine stops.

They had a large group at the bar when we arrived so we did have to wait a bit and they didn't tell us what we needed to do to get the tasting. They gave the party some flyers and a pen. One section said "not by the glass" so they presumed that meant not for the tasting. When we brought the slips up the employee said they could try the ones that said "not by the glass", my husband said "We aren't with that group" (sometimes they give large groups perks) and the employee said, "I'm old, not stupid." Which embarrassed me and the other person as the large party heard him. It took a very long time to get through the tasting and I honestly don't think my party finished, we were just ready to leave. We had ordered pretzels which we got as we were walking out!! They do give a military discount. With all the other distilleries, wineries, and tasting houses you should watch the sarcasm and/or attitudes. IMO

Once you selected a flight, they brouht that full flight to you at once. No getting up to order or waiting around. This is the way to do it! Their pizzas were absolutely delicious as well! Honestly, they were better than the wine in my opinion. They had indoor and outdoor seating, and stunning flowers in bloom on the walk up to the door which made for a great photo op.

By the grace of the "wine" Gods, Carla could fit us in her schedule! She is completely open to letting you choose your places or you can follow her lead! She picked us up at our accommodations which were several miles outside of Fredricksburg. We did introductions and she laid out the things that were already scheduled for the day. On our way to the first winery, we decided to "reroute" the tour to hit some lesser known spots. TBH, we were excited for Carla's recommendations. Our first stop was Six Shooter because of their variety of dry wines, sweet wines and meads. You have to try the Jalapeno shooter!!! SO GOOD! Second, we made our tour time at Real Ale and did a beer tasting. Third, she realized the majority of our groups like Whiskey, so we stopped at Andalusia Whiskey in Blanco! This place met the needs of our entire group (even the non-whiskey drinker) and was by far the most unique stop of their day! If you go here, try the Cherry Cola cocktail! We stopped for lunch at Pecan Street Brewing in Johnson City, where we drank lots of water and had really great food. Our last stop of the tour was Zero815 Winery which had a cool mix of wines and friendly staff. At the end of the day, Carla made sure that we made it back to our accommodations safe and sound. We had the very best time and she knows some of the coolest places that you might miss without her expertise. She was extremely professional and very down to earth. She was always around to help with recommendations or just to snap photos of the group! We highly recommend doing a tour with Carla and Texas Wine & Spirit Tours! You won't be disappointed! We'll be booking with her again the next time we are in the area!
