Austin Wine Tour: Explore The Texas Hill Country

Let’s head for the hills! This road trip takes you out of Austin and into our beloved Hill Country for amazing food and wine. Texas has long been famous for its amazing BBQ and has quickly become a top destination for wine lovers as well! Texas Hill Country is the third largest wine-growing region in the United States covering more than 9 million acres. Our first stop will be Salt Lick, one of the most famous BBQ pits in the Lone Star State, where you can savor fall-off-the-bone brisket, sausage, turkey, and out-of-this-world sides. Then we will wind through the hills, stopping at two different award-winning Texas wineries along the way. This is the quintessential Hill Country tour!

Our group of 10pp booked the Hill Country Wine Tour and couldn’t have been more pleased with the service. Jason, our awesome tour guide kept us entertained with his witty banter and historical stories of Austin along the way. I highly recommend this tour and would use them again.

What a great way to start our honeymoon in Austin! Joe was a fantastic guide who talked us through facts and history of the local area and the hill country. Went to the Salt Lick which was one of the top BBQ spots we wanted to visit and went to two fantastic wineries for wine tasting.

I have to admit that I saw the word “shuttle” and thought it involved only a ride to the BBQ and two wineries. I happy to say I could not have been more wrong. Our guide, Joe, was great fun, provided commentary throughout the day and helped us make the most of each stop. The BBQ was delicious as expected, but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the wine.
