Really enjoyed this tour. BBQ at Salt Lick was delicious. We needed a bit more time to spent here. The first winert was OK, the Duchman winery was vert pittoresque and has very good (Italian style) wines. Our guide Matt was very enthusiastic and helpful. He did a wonderfull job!

You should absolutely take this tour with Matt! Matt has wealth of knowledge to share re: Austin, fine barbecue, must see places. The perfect tour guide, Mark engages everyone and makes the trip really fun ā€œto bootā€ ! (Yep, fully intended pun for Texas : ) The brisket and sauce at Saltlick was the out of this world - melts in your mouth with choice of moist, lean and ends offered. The wineries provided tastings of varied and delicious wines with generous pours. Good music (on bus) on return trip. Terrific time!

Our guide was wonderful. Wish I had his name with me but he is a stand up comic. He was very entertaining and very informative. We had a wonderful time. The BBQ was great and the wineries fantastic with great wine
