This was an excellent way to spend a day in Austin. Our tour guide Matt was funny and informative. The BBQ was fantastic, and despite only having 45 minutes to eat, we were served in a timely manner and had plenty of time to enjoy the food. Driftwood Estates had a beautiful view of Texas Hill Country and you got to sample 6 wines. They even included a complimentary wine glass. Unfortunately, we were not able to visit the second winery as it was closed when we arrived. Please know that this was New Years Day so I was a little apprehensive going into this anyway and figured something wouldn't be open. Matt responded quickly and took us to a wine and coffee bar that he knew. However, it was still a little disappointing that we did not get to see the second winery. The company did provide a partial refund for the inconvenience and I received a phone call from the company to apologize. I would love to give them 5 stars for this tour, but not knowing that one of your tour stops is closed does put a damper on the experience. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely tour with them again without hesitation!

Steven McFarlin made our girlfriend getaway trip extra special! Itā€™s so true about their motto ā€œcome as strangers but leave as friends ā€œ So appreciate Steven going the extra mile for us!

Our driver Matt was great! Enjoyed every place we went to. The wineries had wine to suit all different palates. Everyone in my party had a great day! The only downside I could find was that it was a pretty tight schedule and we felt a little rushed at the restaurant. It would be nice if the tour was just one hour longer to allow more time at each stop.
