Candace, our tour guide was phenomenal. Sheā€™s the only one that made this trip worthwhile. The barbecue was rushed, and the food was not very good. The first winery was not impressive, everyone at our table, a group of eight, ended up pouring at least half of the wine out. The second winery had very good wine, and that was the other saving grace to this trip.

Howdy Diane, we are so sorry to hear that your experiences at the Salt Lick and Fall Creek Vineyards were not to your standards. We are very happy that you enjoyed Kandace, and her tour of the Hill Country. As a small business we have no control over the service or offerings at our vendor partners and we are sad to hear that they did not hit the mark for your group. We take great care in curating these experiences, both Salt Lick and Fall Creek are legendary Texas institutions and get great reviews from our guests. We would like to extend a discount to you for an experience with Austin Detours in the future. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at [email protected].

Brent provided an excellent experience seasoned with a wealth of knowledge. While he shepherded us to two of the very best wineries in the hill country he interjected a comedic and fellowshipping environment. Highly recommend this activity.
