The Falls Creek winery was what I expected! Salt Lick BBQ lived up to its hype. I thought the last winery was nice but I wished that they had seats.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! The two winery stops have different methods for wine tasting with one being seated and the other taking place standing up at the bar. Sometimes folks prefer one over the other and we appreciate your feedback. Regardless, we're glad that you had a "fun fun fun" day in the Texas Hill Country and we appreciate the 5-star review!

This was a very fun tour! Our host Kandace was very informative and an excellent guide. We had a lot of laughs, good food, and great wine. Kandace made us feel welcome it was like we became part of her family. We would recommend this tour!!

Evan was a great host, remember they are just providing information and transportation, buy as little BBQ or wine tasting as you want. Good tour to do early in trip, Evan provides great city in sights.
