The best part of the trip was Jax! Her knowledge of the area was given in story form and made it interesting and engaging. You entered the van as a stranger and left a friend. Food was delicious and the wineries fun had beautiful grounds.

The tour was fun and and nice way to learn A little bit about Austin. It was a great way to try some famous Texas bbq and try a little bit of their local wines while learning some history. I would recommend if you like wine and bbq. And the tour guides are pretty informative so you can definitely ask where are the best spots to try in town. and if you donā€™t eat meat. The sides are really good aswlell

This was a fun tour, Trace was our guide and did a great job. The wineries were nice and it would've been good to have at least an extra 30min at the end as it seemed our last stop was a little rushed. Definitely a nice option to explore outside of Austin.

It's great to hear that you had fun on the Hill Country BBQ & Wine Shuttle! Sorry to hear that you felt a little rushed at the end. We do our best to give everyone 45-60min to enjoy each stop, but we know that Salt Lick BBQ and the wineries can be busy --especially in spring/summer-- so it can be tough to move the group through in the allotted time of 4.5 hours. We hope you'll come back and join us again soon! Thanks for the review!
