On our Hill Country BBQ & Wine Shuttle, we provide an entertaining guide/driver to bring guests from Austin out to the Salt Lick BBQ and then two wineries for tastings. Our guests typically have a great time learning about Texas Hill Country, meeting new people, and tasting great food/wine without having to worry about driving themselves. We're bummed to hear that this experience wasn't the best fit for you, but we appreciate your feedback and hope you'll try one of our other tour options.
