Quaint little country winery…read more Pulled up and instantly felt like we were on a mini farm tour. chickens roaming everywhere and the cutest baby chicks stealing the show. They also had mules and alpacas... but they were definitely on "do not disturb" mode. Wine tasting was 5 for $15, and I appreciated how detailed their menu was. It actually made choosing feel less like a guessing game. Bonus: you can mix it up with frozen drinks too, and honestly, everything we tried had great flavor. Food check: Charcuterie board was good, just wish it had a little more protein (felt a little light on the meats). Pizza though? Crispy, tasty, and did exactly what it needed to do alongside the wine Overall, such a sweet, laid-back experience. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the mood for wine, vibes, and a little farm energy.

Family and animal very friendly. Bring everyone! Very casual and relaxing with live country music on Saturdays. Music - when we were there- was not too loud. David Touchton was in stage. He was fantastic! If you get a chance to see/hear him sing... you really should. One man band but he is just that good. Now back to the Rising Sun. I particularly enjoyed the watermelon and pear accentuated wines. Very different and fun. Hubby really liked the "Barbarian" red. The food menu includes tacos, pizzas, burgers, and a few sharable dishes like hatch chili skillet enchiladas, wings, charcuterie board etc. It is all self service. Everyone is very nice.

We've been back a few times and it just keeps getting better! They've added a kitchen, and a menu…read morethat includes a humongous cobb salad. And they've added a brewery called Yegua Creek, which offers glasses a beer, flights and growlers. They have many styles of beer, all brewed with excellence. The staff is always friendly. We always feel appreciated. We've seen a lot of musical acts here. The owner really knows music and is well connected. They have a three day music festival next month that we'll check out. This place is a real gem. Bring your dog (and a leash). Bring your friends. Bring your kids. Check it out :-)

There is also a beautiful patio overlooking the vineyard to sit outside and enjoy the view. The bar serves wine and bubbly. They don't do cocktails but they do have a good selection of brown water to choose from. If you get hungry they do have a charcuterie and delicious Neapolitan style pizza to name a few things from the menu.

The last winery on our tour. The least personal favorite, I don't want to sound like I wine a lot,…read morebut I do wine a little, wine not? It was cute, don't get me wrong, the newest winery we visited. The owner Chelsea has been making wine for 10 years (as I was told by the tour guide), although I believe this winery has only been in business since 2017. You would always be exposed to the elements, from what I hear these tours are rain or shine. They have fun comfortable out door seating with some cool canopies but mostly for a little shade nothing more. I did buy a bottle of wine, Sweet Red Firefly, but I wish I had bought more at the second winery. They do sell trinkets and jewelry which you know how that point of purchase works. Grabbed some earrings and then some more. The restroom was clean, but the winery was small, and still much needed work is to be done. The walkway into the building was muddy with broken steps to get across a very muddy path. Lucky this wineaholic didn't end up on her knees. We had the most fun here, as we were super relaxed and the liquid therapy had us all on cloud wine. We chased chickens, did cartwheels, twerked, and caught the sunset in the vineyards.

Great off the road find! Lovely wines (especially Sunday Traffic & Petit Sirah) and fun atmosphere!…read moreCan't wait to go back!

Decided to be a day tripper on Saturday as it was a beautiful day for a drive…read more Friends had told us about stopping at Sixth Street Bourbon on their way to Austin while traveling on 290 Hwy. Lots of free parking available. Entered the place and we were greeted by a smiling employee and some water! This place is a great secret to exploring. They have 4 different bourbons that they give you FREE samples. And they have several others that they only charge $3.00 per sample. Husband & I each had a taste of the 4 year & the 6 year which was a great way to become familiar with their bourbon. We then decided to order some drinks. Husband had Smoked Bourbon (rocks glass) which is;2oz Sixth Street Bourbon, 1 oz Vanilla Liqueur, Mesquite-Smoked Ice Cube, Cinnamon Stick( so they smoke the ice cube) this was a great drink. I had Old Fashioned (rocks glass) 2 oz Sixth Street Bourbon, 1/2 oz Simple Syrup, Angustura Bitters, Orange Twist, "Filthy" Cherry. It's an Old Fashioned which is always good. This place is small town charm with a 'Cheers' feel. I highly recommend that you go here. If traveling on 71 or 10 or 290 make the stop and hang out with some great people and drink some great bourbon. ...You MUST try the Rock and Rye as it's like Fall in a shot glass, but you need to sip it and enjoy it. Your Welcome!!

We stopped by Sixth Street Bourbon today while site seeing the town of Giddings. The owner was…read morevery welcoming and gave us a tasting of the different bourbon and vodka. He gave me tips on how to take in more of the flavors while sampling. Overall I would recommend this business. The bottles are very nice. With Christmas nearing they would make great gifts.

Threshold Vineyards showed up at the Houston Rodeo and I took their card and vowed to check this…read moreplace out. Really easy drive (about an hour from Houston) AND it's next to a Bee Farm. This has some seating indoors and some outdoors, so going during the fall is probably ideal. Not a huge space, but when I arrived on a 100-degree day, there were plenty of seats to choose from. I did two different flights- the sparkling and the tasting. I'm more of a red lover, but the Blanc Du Bois semi-sweet is one of the only whites I've REALLY enjoyed (I received a tasting of this at the rodeo and wanted to check out more options here since I loved it so much). There are only two sparkling options at the moment, so I tried both. The real star was the Belle for me. I can definitely see myself taking this to brunch or enjoying while cooking a meal. It is light and refreshing and you can totally taste the fruity guava notes in it. The Blanc Du Bois regular is not sweet enough for me which is probably why I enjoy the Semi Sweet so much. Of course, I left with a bottle of this as well. I'd like to come back and try their Reds- but definitely something I'll have to do in the future. If you're already out this way, you can taste some wine and then book a Bee-Keeping class which I really enjoyed.

The best I can say about the wine is that it was mediocre…read more The women running the place weren't very friendly, but I was on a wine tour and really didn't pay much attention to that. I was there to drink good wine! unfortunately, that's not what I got. I got five tasting tokens. I tried the Jal Spice (weird smoky flavor and bad aftertaste) the heritage (best of the bunch), the mead (decent, so i got two pours) and a red blend I can't remember (except that it tasted bad). Although I bought bottles at the other two wineries, I wasn't even tempted. The wine tasted off. The best description I can think of it that it tasted skunky, like bad beer, but also had this overwhelming wooden taste in the red ones. The mead was ok and the heritage had the least amount of aftertaste. My entire tour agreed that it wasn't worth the stop. Hope the company eliminates them from future tours.

This is a hidden spot and you question where or not to pull up on this semi private lot/…read moreestablishment. She is a very nice woman the owner. She has a great variety of wines and taste for all pallets. My only negative feedback is that the tasting pores are very small and not worth the tasting amount which is about $12 I believe.
