This was our first time visiting this winery during our October Texas Wine Passport tour. I very much enjoyed the comfortable decor and plentiful seating in the air conditioning. Stephen did a nice job introducing the wines to us and we appreciated that he brought each tasting to the table for us. We preferred the reds. Our favorite was the Pinot Noir. read more

Very casual service, romantic or relaxing setting I admit, I have drives by Fall Creek so many times but the ugly plastic flamingos kept me from visiting. I was celebrating a friend's birthday and we were looking for a casual spot to enjoy a glass of wine so we decided to take a chance. We were both pleasantly surprised by the beautiful stone wall, flowers, and gas lamps! This would definitely be worth visiting again on a cooler evening to walk the property and try the covered patio. The Lescalo Rose was very good - it is a little sweeter than I would normally drink but it really is light and refreshing. In fact, I purchased an extra bottle to enjoy poolside and everyone really enjoyed it! The service is extremely casual and the small tasting room has a large fireplace so Fall Creek is definitely going on my winter romantic date night list. While we were visiting, there was a mix of a bachelorette party, hill country day trippers, and locals so clearly something for everyone. This is a nice option if you are looking for something that doesn't require reservations. Next time, I will definitely do a wine tasting and check their calendar to see what events they offer. read more

Great experience ay Fall Creek Vineyards. Beautiful property, calm and inviting. Our server helped us to feel right at home and provided generous information about wine selections and the venue history. We sampled a few delicious wine choices before selecting a bottle of Roussanne. We also purchased a bottle of Rose' to enjoy later. I would definitely recommend a visit! read more

Beautiful winery with a beautiful garden to sit in and relax. The staff was great, friendly and knowledgeable. However I wasn't too big a fan of the wines, I'm more of a sweet wine drinker and most of what they have are all dry. But I truly enjoyed the atmosphere and ambience of the place. read more

During a recent overnight stay in Austin for a concert, we decided to visit a vineyard the following day. A quick search led us to Fall Creek. It's about a 30 minute drive outside of downtown Austin. We were very pleased to have visited! This place is beautiful and so peaceful! Our host was knowledgeable and friendly! She provided helpful information on the wines being served and also interesting facts about the venue itself. We were given a tour and settled on sitting at a table in the main room. We ordered a charcuterie board to accompany the wines. The samples started with light white wines and moved towards reds, finishing with a fuller bodied merlot. We purchased their house mustard made with wine. It's so yummy! We look forward to visiting again next time we're in Austin! read more

Not a good experience. The outdoors smells like sewage because they are rebuilding a septic tank. We signed up for a tasting and tour and were just handed menus and then told there was only one flight to pick from so ended up ordering bottles to share. We asked if we could order food and they said build your own board from pre-packaged meat and cheese sitting in the dining room. I would have expected a more options and it to be plated and presented correctly. The outdoor area in the back had hundreds of mosquitos so everyone was getting bitten. Been to a fair amount of wineries, this is the worst one I have been to. The wine was ok, but very expensive $50-100 per bottle. read more

A great winery! This is a beautiful winery and a great stop if you plan on visiting the other winery nearby or salt lick BBQ. Everyone is exceptionally helpful, they have a very comfortable tasting room, but I felt the tasting was way overpriced, so I decided to just buy a bottle of the Fall Creek Vineyards Tempranillo to drink while the rest of the group had their tasting. They have an impressive operation and make some wonderful wines, definitely worth the stop. Cheers! read more

If you're looking to have a nice day trip from Austin, Fall Creek is a great spot. I love coming out here for a wine tasting and enjoying the outside patio and having the vineyard to explore. The landscape is gorgeous and the staff are so knowledgeable and friendly. Most importantly, the wine is delicious. Pro tip- for an additional $8 you can add on an extra tasting of the ExTerra Tempranillo (usually a $100 bottle). It's amazing and a must try. read more

The only vineyard worth visiting near Austin! Y'all I'm serious, the atmosphere is very quiet, homey, they greet you as soon as you walk in and want to help you have a great experience. They need to be seen more online! Good and wine are both great prices, they make all of their own wine as well. They also have open vineyards to walk, unlike many vineyards in the area. 10/10 would return! Thank you! read more

RUINED our honeymoon - I cannot empathize this enough!!!! Only giving 1 star since I can't give 0. Let me start with we planned on going here for a Honeymoon Getaway, & this place gave the WORST possible customer service I have ever received. The ambiance was a room full of "Susan & Karen" clones who all looked the same. 1st off; we had booked the Chardonnay Room for our Honeymoon. On our drive from Dallas we were running a bit behind & we called ( +1(512) 858-4050) to notify that we'd be late for our 4pm tasting. They said no problem, we close at 5. We also re-iterated that we had the Chardonnay Room & they told us "oh no worries we'll see y'all when you get here". First the signs are not accurate and we can't find the "Guest House Parking there was only "Visitor Parking" & "Limousine parking". We call, they tell us "uh yeah go in that direction there's a shed & the parking is there". It wasn't. We park and go inside to ask for help & that's where the shit show began. First we walked in & looked around for someone to help, but NO ONE walked up to us or even greeted us with a "one moment please". Not even 5 seconds later a group of 10+ white women walk in and they were IMMEDIATELY approached by who I believed to be Debbie. She started chatting it up with them & never looked in my direction the whole time despite me scanning the room like a lost dog looking for help. Debbie continued her conversation & the wine tasting room was clearing out from the last group so I asked the lady behind the counter (Meghan) for help with finding the Chardonnay Room & the Guest Room Parking. Meghan started to rattle off directions as I walk to my husband and I ask her "can someone please just walk with us? We're from out of town & are super confused". She started to get an attitude saying "it's not our job, it's hill country". We mentioned we have a tasting at 6, & Meaghan replied "we close at 6". She walked us outside & showed the keypad to enter the code, but the lock was hidden on a gate COVERED in vines, it starting to get dark, & the lock label wasn't even facing forward it was on the back. My husband then clarified that we were not having a good experience so far, & Meghan wanted to remark "you'll need to call Hill Country for that." I looked straight at my husband & said "I'm not staying here with all this, I'd rather go back to Dallas." The fact that she didn't feel the need to sympathize, apologize for us having difficulty, NOTHING - was enough for me. I would NEVER recommend this place. read more

Fall Creek Vineyards is a winery nestled on a beautiful property in Texas' wine country. We were greeted upon entry and taken to our table. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable about the wines. We ended up ordering a cheese platter, which had some great cheeses. The wine itself was alright. The only one I liked off the menu was the merlot rosé. Everyone's palate is different, of course. My sister really liked the Roussanne. We both ordered a glass of our favorites to enjoy before going to the next winery. The ambiance of the winery is wonderful and it's very picturesque. read more

Enjoyed ambiance, service, wine selections, and pop up nursery with music. We have been here a number of times and recommend it.

Such a beautiful venue and so accommodating. The wine is on par with NAPA. Especially the Pinot.

TLDR: relaxing atmosphere with nice white wines. Good on the spectrum of Texas wines but not on the level of French or Napa wines. This is a great spot right across the street from salt lick. Parking lot is gravel but there's plenty of parking available. Hostess was extremely friendly and great conversation. The wines themselves are good- we especially loved the Chardonnay and reserve wines. Based on Texas wineries, I have to say this is hands down one of the better vineyards. That being said, I have a deep love for Russian river valley wines (especially green valley pinots and Chardonnay's) and Texas grapes just don't measure up. Is that an unfair comparison? Probably. Overall highly recommend visiting and supporting local. You'll want this on your wine tasting list of stops for sure, and best of all it's fairly close to Austin. read more

I visited this vineyards Dec 23 in the afternoon. We were the only one in the winery. We received good attention from the staff. The wine tasting was really good. Got to get one of the bottles for a present and an edged glass to keep. I plan to visit Texas in a near future and this is one place that I plan to come back again. Wine first and bbq later. Of all of the wines Mourvedre was our favorite. read more

FCV at Driftwood is a nice little winery, with seating indoors and out. When we were visiting, there was only one other guest present (midday Tuesday). As a personal recommendation, if you're trying to social distance, I would suggest visiting here only during the weekdays when it's less busy, otherwise it may seem too crowded since the place is on the smaller side. The food menu mainly consists of cheese and snacks that go well with wine but it's a little overpriced. The staff was nice but they were just there for the most part, nothing more to enhance our experience. 3/5 staff/service 4/5 nicely decorated interior and exterior 5/5 with the right company read more

Fall Creek Vineyards totally exceeded our expectations! We have been super strict about staying home during COVID-19, but my #1 birthday wish was to get out ... in a safe way. With young children. My husband called Fall Creek ahead of time and was told that kids were allowed and that there was plenty of outdoor space. We arrived around 2pm on a Wednesday afternoon and were greeted by a super friendly and knowledgeable gentleman. I wish I had grabbed his name, because he was seriously amazing. He let us know that a food purchase was required to be served on premise, which was not a problem at all because everything looked delicious (we chose a cheese platter), and gave us a wine menu as well. We selected our own seats and were able to stay away from the party that came in after us. Our sommelier was so knowledgeable and provided everything in a COVID-19 safe way. He was also super sweet to our kids, even though our three year old was crushing crackers on the table (we cleaned up after him before we left but it was still so embarrassing). All of the wines were delicious. We ended up leaving with their Tempranillo, their Sauvignon-blanc (vintners-selection) and two souvenir glasses. We spent about an hour at Fall Creek, which ended up being the total highlight of my birthday, but could have spent more time there exploring their beautiful grounds had we not had a dinner reservation. read more

The wine was amazing!!! Needless to say, we will be returning on our next trip to Austin. We are huge Cabernet fans and all of the wines were delicious. We took a few bottles home. When we tried the Tempranillo and it swept us off our feet. We have since found some of these wines in our local Houston Spec's. The facility is clean and the grounds are well kept. The restrooms are also clean!!! Our host was simply amazing and went above and beyond to explain the process and enjoyed the discussion describing the notes we would/did experience. Really enjoyed the entire experience. read more

TL;DR: Couldn't recommend this more for a safe way to spend the day with your friends during (and even not during!) Covid. My mom's in town so I wanted to take her to a winery semi-close to Austin but not too far away. ENTER: Fall Creek. It's been recommended to me by several friends so figured I'd check it out for myself: PROS: Seriously the nicest staff in the world. Thank you Daniel! Plenty of socially distanced tables and chairs in LOTS of different areas of the winery A bottle of their amazing Sauvignon Blanc - $22! Great snacks to accompany (I got Pimento cheese) They had live music on a Saturday with a full band. swoon! Across the street from Salt Lick if you want foods CONS: Seriously none. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Can't wait to visit again! Pro tip: go to Desert Door nearby for more fun. :) read more

Texas has great wines. A short drive from Austin (right across from Salt Lick) you can spend a few hours in the vineyard, sit in the patio, or stay inside. Of course, there is wine tasting and a variety of bottles for sale. Fall Creek makes wines in all price points. From the quite good inexpensive wines to award-winning bottles for people who really know their reds. I am a fan of their Tempranillo. If you are in Austin, it's worth a visit! read more

After 3 months of quarantine, two of us ventured out for a bff day of wine and views. Our 2nd stop was Falls Creek....it was so pretty with perfect sunny weather and enough seating inside and out. Covid is still among us so they offer hand santizers but you bring your own mask. Most patrons didn't have on of course once they had their wine in hand. We opted to sit outdoors. Tables are 3-4 ft apart in some spots so choose within your comfort zone for social distancing. We grabbed a quick glass of wine and made our way to the next stop. Looking forward to returning with the hubby this summer. read more

Nestled in a beautiful converted hill-country home; Fall Creek is a nice place to gather with friends and enjoy the house and outdoor spaces. The house made vino is the star and I enjoyed the terrific service with suggestions/explanations for the non-sommelier types like myself. A really cool place and I highly recommend. read more

Good stop on your wine tour! We opted for two full glasses of their most standout wines and although it was much more expensive wine than I'm used to, we did get a generous pour. The backyard terrace is peaceful and has many seating options. I would've loved to see an option where you could do a wine tasting outdoors, perhaps the same way you order a beer flight. I saw this because wine tastings are only offered inside. read more

I was pleasantly surprised to try this winery in Texas and discover amazing wines. Every wine on the tasting menu was incredible. That's rare to find. This winery is a gem! The staff are as incredible, too. I can't wait to come back. read more

Great wines, beautiful atmosphere and very knowledgeable staff! They've been around a long time, I'm thrilled to see them do so well.

Beautiful Tasting Room from a converted older home right across the street from Salt Lick Vineyard and restaurant. Fortunate to be served our tasting today by Daniel who explained everything in detail and made the tasting even more enjoyable. Some very good wines from these Vineyards and they've been around for quite a while. Extra pleasure was to meet again the owner Susan who is just a sweet and accommodating as she can be. Offered lots of conversation regarding the Harvest this year and the condition of the grapes. Always nice to know that people with a lot of money are so down to earth. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and were able to snap some pictures of the small vines of grapes out in front of The Tasting Room. Definitely will be back and definitely will continue to buy Fall Creek wines at our local HEB. read more

We didn't care for this place that much. The dining/patio area was nice but seemed like some of it was off limits (maybe party rooms). Wine offering was limited. We had a Chardonnay, Tempranillo and a Lescalo. They were just OK but it was the end of our day before heading to Salt Lick so that could have had an impact. One visit here was enough for us. read more

Fall Creek Vineyard has a LONG history in Texas as the first vineyard planted in the hill country in 1975 at their original estate in Tow. I hadn't visited the Dripping Springs tasting room, which opened in 2014. So on a recent weekday afternoon, my husband and I stopped in. Our server was attentive, the space was peaceful and spacious. One fun surprise was the "Lescalo" Chenin Blanc which is a low calorie, low alcohol crisp white wine is refreshing and only $20 a bottle. It just may be my house white this summer. I especially love the ExTerra Syrah, which is a pricey bottle but worth every penny. If you're a wine lover, you should stop for a tasting at Fall Creek. read more

First a positive: the winery if very charming on the outside and inside. Our waitress was so rude to me that our entire party only stayed for 20 minutes then left. We were a party of 6 and wanted to try out different bottles but only bought one because of how I was being treated. I do not remember her name but she had an accent (maybe English). I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

This vineyard was a delightful second stop on our day drinking in the Driftwood area. The wine picked by my group was light , refreshing and the perfect compliment to have after we had made a lunch stop at a brisket place. We had been feeling stuffed but this wine was so light and enjoyable to help digest our food while we enjoyed their peaceful tranquil outdoor seating area near a cute little pond. We also took advantage of their photo opportunity landscapes. read more
