Update 02-03-2024 7…read moreCreeks continues to produce some of the best wines in Central Texas. Stopped by this weekend because one of our favorite chefs was onsite doing his thing... Papa Paella! Hands down the best paella we have ever had! That's another review though! LOL The Horne family that owns and runs 7 Creeks are great folks. Always stopping by to visit (when they can, it stays pretty busy on weekend days), and they're all willing to talk about how they make the wine, wine and food pairing, etc. They offer some food items, e.g., charcuterie board, Fat Boy Cheese and crackers (if you haven't had Fat Boy cheese, you gotta get you some of that-- delicious!). And, they welcome you bringing your own food. It's a good place for families, usually quite a few there, plenty of room for kids to run around and exhaust themselves! :-) 7 Creeks usually has live music on Saturdays, and often has special menus cooked and offered by Jerry Horne, he is a fantastic cook... gumbo, street tacos, etc. Well worth your time to stop by the winery in Burnet, TX. Highly recommend 7 Creeks Vineyard.

The view is breathtaking as well as the company. This place provides a perfect get away from the big city and a great family feeling.

Also, kid friendly when certain events happen and animal friendly as there is a winery dog who hangs out and lives in the guest.

Knob Creek rocks, Elijah Craig rocks, a Ranch Water (a bit too sweet), and a classic Italian Aperol Spritz. Dinner on the patio starting with a smoked bacon appetizer followed by a wedge salad. Sugared bacon was delicious. Wedge didn't have the salad core removed which was a bit disappointing. Shared a coal-fired Margarita pizza with chicken added. Pizza was cooked perfectly and was delicious with a healthy amount of ingredients, including the excellent blend of cheeses. Our waiter Peter was very professional, friendly and informative. Definitely recommend the Vineyard for an upscale night out with excellent ambiance featuring a Mediterranean decor. Will go back.

It's delightful how they've grown. Flannigans is clearly a labor of love (for alcohol, architecture, food and Texas history) and the joy of experimentation.

Catch Kevin (one of the owners) at the right time and you just might find yourself in a trivia battle!

We got the fig and prosciutto pizza (had feta and balsamic glaze on top) and it was decent. It would have been better with some arugula on top! It needs a little bit of savory for it to not lean too far into a dessert pizza. Very much appreciated they made the food in-house compared to some of the other wineries in the hill country.

The owner, Gil, was on hand to lead us through a flight of wines (I believe it was $5 for 5 tastings) and he effortlessly charmed us through the entire selection. He's obviously very proud of the work they do at Pillar Bluff, and deservedly so. Of particular note are a very fruity Chenin Blanc and Ruby Port. But the standout is a sweet and crisp Reisling - one of a very few wineries in Hill Country to offer one, and it's excellent! Definitely add this winery to your list if you're willing head off the beaten track between Dripping Springs and Fredericksburg.

It was great getting back out to the Perissos estate this weekend. Since our initial visit, the…read morewinemaking team has clearly refined their aging process, and the culinary side is firing on all cylinders. I sampled the Bruschetta. The healthy portion of Burrata cheese, the acidity in the balsamic glaze and tomatoes creates a seamless match with the Sangiovese, enhancing the wine's red fruit characteristics without washing out the palate. For this trip, I also tasted the 2023 Meritage, a dark, complex blend anchored by Texas grown grapes including Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon balanced with Cabernet Franc. Offers layered aromas of cassis, graphite, baking spices and grounded by structured, firm tannins. My previous review included the feedback that prices were incredibly high. Now, the prices of everything else has caught up. Good job Team Perissos. The hospitality of the staff is why we moved to Texas in the 80s. I'm well traveled and I can tell you, Texas hospitality is beyond compare.

I came here with some family so we had a party of eight, we had plenty of room at a large table inside. There are indeed mules on site in case anyone was wondering. You may not get to see them depending on weather and their moods. The staff are all friendly and helpful. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, we stayed inside to get away from the July in Texas heat. The food is good. Just some solid snacks to go with your wine samples. Get a pizza or some dips, skip the cheese boards. Also, skip the premixed espresso martini. The flights are a great way to try a lot of drinks. The brewery nearby also has beer flights which was an interesting experience since I picked a bunch of random ones. Maybe curate yours a bit better than I did.

While…read morethey don't have their own in-house wines, they have a variety of "exclusive" wines that tastes amazing. I love that they offer 5 tastings for $15. Unlike other places, they limit you to 3 tasting. Chris was amazing! Very knowledgeable of each wine and great recommendations. I'm more of a sweet wine kind of gal but walked away with a glass of dry wine, how is that?! Thank you, Chris! The inside is small and intimate but they also have a covered patio with a beautiful open yard to sit in peace and enjoy. If you're not up for the outdoors, they also have an air conditioned wine lounge with games, music, and tv. If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and drop in! Exit 292, not too far off the expressway.
