If they're in a busy time of the day, you can just roam around the shop and get different tastings from the sample boxes. But if you go when they're not busy, they deliver a whole experience! They have a room on the side where your party can sit, and they bring out plates of each sample you can try, along with explaining the backgrounds of each chocolate, and how they started as a company. Not only is it fascinating to hear about their history, but the chocolates are delicious too! They really experiment with different flavor profiles, and they do a really good spicy chocolate. I feel like a lot of people might come in to just try some free chocolate. But it's so hard to leave without making a purchase!

My husband and I went to LeRoy's Tex Mex BBQ for lunch while in the area. We parked, and walked to…read morethe restaurant. The parking lot isn't paved but we didn't have any issues. We walked around on the grounds and noticed that there is a separate patio and a bathroom with seating outside. The women's bathroom was clean. Now to the restaurant. We walked in the restaurant and it wasn't very big. You could see the menu on the wall, the ordering counter was close, the food pickup counter was next to the ordering counter, the seating was in the middle, and the bar at the other end. After walking in and checking out the menu we walked up to the ordering counter. The person that took our order was friendly and patient with me. I wanted the El Burger that was listed on the menu but I didn't notice that it's only available on Wednesdays. The person told me that so I checked the menu out again to see what burger I wanted. I decided on LeRoy's Smash Burger which comes with smashed brisket patties, pickles, bacon & onion jam. I ordered mine without cheese. It came with a choice of a side so my husband and I picked the potato salad to share. I also wanted to try the Smoked Pork Belly Menudo which substitutes the traditional tripe meat with smoked pork belly. This came with onions, cilantro, and chopped jalapenos that you could add if you wanted. My husband and I decided to share LeRoy's Nachos which has tortilla chips covered in beans, queso, avacado, pico, crema, salsa, BBQ sauce and jalapenos. These come with your choice of meat and we decided on brisket. My husband ordered one taco to try called Chancho La Panza which comes with pork belly, beans, cilantro, and queso fresco. The Food. LeRoy's Smash Burger was delicious. I liked the flavor of the meat and the jam. The potato salad had a mustard flavor to it which I didn't mind. The Nachos were tasty. The BBQ sauce in them gave them a hint of sweetness in the midst of all of the saltier ingredients. The Menudo was spicy. I wasn't expecting it to be so hot but it was tolerable. The smoked pork belly mixed in the soup was good. There was also a crunchy texture mixed in that added to the experience. I tried my husband's pork taco and it was delightful. There was so much flavor packed into a single taco. Overall the experience was positive. The restaurant was small but comfortable, the service was good and the food was fresh and delicious.

Although if I had to recommend you get any one thing, the peach cobbler with peach butter ice cream would be it. This thing changed me, it's so good.

This ended up being my favorite wine, not only of the whole tasting, but of the multiple vineyards we visited that day. We were brought to our tasting station which allowed for standing only and our guide was very knowledgable about the wines. I especially liked that he was purposefully reluctant to share the wine notes so that we could judge for ourselves (however, as someone who only tastes notes of wine and nothing else, it made it a little difficult). We ended up with a lineup of reds which was not what I expecting. Despite not being a huge fan of red wine, I still fully enjoyed myself and the wine that we tried. Our guide even gave us another tasting to try that was a off menu. I will be back and hopefully, I can try some more whites at that time! My biggest regret is not buying a bottle of the Mama Ruth. What in the world was I thinking?

We signed up for a tasting, and it completely possible that I just didn't know what that entailed, but it was far different from what I expected. Instead of being seated (or doing a standing tasting), we were given drink tickets and told to go outside for drinks. We were given a welcome wine to try with our tickets which I appreciated! When we got outside, we were met with long lines leading to what looked to be a bar with three staff members pouring wine. For the first pour, we were told a little bit about the wine but after that, no one bothered to tell us anything. In addition, the pours were very inconsistent. Some of them were barely more than two small sips while others were far more reasonable. We quickly discovered which staff member was willing to pour more and who he was willing to pour more for (not me lol). The wines themselves were fine but it was difficult to enjoy considering we had to keep getting up to get pours and the drink tickets felt a little like SXSW. We did very much appreciate that they offered actual food unlike many other places in the area!
