Really enjoyed this winery in JC! Something to keep in mind…read moreis that there is not an extensive amount of indoor seating, plus the outside patio is so nice, so I would highly recommend going on a nice weather day.

We just had the most amazing, fun, educational visit at Lost Draw Vineyards. We took our friends…read morefrom Boston there for an afternoon of delicious Texas wines and were blown away by the service, hospitality, and great tasting wines. Mark, the Tasting Room Mgr. and our Tour Room/Vineyard Captain, Micah, were so accommodating, generous, and just overall awesome.

We stopped by Crowson for a wine tasting when we were in Fredericksburg earlier this month, and it…read morewas such a special experience. Mr. Crowson (the father of Henry Crowson - the owner and winemaker, who might be a co-owner but is definitely very involved at the winery) welcome us in for a wine tasting. Since we were the only people there, it ended up being a very private, personal experience! Mr. Crowson tried the wines with us and talked to us about each. He also told us about the Crowson's non-interventionist approach to winemaking. If you enjoy or are interested in natural wine, low/no intervention wine, orange wine, or any other term that's being used right now, Crowson should definitely be on your list for a day or weekend of wine tasting in the 290/Fredericksburg/Johnson City area! (I am a fan of the low/no intervention movement, and I knew I wanted to visit Crowson when we were in the area! It's the most natural/low-intervention of all wineries in the area that I am aware of!) The wines we tasted were interesting and delicious and varied (not a tasting where all the wines take remarkably similar). The space is charming, beautiful, and very comfortable, and Mr. Crowson played some great records during our visit which added even more fun to the experience! And of course, the customer service couldn't get better than a personal tasting with Mr. Crowson, who made this a very special visit. This is a smaller winery, so I recommend you reach out to them to schedule a visit, so you can be sure they are there and open. Because you don't want to a miss a visit to this very special winery.

What an amazing little winery!…read more We are visiting Austin for a month and wanted to do something fun for my boyfriends' birthday. Crowson came highly recommended from our friend who lives in Austin, so we made a reservation for 6 people on a Saturday for a wine tasting. They are taking Covid precautions, everything was socially distanced, our tasting was outside (and thankfully they had heaters so we were quite nice and warm), and everyone was wearing masks! The wine was absolutely delicious and we all loved the wine we had here. One of only two places in Texas that has natural wines (nothing added). This is a very cozy, homey, winery- they make you feel so welcome, are very gracious and just a fun time ! Henry and his dad were a delight. Highly recommend this place!

We came in a little before noon on a Saturday and there were few people. Plenty of indoor and…read moreoutdoor seating to choose from. There were people coming in frequently to pick up orders. We ordered the bread knots and mozzarella sticks as appetizers and they were sooooo good! Didn't last long. Our pizzas were delicious as well. We got the 12" pepperoni special $9.99 and their Bestia (supreme pizza) for $25 NY style. While they serve wine, it was sparse with selections and a bit limited. They are local TX wines which is a nice way to support and promote local wineries.

First visit and we were seriously impressed…read more The place was busy, and one girl was running the whole show by herself--taking orders, making food, keeping things moving--and she absolutely crushed it. Friendly, calm, and efficient the entire time. That alone deserves major credit. Now the food: the cheese bread was outstanding--perfectly baked, cheesy, and honestly could've been a meal on its own. We also tried a build-your-own Detroit-style pizza, and it was very good. Thick, crispy edges, great flavor, and clearly made with care. For a first visit, this place exceeded expectations. Great food and even better service. We'll definitely be back.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I came here as we were heading back to Austin but still wanting to try out some more wines. We ended up seeing Pebble Rock Cellars on the way and stopped in. Fortunately they were doing one last tasting and we managed to come in at the right time. Robert and Lydia are the couple that owns Pebble Rock and they have a great story from their origins to how Pebble Rock began. The wine tasting came with seven pours of all Texas grown and made wines. All were pretty good and Robert had great knowledge and history of the grapes in the region. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall a tasting was around $25, which was great and a good sendoff to a fun-packed day of wine tastings.

We were greeted by a staff member at the door as we were climbing the step and taken to the Speakeasy Tasting Room. I opted for the Red Wine Tasting and my husband opted for the Sweet White Tasting. Service and conversation were good. My husband loved his Sweet Whites. Unfortunately for me, the reds didn't meet my love for BIG BOLD Reds. The red wines were very light and the first 2 too tart for my liking. Everyone has their personal preference. It was definitely worth stopping. Tastings were normally $20 per person and we had purchased Wine Lovers Celebration passport for a couple at $100. If you haven't tried the Texas Wine Passport, it is worth the money.
