Don't miss the Morty D -- served on thin, flaky focaccia, it's one of the best sandwiches we've had in the Hill Country. We also tried the Cab Franc, which was smooth, well-balanced, and a perfect pairing for a relaxed afternoon. The staff, including the owner, made us feel right at home. Friendly, passionate, and clearly committed to creating something special. This spot is a must-visit for anyone looking for a truly local wine and food experience in the Hill Country.

I'm a sucker for rosé, so I ordered a glass and it ended up being one of the best I've had from a Texas winery. The person behind the bar took the time to share the winery's backstory, which I always appreciate, and even let me pick out a record to play while I enjoyed my wine. The whole experience felt laid-back, personal and genuinely relaxing. I'll definitely be back and next time, I'm leaving with a bottle of that rosé.

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.

We did as instructed but only received an automated message. After no response back after 2 hours, we just stopped by the winery. Apparently, the wine tasting room staff knew nothing about the reservation/messaging system. The system is probably used more so to the resort and/or restaurant on property. My husband opted for the semi-sweet/sweet wine tasting selection and I opted for the reserved white/red combo. We enjoyed our wines as we chatted with the staff. All the wines were delicious.

Upon entry it is very esentric with colors and the decor. They have a huge outdoor patio over looking the trees and landscape for you to enjoy your wine from. We did a wine tasting there to see what they have. I did an all red tasting and my wife did a mix of red, white, and semi sweet. The employees were very friendly and prompt. I enjoyed my red tasting for the experience. I do find that they do not have many full bodies wines Was a good experience but not for my palate!

Overall, I really enjoyed our experience at William Chris and had a wonderful time! We were greeted…read morewith a welcome wine (Mary Ruth) which is one of the flagship whites. 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?

It does get very busy though, so plan accordingly. Rather large grounds with multiple tasting rooms and an outdoor seating area where live music is played. The wine was pretty good; I'm not a big red drinker, but I got the appeal. My husband (who did enjoy red) really enjoyed the wine. A few friends had a tasting here as well and enjoyed it. Overall, a nice place, with a simple tasting menu for many to enjoy.

I had their blood orange martini cocktail and it was great. I wish it was a little more tart, but good overall! The vibes are very cute and I'm sure the patio would be great during the day. The bartender was super friendly and was super sweet when we asked her to grab a pic of us! I think it would be a good spot for a cheese plate and a glass of wine and I would go more in that direction when dining here!
