We came as part of a larger tour across multiple Driftwood area wineries with reservations for their tastings. They have a set tasting menu and a staff member will guide you through each of the pours with explanations of the flavor profiles. On our last visit it was a mix of whites, reds and a sweet wine at the end. The pours are generous and all their wines have tasted great. You can order some snacks like a charcuterie plate on the side. The space is beautiful and I've heard they have a venue on the estate for hosting parties or weddings. They have a beautiful outdoor garden that makes for gorgeous photos or relaxing outside. Check this spot out on your next Austin area winery tour!

The winery is lovely. The people are really nice. We showed up for our wine tasting appointment and…read morewas told they did not have it, in fact had no tastings at that time. Luckily my sister had the reservation email to show them because the girl just kept repeating the same thing until someone senior came by to help us. The wine was tasty but the tasting itself was only moderately enjoyable. The main reason was the tasting was 30-40 minutes long and we just had to stand at a counter. We couldn't order food at the counter either. We are used to tastings being at a table where we do the tasting, order bottles we enjoyed while noshing on food from the menu. Standing for 40 minutes at a counter was not expected or enjoyable. One of our family members has a disability and is unable to stand that long so he and my husband sat outside while the ladies did the wine tasting inside at the counter. It was really disappointing as the expectation was a nice afternoon at the winery with the group and it ended up being two separate groups and standing the whole time at a counter wasn't enjoyable. The wine was good. We brought two bottles home. The experience left a lot to be desired.

He was very knowledgeable about all-things Hawk's Shadow wine and wine in general. We felt taken care of and were truly immersed in their beautiful Hill Country experience. Could not recommend more! Fantastic staff, fantastic wine, fantastic venue :)

THE BLACK AND WHITE: We came here on a Sunday afternoon and the place was relatively quiet, which is nice. There is indoor and outdoor seating and if you sit indoors, you can peer and walk down into their limestone cellar! It does smell pretty musty down there so be warned. We got a tasting and Matt curated the wines. We got 2 whites, a rose and a red. Also a bonus pour. The wines were alright, my favorite was the mourvede. Bathroom had a baby changing station which is always nice! THE FINAL BAMBOO: A wine tasting here was around $15 for 4 tastings. Very pretty view and each wine had a good story behind it.

We got there and it was a little late for them with a reserved party already seated, but they acted like it was no problem at all and we were delighted that we could do a tasting and enjoy the view outside, admiring the beautiful grounds in between going to the bar for another wine to taste. We fell in love with the Lone Star Cab and got a case while it was on sale and then decided to join the wine club with a purchase of the smooth and delicious Alamo Red. We are ready to go back with a new set of friends and try some others!

Also, Google says it's "good for kids," but they don't allow anyone under 21 here. They're STRONGLY against kids. What made our most recent experience especially uncomfortable was an employee explaining that kids aren't allowed because, according to her, adults seem to choose drinking wine over taking care of their babies. She even mentioned having to call CPS in the past. The comments felt unnecessary, judgmental, and offensive, and made us extremely uncomfortable. There are ways to communicate an adults-only policy without making assumptions or comments about parents and their ability to care for their children.

We sat outside under the wooden canapy patio. A cool breeze permeated throughout the patio. The wind was gently blowing and branches on the oak trees swayed back and forth. So peaceful...there were a number of family and friends groups chatting it up. My friend ordered a pizza and I got hamburger and fries. We were pleased with our meals. It was self-pickup. There is a pick-up window in the center of the building. No table service. Although it is a distillery, the standout is the family orientation and focus on connection. The back yard is huge with yard games. There were about 20 children playing in the yard.
