First time to visit at their new location in Johnson City. We enjoyed their sangria. The Mezza Board was a feast for the senses; the Juliette feta dip was rich and flavorful and the hummus tasted freshly made. My wife loved the citrus marinated olives. Good service without the pretentiousness of a winery tasting room. read more

A gem in downtown Johnson City! We stopped by their new location and were impressed from start to finish. The hours are convenient, the space is welcoming, and the food is exceptional. 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. read more

Let me start by saying that we stumbled upon this place. We were on our way out of town and decided to stop for lunch. What a happy happenstance! We ordered a Greek salad and a Morty sandwich. We were so surprised we could order delicious wine along with our food. As a bonus, we met the owner, Daniel, who was not only kind but extremely knowledgeable of all things wine. What a warm, hospitable place! The food was delicious and the portions were so generous we couldn't finish our lunch. Needless to say we will be coming by every time we are even remotely close. It is delicious and definitely worth the drive. I only wish we had a place like this close to us. Truly, this place is amazing. You would be foolish to pass it up. It is a great place to have happy hour too! read more

Okay, let's get into it! Location- right off of 290 between Hye and Johnson City. I loved this location. They have an amazing patio area. It's really beautiful a great place. The inside is just as nice. They had some great trees forbus to park under for shade. Service- I came with a group on a wine tour they offered us gumbo that they had available. They were fairly nice as well. Packing / products- Taste- this was a bonus stop on our tour so I didn't have an opportunity to taste any wine but those with me really enjoyed the wines. Overall- This is definitely on my list for a revisit. This place was so chill and my speed. A great place to rent out for an event honestly! read more

Cozy winery tucked away. Dog friendly even though I didn't get to meet the resident winery dog. I got the cocktail sampler for $18 and it was a great deal. You practically get 4 drinks. My favorite is probably the white cattywampus (sangria) and my bf enjoyed the margarita. Their wine is unique here because they have them in steel canisters and tap it that way. I know I'm probably describing this wrong, so more reason to check it out! read more

This was an unplanned, spontaneous stop on my most recent visit to the Texas/290 Wine Trail. I was not disappointed. I've seen this place from the roadway for many years, but I thought it was more of a party place because it advertised how late they stay open. They may be a party place, but I was still impressed. While there, my friend and I were the only patrons. We had a nice visit with the server (who was the owner, maybe?). He was super nice and knowledgeable. We wound up eating lunch there and buying a few bottles. It's a different sort of place for sure, but our experience was nice. They also have resident dogs and cats that we got to hang with.

Vinovium is a real standout amongst the growing list of wineries and tasting rooms along 290. My wife and I have visited many of them since buying a house in the area over a year ago. What I love about Vinovium are all the great events they put on. From lounge takeovers, where winemakers give tastings of their wine, to stand-up comedy, to Trivia nights. The owner and staff are all super welcoming and so knowledgeable about wine. They've got a large selection of rotating wines on tap and you can get a bottle filled there to take home that can be brought back to reduce on waste, which is another plus in my book. We'd only visited a couple times before we were sold on joining their membership club. And since then we've enjoyed hanging out and feeling like we're part of the family. Trivia night was such a blast. And it's on the same night as their Prime rib dinner which was out of this world - check out my pictures. For a change of pace from your ordinary winery/wine bar, I highly recommend a visit. There's really no other place like this around here. read more

Super friendly server and great location. This is a fun winery that advertises a lot of events and offers "wine cocktails" which my wife really enjoyed. It is keg wine so it comes out of spouts on the wall and they fill a bottle for you if you buy one. This was different and I don't know enough about wine to know if it helps or not. I really liked the laid back feel. This doesn't have the pho-Tuscan Vegas facade that some of the bigger places have put up, but it is a fun lil hill country spot with a good sized deck, small indoor area and lots of shade to play corn hole or let kids run around. The wine was good - we shared a tasting which is what we usually do before buying a glass - each was a good sized pour and I thought they were going to charge us for two but good sized pour is just how they roll. Plan to return for sure! read more

I suggest the El Niño, it's similar to a Dark & Stormy. The Old fashioned one is good too. Did I mention they were open late?!?! On a final note, I have to say that the bartender Tori is amazing!

Not worth the stop. We came as part of a wine tour and this was our worst stop. They were rude to my friends who paid for drinks and bottles of wine (separate from what was offered with the tour) and would not allow them to sit with us because we came as part of the tour and the table was for "paying guests". Additionally food was withheld from our group, but they explained it was because they could make $15 a plate off of other guests. It was just a bit tacky to explain it that way and made us uncomfortable. On a more positive note, I thought a couple of wines were good, but given the competition in the area and the blatant price gouging, I would take my business elsewhere. read more

My parents loved their chicken fried steak and talked about it for a week seriously. Ha! Also, the peach cobbler is almost like if bread pudding and cobbler had a baby, and it's to die for! I would love to see some more vegetarian (or even vegan) options on the menu, though. We didn't know they had a shortened menu during the holidays, so I was bummed that they had taken the meatless burger option off the menu. I know that it is Johnson City, but with all the tourists, a good veg option would be really appreciated. I did have a delicious tomato soup, though. They have great drinks, too, and they had a few fun ones for the holidays. I will definitely return here with the fam when we are back in town.

Let me first say I wish this establishment well, and hope they have success in their endeavors…read more I was in centex to visit daughter, and suggested a bbq tour of the small towns west of Aus. We arrived at P&C mid afternoon on a Monday. We were touring this and other towns, so only ordered the pulled pork sandwich, side of mac n cheese and side of mashed potatoes w gravy between the two of us. And some extra bbq sauce on the side. The pulled pork sandw comes premade with what looks to be homemade pickles, smoked pulled pork, coleslaw, & bbq sauce. The presentation is fairly impressive. Unfortunately, the taste did not measure up. We had bites of the sandwich as a whole, and also tasted the individual ingred by themself to get a feel for what contributed to the overall. The pulled pork was hit/miss. Some of it was generously smoked & that smokiness came through. Other bites of it the smoked flavor was not prominent. Mac n Cheese - solid. By far the best thing we tried. Super cheesy, flavorful. Nice work! Coleslaw - substandard. I'd say the C range. Pickles on the sandwich - they were thicker and appeared homemade. They didn't seem like they had been left to sit long enough on the shelf for the pickling to soak in. In appearance they were still very close to cucumbers instead of pickled cucumbers. Flavor wise they didn't taste like cukes, but nor did they add a dill-ish or sweet pickle flavor of substance. (Can see the pickles in attached pic, can see the color and texture doesn't look significantly pickled.) Sauce - extremely little flavor. The consistency was not watery, but you had to close your eyes and concentrate to taste what little flavor there was - as though it was watered down immensely. Sauce gets a D. Mashed potatoes & gravy. They served the gravy on the side. The potatoes themselves were good - a little buttery and therefore enjoyable. The consistency of the gravy was mealy - was unexpected, and odd. Lacked the common flavor of a hearty gravy begun with a roux of flour and meat drippings. (Zoom in on attached photo, you can see the mealy and almost-grainy texture of the gravy.) Overall we weren't impressed. The mac n cheese being the best thing is not what you expect at a bbq place. Like I said, we wish the establishment well. But we wouldn't come back when in Johnson City. Final note, the hostess/server was genuinely warm and friendly. She was wearing multiple hats, running around, but was pleasant and engaging.

I'd been wanting to try this place for months. After finally going on a Friday night, I can…read moreconfidently say it was a complete waste of time--and one of the most frustrating dining experiences I've had in a long time. Let's start with the cashier. A high school-aged guy who couldn't have made it clearer that helping customers--especially disabled ones--was beneath him (I'm using my residual vision to see you, Mr. Curly Blond Boy). My friend and I are both visually impaired, so we asked a few simple, reasonable questions about the menu since we couldn't read the board. Instead of answering, he repeatedly pointed at it like that magically made it visible to us. We explained. We asked again. He still refused to actually help. This wasn't just bad service--it was an outright failure to provide even the most basic level of accessibility or human decency. Ordering turned into a ridiculous guessing game. Items were out, but instead of clearly communicating that, he made us drag the information out of him piece by piece. At one point, when we asked for mac and cheese and greens, he said, "We don't have that," and just... stopped. No clarification. No effort. We were left to guess which item he meant. That's not quirky or busy--that's lazy and dismissive. The food didn't come close to making up for it. The sausage and turkey were fine, though the sausage had jalapeño with zero warning--apparently transparency isn't a thing here. The brisket was so dry it was essentially inedible. The mac and cheese had decent flavor, but the pasta was cooked into complete mush and again the secret jalapeño zing was added. It's hard to overstate how unacceptable this experience was. When a business can't be bothered to answer basic questions or make even minimal accommodations for visually impaired customers, that's not just poor service--that's exclusionary. The place was not quirky, iconic, or appealing in any way. The decor was as generic as the food and service. It looks like they had a nice outdoor area, but we couldn't find a way out there to check it out. Apparently there was also a bar, but we didn't know it. We were given to cups to which we added water from the soda fountain. There are too many great BBQ spots out there to spend your time and money at one that treats accessibility like an inconvenience and customers like a burden. I won't be back.
