Even with that, the bartender took good care of us as we had to sit outside. I normally like sitting outside, but this area seems like an afterthought and like you're not part of the party. They came and got us when there was space inside, so we still had a fantastic time. When it cleared out, it really cleared out! We started with a sampler and loved all of them. My friend is a member and by the end of our time there, I joined also! All the wines were so delicious. Also, the owner was walking around greeting everyone...I always like that, as it makes you feel valued.

The tables, vibe, personnel etc. are all wonderful. Everything about it is really great, except... As they are quick to point out, to the extreme of even having almost a "doorman" at the door to let you know before even entering: There's no grapes in this place, nor any wines made from grapes. It's all made from flowers and nectar. This company didn't invent this technique, but while they seem to do a good job at it, the wines, and I tried three different ones, just aren't my thing. The best one was a peach flavored one being served in a hot beverage on a chilly evening, which was nice, but had a lot of sugar in it, more of a hot toddy. Glasses of "straight up" wine on a subsequent visit just didn't do it for me. Bottom line, if you've got an open mind, definitely try this place. I'm glad I did, and again, it's a great place to meet up and relax, with a great atmosphere. Maybe the wines will appeal to you more than they did to me.

Even though we understood the cancellation policy, we reached out to Richard just hours before departure. He was incredibly understanding and gracious enough to provide us with a credit to use toward a future tour. That level of customer service and kindness truly stood out to us. I also spoke with several of the women who were able to attend, and they had nothing but rave reviews about the experience. I was definitely disappointed to miss it, but I'm very much looking forward to rebooking and taking advantage of the credit we were given!

Our drive Vic was very professional and explained how the day would go before we took off. We stopped at two wineries, with a delicious Italian meal served at the second one. Everyone in my group had a great time. Vic always gave us the times we needed to be ready to go so we were always well informed. He also gave us the option of another winery or an hour or so in Fredericksburg. We choose to do a little browsing in Fredericksburg. Even though it was very hot, we enjoyed our time there. It did take some doing to get this make-up trip scheduled. The Winos are not the best at communicating. But they vowed to double my paid tickets to make up for the mishap from months ago and they kept their word.

***Update: The company did reach out and refund the extra hour which I appreciate. Although I was…read moreasked to delete my review, which I will not be doing. First off, let me start by saying our driver Nate, was an absolute doll. He was the only good part about the experience with this company. The company is called San Antonio Wine Tours, their website says they are based out of SA and pickup in SA. When booking a half day tour, their website says there is only enough time to go to dripping springs. So I booked dripping springs and requested and additional hour to have lunch. Upon calling to update my reservation I was told the extra hour I purchased would go towards travel time. TBF dripping springs is 1.5 hours from my home and they said ppl usually spend 45min-1hr at the wineries. That being said, why does the basic half day package say there's enough time to go to dripping springs only, which I chose, yet my additional hour has to be used for travel. It didn't quite add up. So I explained this to them and was given the response "oh, I guess the website needs to be corrected". Also, they just asked "do you want to cancel?" No attempting to right their wrong. I soon realized it's probably bc the deposit I put down was non refundable so they probably didn't care bc they already had some of my money. I was told that apparently they have been pulling this since they started 2 years ago and the website was supposed to have been "corrected" many times before this. So buyer beware, this company practices dishonest and what I feel is shady business. They also seem to not care about if the customer is upset and only about the money that can get.

My husband and I really enjoyed a rosé that the Pearl featured, that she stated she also sells. On July 26th, I visited the tasting room, she didn't have the wine in stock but assured me she could preorder it and that it would arrive in two weeks. It's now been over a month. I've called and texted multiple times and received inconsistent and delayed responses. I still have not received the wine or a refund. Based on this experience, I no longer trust this business and would advise others to be cautious before purchasing from them.

My friend and I bought the San Antonio Explorer Pass from Groupon at $84, which included one…read morepremium attraction and two nonpremium attractions; one of the premium attractions was the LBJ Ranch tour. The tour is operated by Gray Line Tours bus service so this review is for that only, not of the Explorer Pass and not of Groupon. We really enjoyed the tour! I wouldn't say it's worth $109, but a Google search will yield you lots of partners selling the tour tickets at a discounted rate. Regarding booking, we tried to call the toll-free number on a Sunday for a Monday tour (need to reserve at least 24 hours ahead), but the office was closed. However, the automated message directed us to a cell phone number to call to reach someone directly for booking. My friend texted that number--omitted here for privacy but obtainable by calling the Gray Lines Tours number--and received a response within 5 minutes, if that. I also called a different number and left a voicemail message just in case, and I was called back within an hour or so and also texted. I really appreciate the effort on the booking agent's part! Once we were in touch, we provided our San Antonio Explorer Pass voucher numbers over the phone and were told that pickup from our hotel would be at 8:30-8:45 am. We made sure to be downstairs, ready, and visible from the street. The bus arrive within that allocated time. The bus driver called out my friend's name and we boarded. There were a bunch of others already picked up, and we picked up a few others along the way. We made a pit stop for bathroom and food about an hour in. The bus driver was super friendly, passionate about his job, and accommodating of passengers' requests. He gave us a lengthy and useful history of the major landmarks, the towns we passed, the important people and what made them significant, and of course much information about LBJ and his wife, Lady Bird. We stopped by the Boyhood Home of LBJ, the Texas White House on the LBJ Ranch, and saw many animals including longhorns up close and personal. We also got to check out the Air Force One-Half, the plane in which LBJ flew. We stopped by Fredericksburg TX for 2 hours to enjoy Main Street and have lunch. The pickup spot was easy to find. It's a huge bus after all! We also stopped by Luckenbach, a small centralized area of land in a town with a history of music and German migrants. We opted not to stop at the optional winery based on another majority vote. We were driven back right near where we were picked up and were back to our hotel around 6pm.

No vehicle ever came, and I received no call, message, or explanation from the company. A complete no-show with zero communication. I was left stranded with no time to arrange an alternative tour, and as an overseas visitor I couldn't rebook for another day. I emailed and called the company multiple times and have yet to hear back. Other online reviews reveal the same behaviour. Disappointing and unprofessional. If you're relying on this tour as part of a fixed itinerary, be aware it may not turn up.
