Sip your way through Hill Country with a guided shuttle from Austin
4.5 Hours
Guide, Transportation
Ride in a luxury Mercedes Sprinter van with a local guide as you explore Texas Hill Country wineries, then wrap up at a final stop back in Austin. You get the reservations—tastings are up to you and paid at each winery.
You must be 21+ to join. Drinks, alcohol, and food are not included. Tastings cost $20–25 plus tax and gratuity (paid directly at the wineries).
Cancel at least 24 hours prior to the start time to receive a full refund. No-shows and cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance will not be refunded.
Plan to pay tasting fees directly at each winery, plus tax and gratuity. The listed tasting range is $17–20 each in the booking notes and $20–25 in the description.
Yes. You can bring your own drinks on the van, but avoid bringing glass.
No. Drinks/alcohol and food are not included. Charcuterie boards and snacks are available for purchase at the wineries, and there is a food truck at the second stop.
The guides absolutely make these tours special. David, Trace, Connor, Joey, and Luke all get enthusiastic shoutouts for being knowledgeable, funny, and going beyond basic tour guide duties. They remember to accommodate motion sickness, suggest taco spots you'd never find on your own, and somehow know what you need before you ask. People mention feeling welcomed and comfortable right away, which isn't always easy when you're stuffed in a van with strangers. The tours themselves hit the highlights efficiently. You'll cover a lot of Austin ground in just a couple hours, with stops at places like the Capitol and street murals where you actually get out to explore. The wine and BBQ tours seem particularly popular, hitting spots like Salt Lick, Driftwood Estate Winery, and Duchman. The vans are clean and air-conditioned, which matters when you're touring Texas. Groups stay manageable at around 10 people, striking that sweet spot where it feels social but not chaotic. The consistent five-star feedback and repeat mentions of specific guides suggest this outfit delivers reliably good experiences.
Joel was an excellent guide, and the van was comfortable and cool. I've lived in Texas all my life, and have visited Austin numerous times, and I still learned a lot.
