4Really enjoyed the tour....
Really enjoyed the tour. A nice sized group with some great tastings in 3 locations. My only feedback is that the tour felt rushed. I think extending it by 30 mins or so would make it more enjoyable
5A Tour That Won't Disappoint
This tour was amazing. Joel did a wonderful job giving the group local facts. He was very engaging and even remeber everyone's name and where we all were from! He was personable and made everyone feel welcomed! Hill Country did not disappoint. Each vineyard had breathtaking views and wonderful areas to take memorable photos. Would definitely visit again!
5Great wine tour experience
We had a great time on our wine tour. Joey was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. He also gave us suggestions for what to do in Austin while we were here.
5Ike Made This BBQ & Wine Tour Unforgettable!
I had a fantastic time on the Hill Country BBQ & Wine Shuttle with Austin Detours, and Ike was an exceptional guide. I also took The Real Austin City Tour with Ike, so I had the opportunity to experience his wonderful guiding style on both tours. What really stood out on the wine tour was how Ike created such a fun atmosphere for the entire group. He encouraged everyone to share stories, sing songs, and interact with one another, which made the day so much more than just a tour. It was easy to connect with everyone, and I actually made new friends along the way. Having the group sit together for BBQ made it even more fun and gave us a chance to get to know each other. The wineries were wonderful, with incredible views and amazing wines. It was such a beautiful and enjoyable experience. Ike was knowledgeable, friendly, engaging, and genuinely interested in making sure everyone was having a great time. He really brought the group together and made the entire experience feel special. I highly recommend the Hill Country BBQ & Wine Shuttle with Austin Detours. And if you get Ike as your guide, you’re in for an especially great day! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
5Great Day!!
Great trip! Our guide Joey was excellent and gave us all kinds of information about Ausyin, what to do and where to eat. He also had history of the 3 Wineries we attended. We like the Fall Creek Winery best, the wine was better and they gave you discounts when you purchased their wines on the tastings. For parking at the Visitor Center you can get free parking at a couple of garages, just call and ask.
5Best Birthday Ever!

About Austin
Austin is the capital of Texas on the Colorado River, a hill-country city known for live music, a spring-fed pool, bats at dusk and Texas barbecue.
Austin lies on the Colorado River where the Texas Hill Country begins, with the long Lady Bird Lake running through the centre. The State Capitol, built of pink granite in 1888, is taller than the national Capitol in Washington, and Congress Avenue runs from it down to the river. Austin calls itself the Live Music Capital of the World, and Sixth Street and many small venues keep up the claim.
Top-ranked sights in Austin: 6th Street , Congress Avenue Bridge (South Congress Bridge), Texas Capitol.
