Wineries, Distilleries & Tasting Rooms in Austin
124 places
Wineries, distilleries and tasting rooms in Austin and the Hill Country, with what a flight costs, whether kids and dogs are welcome, and which ones make a full day trip.
Georgetown Winery
A tasting room right on the historic square where Texas-grown reds and sweet whites are poured by the flight, with live acoustic sets most weekends.
Salt Lick Cellars
The Roberts family's estate winery sits next door to the barbecue pit, pouring Tempranillo and Sangiovese from their own Driftwood vines while you wait for a table.
Treaty Oak Distilling
A 28-acre ranch with a whiskey distillery, an on-site smokehouse and cocktail bar under the oaks, where Ghost Hill bourbon and Waterloo gin are poured a few yards from the stills.
Dripping Springs Distilling
The Kelleher brothers' copper-pot distillery that put Dripping Springs on the spirits map, offering tours, tastings and a lawn full of Adirondack chairs.
Fall Creek Vineyards (Driftwood)
One of Texas' pioneering wineries opened this Driftwood tasting room near the Salt Lick, pouring Tempranillo and Sauvignon Blanc on a terrace over the vines.
Spicewood Vineyards
One of the Hill Country's original estate wineries pours Tempranillo, Sauvignon Blanc and a Bordeaux-style blend on a limestone terrace over its own 32 acres of vines.
The Austin Winery
Austin's only grape-to-glass urban winery ferments Texas fruit in a St. Elmo warehouse where flights, skin-contact whites and DJ nights feel more like a house party than a tasting room.
Still Austin Whiskey Co.
The city's first grain-to-glass whiskey distillery runs a 42-foot copper column still behind glass, pours bottled-in-bond bourbon at the bar, and packs the patio on weekends.
Fierce Whiskers Distillery
A design-forward distillery near McKinney Falls where a climate-controlled rickhouse lets you sip Texas Tight Cut bourbon and rye right next to the barrels aging them.
Texas Keeper Cider
A shady Manchaca farmstead pouring full-strength ciders pressed from fresh apples, with lawn games, food trucks and a tasting room that feels more Hill Country winery than taproom.
Revolution Spirits
Saturdays-only stillhouse off Fitzhugh Road where free portfolio tastings, a complimentary cocktail and a peek at the botanical macerations make this the friendliest distillery stop in the area.
Leanderthal Distilling
Leander's neighborhood craft distillery serves award-winning bourbon, gin and blue-agave liqueurs from a 21-and-up lounge where bring-your-own-food is encouraged and the patio stays lively.
Thirsty Mule Winery & Schitz Creek Distillery
Winery and distillery under one roof outside Liberty Hill, where fifteen bucks buys a four-wine flight, the weekend pizza kitchen fires up, and nobody needs a reservation.
Grape Creek on the Square
Grape Creek's downtown Georgetown outpost brings the Tuscan-in-Texas estate's flights to the courthouse square, an easy stop before dinner without the drive to Fredericksburg.
Duchman Family Winery
A Tuscan-style villa in Driftwood built around 100% Texas grapes, where Vermentino and Montepulciano flights on the loggia make it the most transporting winery within 30 minutes of town.
Bell Springs Winery & Brewery
Handcrafted wines, small-batch beers and a seriously good burger under the oaks in Dripping Springs, with seated guided tastings paired to charcuterie for anyone wanting the full experience.
Solaro Estate Vineyards & Winery
A hilltop estate off Silver Creek Road where estate-grown reds and a long limestone porch deliver sunset views that rival anything on the 290 corridor, twenty minutes from Austin.
Hawk's Shadow Winery
A family-run estate perched above the Pedernales valley whose panoramic hilltop tasting deck and Rhone-style reds reward the winding drive down McGregor Lane on Saturday afternoons.
Driftwood Estate Winery
Perched on a bluff above Onion Creek with sweeping Hill Country views, this 21-and-up winery and brewery pairs a $25 six-wine flight with a sunset porch worth the drive.
Wimberley Valley Winery
One of the Hill Country's oldest wineries, dating to 1983, now doubles as a laid-back weekend hangout with wood-fired pizza, Lone Man Mountain beers and live bands under the oaks.
Stone House Vineyard
A lakeside stone winery on Lake Travis where the Norton-based Claros red and a chef's pairing experience on the terrace make it the most romantic tasting in the Spicewood hills.
Iron Wolf Ranch & Distillery
Fifteen acres of Spicewood ranchland where handcrafted whiskey and rum cocktails come with cornhole, live bands and a Friday-Saturday-only schedule that keeps it feeling like a locals' secret.
Garrison Brothers Distillery
Texas's first legal bourbon distillery rides you by Jeep across a 68-acre Hye ranch to the show barn, where Hill Country heat ages some of the boldest bourbon in America.
William Chris Vineyards
The benchmark for serious Texas wine, this Hye estate ferments low-intervention Mourvedre and Pétillant Naturel in a restored 1905 farmhouse setting that rewards booking ahead.
Lewis Wines
A winemaker-driven Johnson City stop where Touriga Nacional and Tinta Cão grown on the estate prove Portuguese grapes belong in Texas, poured without fuss in a barn overlooking the vines.
K Estate (formerly Kuhlman Cellars)
The rebranded Kuhlman Cellars still pairs every flight with chef-made bites on a Stonewall patio with vineyard views, making it the 290 corridor's easiest food-and-wine lesson.
Pedernales Cellars
A sixth-generation Texas family's hilltop winery outside Stonewall, where the Viognier and Tempranillo Reserve get poured on a wide deck above the Pedernales valley.
Becker Vineyards
A lavender-fringed stone barn that has anchored Fredericksburg wine since 1992, with 300-plus gold medals, walk-in tastings and a reserve library room worth the upgrade.
Grape Creek Vineyards
The Tuscany-in-Texas estate on 290 runs tram tours through the barrel room, a trattoria on the patio and enough Bellissimo to explain why the parking lot fills by noon.
Signor Vineyards
A 200-acre estate with a French-farmhouse tasting hall, manicured gardens and a lineup that jumps between Texas reds and the family's Oregon vineyards, walk-ins welcome.
