About

Love wine but don’t want to pay high prices for a private wine tour? This is the one for you! Our Austin/Hill Country Wine Shuttle takes you on a journey to see the beautiful variety Austin has to offer, both geographically and of course, in our amazing wine.

Ride comfortably in our luxury Mercedes Sprinter van with a knowledgeable and friendly local guide. Cruise through the scenic Texas Hill Country and stop at two (2) different award-winning wineries for tastings, then finish up back in Austin proper at your final winery in the St. Elmo Arts District. We’ll take care of the reservations at the wineries, you take care of the tastings. We can lead you to our wineries, but we can't make you drink. Tastings at any of our wineries is completely optional but highly recommended. Please note that each tasting costs $20-25 plus tax/gratuity (paid directly at the wineries).
