We visit the Texas Hill Country about once a year. Texas Hills is always one of our stops. Their wines are reasonably priced, the tasting fees are waived with purchases, and their quality is consistently excellent. We're surprised at other reviews regarding the owner's customer service... always professional and friendly when we are there. When we visited yesterday we drove in and turned around, however... a bus tour overfilled the small tasting area. So, on the way back to Austin we stopped by and it was worth it. Kick butt Cab is always a fine choice.

Love the wines. Great staff. Fun events. Happy our friends are "members". Makes for a fun day!!It's a day trip to visit but worth it!!!

This is a high volume low quality winery. Yes they use TX grapes but their wines are avg to poor. Several I tasted had off putting noses. The server had no knowledge of what she was pouring. Even though there was only one other couple in the tasting room the service was very so so. Some gentleman from the winery (the wine maker?) was in the tasting room and was telling the other couple how they don't bother with barrels.... I could go on but you get the picture. Save your time and palate and visit some of the quality wineries in the area.

We stopped by yesterday as part of a tour group. While I didn't mind the 30 minute delay (we were tardy so I thought them making us wait was alright, it was a nice day out and we took a walk) - what I did find offensive was :1. Lady behind the counter lecturing members of the group on tardiness (as a group of 30 people, we have no control over this)2. they didn't (or refused to) unlock the restrooms for the group for a long time so there was a queue of 7+ people for a single stall3. the owner's non-apology (along the lines of "sorry we made you wait for a half hour, we had to take care of the group that was actually on time") - I didn't mind waiting at all but his comment really rubbed me the wrong way. I've never encountered this kind of passive aggressiveness from a service oriented business. It was pretty rude.As for the wine - being "one of the largest producers in Texas" doesn't make you one of the best. I would recommend their Cabernet. Their Syrah was dismal. Overall, in comparison with the other wineries we visited (Duchman and Bell Springs were both friendly and had tasty wine to boot) - this wasn't any better or worse wine-wise, but the service really turned us off.

This was a repeat visit and as usual, we enjoyed ourselves. We tried 5 wines for $5 (port was included if you so chose) and the tasting fee was waived with a one bottle purchase. No problem there as we bought 9 bottles. They have a wide variety of wines and they are ALL produced using Texas fruit. I wish the reds were kept a little cooler and closer to cellar temp, but all in all a great place to taste and something for everyone.

My husband and I each tasted 5 different wines and I personally found the reds to be much too dry, but the Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc were delightful. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. It makes an interesting little side trip.

Ivan Knapp was our server and he demonstrated a passion for the winery. He provided facts about the winery as we tasted the 5 samples we selected. I thought the Merlot had a smooth taste. We were also given recommendations for eating establishments in Fredericksburg. Another staff member called another winery to schedule an appointment for us. Positive experience for our first winery visit on a road trip to Oregon.

Intimate winery on beautiful grounds. Our hostess/server was very knowledgeable and friendly, and the wines were a delight. Charming gift shop, too. So many wineries to choose from in this area - we recommend this one!

One can sample five different wines for $5.00. Tasting fee is refunded if you make a wine purchase. They have an excellent selection of wines to sample. Found this winery to be very personable and customer friendly. The gentleman serving wine, Ivan, was able to narrow down the type of wine I would enjoy from the samples he provided. Highly recommend this winery and will go back here again to sample and purchase their wines.

This is a true Texas winemaker, using his own and other Texas-grown grapes. This place is out in the country, down a Ranch Road out of Johnson City (not very big in it's own way), and up a small road. They grow their own grapes, including Cabernet, Merlot, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Sangiovese, and many others. Not only are the wines good, but this is a reason I visit the person who makes my wine. I want to know where the fruit comes from, how it is harvested, what do they do to produce the wine, and how is it bottled? You can ask questions here and get great answers, a tour of the vineyard, and a look at the grapes. If you want to know more about the process, get to know the vineyard and the winemaker better, email them or sign up. They take volunteers for harvest (which happens in late July, August, possibly even September), which is not only great exercise, but a good learning experience. Nothing like following it from grape on the vine to wine in the bottle.A lovely place to visit, even in a Texas summer. Sit on the porch, have a glass of wine, and enjoy the views over the vineyard.
