Pick the Right Wineries
Start by deciding how far you want to go. You’ll find excellent wineries in and around Austin, including:
- Driftwood Estate Winery in Driftwood, TX – Just 30 minutes southwest of Austin, this scenic hilltop winery offers stunning views and rich Texas wines.
- Duchman Family Winery – Also in Driftwood, this spot is known for its Italian-style wines and peaceful surroundings.
- Fall Creek Vineyards (Driftwood) – A well-known name in Texas wine with a great tasting room.
- Spicewood Vineyards – Located a bit farther out, this is ideal if you’re looking for a full-day experience.
Aim for 2–4 wineries in a day, depending on how long you want to spend at each location.

Plan Your Tastings
Most wineries offer tasting flights for a small fee, usually ranging from $10–$25. Some also offer guided tastings with staff who can walk you through each wine. If you’re visiting with a group, call ahead to book a tasting time—especially on weekends.
Bring water, wear sunscreen, and don’t forget to eat! Many wineries offer light bites, or you can pack your own snacks for the road.
