Way To Go Jax - We enjoyed this tour with Jax Washington as our guide. She is very friendly, funny. Accommodating and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the wine tasting at Fall Creek and Duchman. The Salt Lick BBQ was good but too salty for my taste. The van we rode in was comfortable and cool with this Texas heat!

Fun Day Wine Tasting! - Very fun day seeing the hill country and tasting local wines with Italian varietals. Jax, our guide was very outgoing and knowledgeable and made the day great! Her hospitality was outstanding as was her recommendations for local live music! The BBQ was good too! We rode in style in a comfortable Mercedes Sprinter van which was great for our group.

Girls trip - David our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and flexible with the group throughout the day. We enjoyed his hospitality! The BBQ was very unique. The two wine stops were beautiful locations with delicious wine options, and other drinks as well if you didn’t want wine. We were told early May was the perfect time to take the tour before it gets to hot. We Recommend going!

Nice time! - Earlier this year I did a wine tour with a different company, and it was not a great experience, so I was hesitant to try a new company. I went on the barbecue and wine tour and it was quite nice! The wine pours were a decent size, and lots of different options to try. I enjoyed both tasting rooms we visited. I finally went to the Salt Lick (after having lived here for 2 years). 😬 it was good to check it off the list but I think I’m just not a huge barbecue person (too heavy for me). Brent was a great guide! I look forward to trying the half day wine trip next time with Austin Detours.

It was a great afternoon... - It was a great afternoon in hill country. I would switch the order of activities and have lunch in between the two winery tastings. Rich was a great guide!
