Must-Do Experience! - We booked the Hill Country Aficionado tour with Cottonwood Wine Tours and it was phenomenal! The three winery stops were the perfect amount. we had plenty of time to enjoy each location without feeling rushed. Diane, our tour guide, was fantastic. She knew so much about the area and the wineries, and even gave us great lunch recommendations during our two-hour Fredericksburg stop (which turned out to be spot on!). You can truly tell that this family loves what they do. their passion and care come through in every detail. The wineries they partner with clearly respect and value them, which made the whole experience feel even more special. If you’re looking for a relaxed, well-curated Hill Country wine experience, this is it!

Fun, laughter and family - “My family had a blast on this tour and we experienced some fantastic wineries that we would not have found otherwise. Diana is one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. At every winery we were made to feel like VIPs, receiving fabulous service and information – really getting a feel for each wineries’ personality, brand, and values. This tour is totally worthy.

Excellent wine tour - I had the most wonderful wine tour with Matthew, who was very knowledgeable about the wine-making process and Texas Hill Country. He brought me to 3 wineries (Sister Creek, Hilmy & Bingham), where I tasted almost 20 different wines. Matthew was attentive to details - he had a cooler in his van to store the guest's purchased bottles of wine and protect them from the hot weather, and would adjust the sequence for Fredericksburg (where lunch is) based the guest's breakfast situation. The tour itinerary also seems well thought through and balanced in its curation (e.g. 2 hrs in Fredericksburg was just nice for lunch and light shopping). I would highly recommend Cottonwood Wine Tours.

Unexpectedly Private Wine Tour Was Terrific - We had a wonderful time despite the chilly weather. Loved the three wineries we went to, including the Texas Wine Collective, which also offered cider options. All three had different vibes/styles and knowledgeable operators. Our driver/guide was wonderful and the wines were all very good. Highly recommend.

Best Wine Tasting Tour! - This was an outstanding experience! Matt was a great guide - very flexible, informative, and friendly! We learned a lot about the wine making process and enjoyed all if the wineries we visited. It was especially awesome that Matt tailored our stop to our personal wine preferences.

great trip with great friends - We did this tour with Diane from Cottonwood tours. She is very knowledgeable about the vineyards we visited. The tour was more than sipping wine. We learned about the processing, packaging, and what grapes were grown here. already generations of families at certain wineries. she was a great tour guide about san antonio and the Fredericksburg areas. we had plenty of time at each stop. lunch was great. Would recommend this tour with 5 stars.

Private wine tour - The good thing about going on a Thursday is, we had our own private wine tour. First winery was very old and rustic, not really our speed but most of the wines were good. The second place was beautiful, very modern which is what we prefer. Then we stopped in Fredericksburg for lunch. In my opinion is was way too hot to be walking around the town. Plus the tour drops you off away from the center of town so you need to walk a block or so to get to the restaurants and shopping. The last winery was interesting very modern but they have a rhino on site. Diana our driver/tour guide was great. When booking the itinerary states you receive cheese, crackers & water, but you actually get a snack sleeve of Ritz, a chocolate bar (which was great pairing with our red wine tastings) and water. Overall this was a great day with my husband but if I’m booking a wine tour I really don’t want to be walking around in the heat for 2 hours, again just my opinion.
