To taste Texas wines produced with 100% Texas grapes grown to succulent maturity, travel one hour northwest of Austin to Burnet to a wine lover’s paradise. White, rose, red, and fortified desert wines are available for your tasting by glass or by the bottle.
Several wine experiences are available, including conventional tastings, tour and tasting events, and farm-to-glass sensory experience events. The winery's tasting room is open Thursday through Sunday from 12-5 p.m. and requires no reservations in advance.

Texas wines are the highlight of weddings, receptions, and wine dinners at Spicewood Vineyards. And you can reserve a spot to hold your special event, or perhaps, a reunion, concert, or fundraiser event at the vineyard.
The real Lone Star State wines are made with 100% Texas grapes- no outsourcing here at William Chris Wines. The Hye Society Wine Club offers member access to four special release wines each year, and the first option to buy future wines.
Membership also includes entry to paired wine dinners, barrel tastings, members-only wines, and complimentary tastings. Make sure to call the winery in advance for information about reservations, regular wine tastings, tours, and special seasonal events.
No vineyard, no pretense. This winery is named after an old mathematical theorem because of the infinite number of variables that go into the chaotic process of crafting their ridiculously good wine. The grapes are sourced from the Western slopes of Colorado and High Plains of Texas, then made in a 6,000-square foot urban winery in the South Congress District of Austin.
Their wine is an expression of the local fruit, the process, and the personality of the winemaker as well as the expressions of the people drinking the wine. This is the perfect place to gather a group of friends and enjoy a can of wine (yes, wine in a can!) in an atmosphere full of great vibes.
Being the first full-production grape to glass winery inside city limits makes this spot very special. They receive fruit on-stem from organic and biodynamically farmed vineyards in the Texas High Plains, which is then processed in an urban winery.
Walk into a snob-free, approachable environment and enjoy high-quality wines that are produced with Austin's unique culture, climate, and cuisine. Light bites, flights, and bottles to-go are offered as well.
If you love wine and are in the Lone Star State, then you have to try some of Austin's best wineries!
