Who Knew? - The BBQ was great, the wine tour was unexpectedly great as well. Who knew Texas produced so much wine? And like the tour guide said “it’s not a bunch of hillbillies making fruit wine” I found some of the best Chardonnay and Merlot I’ve ever tried.

Great wine tour and funny tour guide (10/10), BBQ not the best (6/10) that’s me being nice - The wine tour was amazing and tour guide was a part time comedian! Con, the bbq food was not the best whatsoever, the ribs were not tender and baked beans were bland. Texas bbq from HEB was way better. Suggest eating midway through the tour or let future guest know in advance of purchase so we don’t eat ahead of time.
