Perfect tour of Texas BBQ and local vineyards - Fun tour stopping at famous Salt Lick BBQ and 2 local vineyards. Joey our guide was so personable and was able to facilitate meeting other couples in the tour van. Enjoyed all the conversation and meeting people from all over the world and country. I am a vegetarian, so I knew there was limited items at Salt Lick - but had good Mac and cheese and potatoes that had a curry flavor. My husband loved the brisket and ribs. Beautiful little garden attached to Salt Lick - I saw some bumble bees foraging in the flowers. Then onto 2 local vineyards which used grapes from Texas. The climate allows your typical grapes to be grown- Merlot, Cabernet, Pinot noir and Gris. Nice that you can choose tasting or just a glass of wine.

Hill Country Wine and Barbecue Tour - The tour was great… a must trip! Our guide lke was great! We came together as strangers and parted as friends. Ike did a cool thing for the trip back to Austin. He asked each of us our musical preferences and then created a play list. So much fun! The wineries and barbecue were great! Ike made the trip! Michael and Judy M

Amazing Guide - The tour guide, Joey was an amazing guide. He kept the tour fun and engaging. Salt Lick BBQ was little to be desired. Food was lackluster at best.

Not ADA compliant - They are not ADA compliant. Refused service because of my husband’s service dog. Do not recommend the provider. Was refusing to refund money until I pointed out the advertisement on Viator states service dogs are allowed.
