Austin Half-Day Hill Country Wine Shuttle Experience

4.9 (355 reviews) · By Austin Detours LLC

If you love wine but want a more budget-friendly way to explore Texas Hill Country, the Half-Day Hill Country Wine Shuttle from Austin is perfect. This tour offers a relaxed, scenic journey through some of the region's most beautiful spots and top wineries, all without the high costs of private tours.

Ride comfortably in a luxury Mercedes Sprinter van with a friendly, knowledgeable guide who knows the area inside out. You'll visit two award-winning wineries, enjoying tastings and stunning views along the way. The tour wraps up in Austin’s vibrant St. Elmo Arts District, where you can explore more or head back home.

Wineries are booked in advance, so all you need to do is enjoy the tastings—though tasting is optional, it’s highly recommended. Keep in mind, each tasting costs around $20-25, paid directly at the wineries. The route may vary on Mondays to accommodate winery hours and availability.
