About this tour
Trade Austin’s streets for smoky barbecue, vineyard views, and an easygoing day in the Texas Hill Country. This Austin BBQ and Winery Tour pairs a classic Texas food stop with visits to local wineries, all with transportation and a driver/guide so you can leave the driving behind.
Start with a stop at a Hill Country barbecue restaurant, where food is available to purchase. Then continue to local wineries and take in the scenic countryside. The listings describe visits to two or three wineries, so the number of stops may vary. At each venue, choose whether to buy a tasting, a glass, a bottle, or food, or simply enjoy the setting. Purchases are paid directly to the venues.
The shared small-group experience is priced per seat and includes round-trip transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle. Meet beside the 7-Eleven at 2103 S Congress Ave and arrive 10 minutes before departure. Guests must be 21 or older to purchase or consume alcohol.

How the score works and rating distribution in Austin
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
