• Table side wine tasting

The experience

You don't expect a wine tour to roll up in a full-size limousine, but that's how the Lux Drift Austin wine tour works. The vehicle picks you up from a designated meeting point in the city, and you're already holding a bottle someone pre-purchased for the drive out to the Driftwood and Dripping Springs wineries: the ones that actually matter if you're doing this in an afternoon. The whole thing runs 4 to 6 hours from pickup to drop-off, which sounds tight until you realize that's the point: three stops, lunch, no driving yourself, no figuring out which winery is worth the detour.

The tour hits three different wineries where you'll do table-side tastings or bottle service, depending on what each place allows that day. It's a shared group tour, so you're riding with other people: parties of two to four might end up in an SUV instead, which actually means more intimate. In between tastings you stop at Salt Lick BBQ, which is the thing people remember. The food isn't included in the tour price, so you pay separately for lunch, but the wine you bring with you or buy there stays with you through the meal. Bottled water comes with the package, and all the taxes and fees are already baked in, so there's no surprise at the end.

The tour needs at least four people to run, which is worth knowing upfront. If you're booking a party of two, the provider might ask you to shift to a different date rather than wait for more people to fill the van. Weekdays Monday through Friday aren't as popular, which actually makes them better if you want a smaller group or a quieter experience. Call the provider directly if that matters to you. Wine tastings and bottles are separate from the tour price, so budget for that when you're deciding. The minimum age is 21, and they ask that you wear a mask when you're close to people outside your immediate group.
