A winery crawl for your team, door to door from the office.
The Crawl
Three wineries, a tasting at each, and something new to learn at every stop.
How to taste, what grows in the Hill Country, and how Texas became a wine state, learned over glasses from some of the best wineries in Texas. We pick the team up at the office, make every reservation, and drop everyone back downtown, so the person who booked it gets to enjoy it too.
How the Day Unfolds
Three wineries, start to finish
This is how a crawl to Dripping Springs usually runs. A Fredericksburg day starts earlier and ends later. Every stop is seated, reserved, and driven.
Pickup at the office
A Sprinter at the curb, or two. Cold water on board and the city behind you in fifteen minutes.
First winery: learn to taste
A seated tasting, the whole team at one table. Color, aroma, palate, and what to actually look for in the glass.
Lunch, your call
Brisket at The Salt Lick, Italian at Trattoria Lisina, the dining room at Camp Lucy, or anywhere else the team has in mind. We make it happen.
Second winery: the story of Texas wine
How the Hill Country became a wine region, which grapes do well in the heat, and why Texas wine surprises people.
Third winery: the Blind Tasting Challenge
Everything from the day, put to the test. Three wines poured blind, a scoreboard, and a bottle for the winner.
Back downtown
Dropped at the office, the hotel, or wherever the evening is headed next.
What's Included
One price, everything in it
A crawl is quoted as one number, so nobody splits a tab at the tasting bar and the person who booked it has nothing to reconcile on Monday.
Private transportation
A Sprinter or a full-size SUV and a driver, door to door from the office. Nobody drives, nobody coordinates rides home.
Tastings, covered
A seated, reserved tasting at all three wineries, in the price. Nobody reaches for a card at the bar.
Texas wine education
How to taste, how the Hill Country became a wine region, and the story of Texas wine, told by the people pouring it.
The Blind Tasting Challenge
At the last stop, everything from the day gets tested. Three wines poured blind, and everyone names the grape, the aromas, and whether it is from Texas. A scoreboard, a tiebreaker, and a bottle for the winner.
Gratuities included
For the driver and the tasting room staff. One number, nothing to work out at the end of the day.
The group photo
It ends up on the office wall. Our driver knows where the light is good at every stop.
Where You Go

The wineries we go to in Dripping SpringsAbout 90 minutes from downtown
Fredericksburg
The heart of Texas wine country, and the bigger estates. Worth the drive when you want the full day: grand tasting rooms, Junebug's BBQ, a biergarten on Main Street to finish.

The usual suspects
- A department of twelve at the end of a hard quarter
- A new-hire cohort that has only met on video
- A remote team in Austin for the week
- A client you want to thank with something better than dinner
The Vehicles
Everyone rides together
A Sprinter seats thirteen with room to turn around and talk. A team of up to twenty-five rides in two, in convoy, so everyone arrives at every winery together. Cold water on board, a cooler for the bottles, and a driver who has done this road a few hundred times.
Bigger than twenty-five? The tasting rooms cannot seat that many together, so a larger group needs a full winery buyout.
Group Size
No minimum.Up to twenty-five.
Four people in a full-size SUV or twenty-five across two Sprinters. Bigger than that, we reserve the whole winery and bring coaches, and it becomes a buyout.
