Austin, TX

Create your own customized route on this private limousine tour of wineries in the Austin area. Ride in style as you depart the capital of Texas and explore the vineyards located on the outskirts of the city. Taste a variety of local wines and feel free to purchase a bottle or two of your favorites.

The day starts off with your luxurious limousine pulling up to your hotel to transport you in comfort to whichever wineries you choose. You may start at the Driftwood Estate Winery, which is known for delicious wines like the Viognier, which features hints of orange blossoms and spiced aromas. Here, you can take in the view from a majestic portico that overlooks the Driftwood Vineyards below.

If you are looking for a more intimate experience, stop at Texas Hills Vineyard near Johnson City, located in the gentle hills of the picturesque Pedernales River Valley. Learn about this winery's environmentally friendly approach to growing grapes, as they use the least amount of chemicals allowed by Texas law.

Hye, TX is just beyond Johnson City and is home to our three favorite wineries in the region: Kuhlman Family Vineyards, Hye Meadow and William Chris.

Visit just a couple of wineries and spend hours at each location, or stop briefly at a multitude of vineyards for a short amount of time. The wine itinerary is yours to construct, both in terms of where you go and what you taste.

Paddle through the waters of Lady Bird Lake, scoping out views of downtown Austin's skyline, visiting quiet islands, and cruising past parks that line this sealed section of the Colorado River. Along the way, explore secluded beaches perfect for a refreshing swim and snap photos of native wildlife.

Pick up your kayak on the shores of Lady Bird Lake, a manmade reservoir that helps supply Austin with drinking water and prevent flooding of the Colorado River. Get fitted for a paddle, life jacket, and a kayak as experienced rental staff chat about proper paddling technique and offer tips on different places you can check out.

Enjoy the freedom to explore Lady Bird Lake at your leisure. You might drift to the quiet shores of Snake Island, whose name thankfully has little to do with its character, check out Barton Springs Pool, or look for Mexican free-tailed bats under the Congress Avenue Bridge. At the end of your rental time, point your bow back to the tour office and wrap up your paddling adventure.
