The Texas Hill Country BBQ and Wine Shuttle from Austin lasts approximately four and a half hours. It departs at 10:30 AM from the Austin Visitor Center located at 103 East 5th Street. The shuttle travels about 35 to 45 minutes southwest to the Driftwood area of Texas Hill Country. Transportation is provided in a Mercedes Sprinter van with air conditioning and a local driver and guide. The tour includes three stops. The first stop is a 50-minute visit to the Salt Lick BBQ restaurant where guests may purchase an early lunch; food and drinks are not included in the tour price. The second stop is Fall Creek Vineyards, where guests spend about 45 minutes tasting local wines; tastings are paid directly at the winery. The final stop is Duchman Family Winery, also for about 45 minutes, where guests can taste award-winning wines and enjoy views of the Hill Country; tastings are paid onsite. After the last winery visit, the shuttle returns to Austin. Guests should plan to pay for their own food and wine tastings during the tour. The tour is for guests aged 21 and older. It runs rain or shine but may be canceled for extreme weather or hazardous road conditions. Guests with limited mobility may bring a wheelchair or portable scooter that can be folded and stored in the van; however, the vehicle does not have a ramp or lift, so all guests must be able to step up about 12 inches to board. Pets and emotional support animals are generally not permitted, but service dogs may be allowed with prior approval from the tour operator. Guests are advised to arrive 15 minutes before departure time for check-in. Parking is available at the Austin Convention Center Garage connected to the Visitor Center.
