Experiences

SEASONAL TASTING

Taste our current lineup of four wines, a mix of new releases and seasonal favorites, led by one of our knowledgeable Tasting Room staff members. This Seasonal Tasting experience is perfect for those who want to get to know our wines in an approachable format. Afterwards, we invite you to get glasses or a bottle of your favorite pour and enjoy the views from one of our tables among the vines. We’re BYOS (Bring your own snacks) so feel free to make it a picnic! Tastings are $10/person, refunded with the purchase of two bottles. Club Members can enjoy this experience complimentary with up to three guests.

EDUCATIONAL TASTING AND WINERY TOUR

We also offer our Educational Tasting and Winery Tour package for those of you looking for a more in-depth experience. One of our knowledgeable Tasting Room staff members will guide you through an educational tasting of our current releases and seasonal favorites, followed by an immersive tour of our wine production facility. Tastings are on Saturdays only and $20/person for Club Members, $40/person for non-Club Members. Group size is limited to 8. For parties larger than 8 guests please contact tastingroom@lewiswines.com or call us at (512) 987-0660 to inquire.

For a more in-depth experience, consider our Winemaker Tasting. Join us for an intimate tasting among the barrels and tanks led by one of our winemakers. Learn about wine growing in Texas and how decisions made in the vineyard and winery impact the wine in your glass. We will taste you through a rotating selection of library and limited-edition wines only accessible through this unique experience. Tastings are available on Saturdays at 11am for up to 8 guests. Price is $55 a person for club members (membership includes 2 guests) and $75 a person for non-club members. Please note, this tasting is for wine only. We encourage you to eat breakfast or a snack prior to your reservation.

RESERVE A PICNIC TABLE

For those who would rather enjoy our wines by the bottle or glass instead of a tasting you can reserve a Picnic Table in the shade of our oak groves. We’re also BYOS (Bring your own snacks) so feel free to make it a picnic! Note, we do not offer tasting experiences at our picnic tables–this reservation is for by-the-glass or bottles only.
