Parties in size of 6 or more are recommended to book one of our private tours. Texas Tipsy Tour’s private tours include a private vehicle and driver, offering a great customization opportunity.
Most of the wineries have some charcuterie or other wine snack available, but any food ordered during your tour will need to be paid separately and directly to the winery location. Be sure to order any food upon arrival or being seated, as delays are possible. Texas Tipsy Tours is not responsible for any delays due to guests ordering food at the locations.
Varies based on the tour. Please see tour and pricing page.
Dripping Springs is about 45 minutes from downtown Austin. Here you will find fewer wineries but also a great mixture of breweries and distilleries. The drive distance between the locations is longer, as they are not all on a row as in Fredericksburg. The wineries are generally more boutique and casual. The Dripping Springs area is great for those looking to mix up their wine tour, include a stop for lunch (there are some great restaurant options), and want a shorter drive from Austin.
Fredericksburg is about 1.5 hours from downtown Austin. Fredericksburg has 50+ wineries, vineyards, and tasting rooms, so it is bound to have what your group is looking for in terms of wine preference. Texas Tipsy Tours works with several preferred wineries, and we can also offer custom itineraries if you are looking for something special or unique. The Fredericksburg wineries range from boutique wineries to large Estate wineries, as you would see in Napa. However, there are fewer options to mix in breweries, distilleries, and food on the wine trail.
Our full-day tours visit three wineries and include your tastings at those locations. See specific item details for more information.
Dripping Springs is about 45 minutes from downtown Austin. Fredericksburg is about 1.5 hours from downtown Austin.

Fredericksburg Tours:
Texas Tipsy Tours picks you up at your hotel or house in Austin, Fredericksburg, Wimberley* and Dripping Springs*. Pick-ups outside of these locations may require an additional pick-up fee and additional time on tour due to travel time.
Additional pick-up fees from locations outside of locations above: Travel fees apply, and are a flat fee. Pick-up fees do not include additional time that may be required to complete your tour, as scheduled. Travel time is additional time that may need to be added to the tour from your tour pick-up time to drop-off time.
This may be needed depending on the travel time to the first location on the tour. In this case, it is best to email info@txtipsytours.com with your pick-up and drop-off address so we can send you more specific information.
Private tours include detailed tour itineraries, reservations, and the cost of tastings as specified in the individual tour details. Tours are priced per person.
Charters (or our black car service booked through our affiliate company, Paradigm Limo) are for transportation only. The cost is charged hourly, not per person. This does not include a detailed itinerary, reservations, or payment of tastings. Guests are to make reservations and pay for their drinks on charter services.
We allow up to 2 non-drinkers for a group of 6+. Non-drinkers receive a 50% discount option when booking. Please note this must be booked in advance, and you cannot be refunded for this after your tour.
This is reserved for those who do not drink at all, not those who wish to buy their own drinks. If your group prefers to buy its own drinks, our hourly charter services are the best option.
A standard wine tasting includes 5-6 1-ounce pours, which equates to about a glass of wine. A wine flight generally includes fewer wines but larger pours for about the same amount of wine or a bit more. Please see the location details for whether a wine flight or wine tasting is included.
Rain or Shine…(Inclement weather), the tour goes on. There are no refunds. Except in the case that the roads flood, the locations shut down, and/or we cannot get you to your destinations safely. We do have umbrellas on board, and we encourage always dressing for the weather (which means layers in Texas)! Please note that there are no guarantees reservations can be switched, but we will try to accommodate the best we can.
We offer various tour times from 4 hours to 8+ hours. Additional time may be added to our full-day tours. Please inquire before your tour so we can adjust the itinerary accordingly. If you would like to extend your time on the day of your tour, you will be billed for the additional time the week following your tour. Please note this may not always be an option due to scheduling, so adjusting the itinerary before your tour is better.
This varies based on travel time. However, we generally schedule and recommend at least an hour at each location.
You are welcome to bring your own snacks. We don’t encourage drinking in our vehicles since you will be drinking at the locations visited, but it is allowed if consumed responsibly. Drinks must have a top with a lid (i.e Yeti cup) to help prevent spills. We are not a party bus! Please note that both the locations we visit and our drivers and staff have the right to refuse service and bring you back from your tour early. This has happened on occasion. We also have a damages fee that will be applied if extensive cleaning is required. You can see our terms and policies here, which must be agreed to in advance of booking with us: https://bit.ly/3rDeuqp
