Texas Tipsy Tours offers join-in or group tours that allow small groups to join in with other small groups. These experiences are great for groups in size of 2-5 people.
What is the cost of a join-in tour?
Please visit our Fredericksburg Join-In Tour (link) page for pricing. The cost is generally less than our private tours, as you will be sharing the experience with other groups.
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.
No, unfortunately, our Join-In Tours cannot be customized. We have set pick up and drop off locations, as well as locations that we visit.
Outside food and drinks are NOT permitted on Texas Tipsy Tour’s Join-In Tour experiences. We will have a cooler with water provided for you.
Our Join-In Tours do not include food. We recommend eating a big breakfast or brunch! The wineries typically have charcuterie or other wine snacks that you can purchase while you are at the winery. Be sure to order first thing, as delays are possible. Texas Tipsy Tours will not delay the tour due to delays at the wineries for food.
Our Fredericksburg Join-In Tour picks up at the Fredericksburg Visiter’s Center, 302 E Austin St, Fredericksburg, TX 78624. Uber, Lyft, and other taxi services are generally available to get you here if needed. Please schedule the ride in advance so you do not miss the tour.
Texas Tipsy Tours leaves right on time for our Join-In Tour in order to stay on schedule. If you miss the tour start, you will miss out on the experience and will not be refunded
Unfortunately, no. Our Join-In Tour has a set itinerary, and we must stay on schedule. The only exception to this is if the wineries are so busy that the tasting staff cannot get you out on time, through no delay of your own. At this point, Texas Tipsy Tours will make adjust the itinerary for the remainder of the time.
No, you must be at the pick-up to participate in the tour.

Groups of 2-5 people will be in an SUV.
Groups of 6-14 will be in a standard Mercedes Sprinter. The standard Mercedes Sprinter has forward-facing seats in rows. Please note that the 14th seat is up front next to the driver.
We have a Sprinter Limo with wraparound seating, pending availability, for an additional $250 for groups of 6-11 people.
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 three wineries. Our half-day tours visit two locations and include your drinks 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 offers a large selection of wineries so that serious wine drinkers will love the choices in this area. Dripping Springs is closer to Austin and offers not only wineries but breweries and distilleries, as well.

Additional pick-up fees from locations outside of locations above: Travel fees apply, and are a flat fee.

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 have two different half-day tour experiences, one from Austin and one from Fredericksburg. They each are about four hours and include two tastings.

We allow up to 2 non-drinkers for a group of 6+. The cost of our non-drinkers at $65/person and includes their transportation on the tour.
This is reserved for those not drinking at all, not those who just wish to buy their own drinks. If your group prefers to buy their 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.
Only our Wine + Salt Lick BBQ Tour includes a designated lunch stop (meal not included). Most of the venues offer charcuterie or other snacks. If you would like to include a stop for lunch, talk to our team about adding on time to your tour. Please note that this is not an option on our half-day tours.
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
You will not have to do a lot of walking (unless you are scheduled to do a tour of one of the locations). Please dress for the weather, as some locations are outside seating.
