Driftwood’s on-site bistro serves a selection of tasty bites, so your guests can savor both wine and cuisine with a view.
Duchman Family Winery
If you want to add a touch of Tuscany to the experience, Duchman Family Winery is the place to go. Also in the Driftwood area, this family-owned winery prides itself on crafting 100% Texas wines. The Italian villa-style setting, complete with shaded picnic areas and vineyard views, creates a romantic, European atmosphere for tasting sessions. Visitors can even tour the barrel room to get a behind-the-scenes look at the wine production process. The delicious Italian Restaurant Trattoria Lisinia is next door, with an amazing menu, and surrounded by stunning gardens.
Hawk’s Shadow Winery
Your guests will feel like part of the family at Hawk’s Shadow Winery, a pet-friendly spot known for its expansive Hill Country views and Texas-grown wines. Located near Pedernales Falls State Park, Hawk’s Shadow offers tastings of their limited-production wines, crafted exclusively from Texas grapes. Guests are encouraged to bring a picnic, and those looking for something special can book a private tasting or enjoy a candlelit dinner in their unique wine barrel cellar.
Solaro Estate Winery
Nestled on a scenic hillside off of Fitzhugh Rd, Solaro Estate Winery is a hidden gem where guests can sample high-quality, sustainable wines while enjoying views of the vineyard.

The land itself has its own calming, peaceful energy and is far enough from city limits to be considered an Official Dark Night Sky so you can stargaze in lush meadows at infinite galaxies above.
Bell Springs Winery
A local favorite, Bell Springs Winery, is where a relaxed atmosphere, live music, and delicious wines await. Bell Springs is open most days and even includes a brewery on-site, so guests can switch things up and enjoy a craft beer as well.
