Tucked into the countryside outside Lockhart — a town better known for its barbecue smoke than its vineyards — Austin Custom Winery makes an easy detour for anyone exploring this stretch of Central Texas. Note the limited mid-week hours: it's open Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons into the evening, so it rewards a little planning rather than a spur-of-the-moment stop.

Manchaca
Texas Keeper Cider is a small-batch craft cidery tucked into the rural outskirts of Manchaca, just south of Austin, where the taproom and surrounding grounds lean more toward laid-back gathering spot than polished tasting room. Note that it keeps limited hours—closed early in the week—and tends to come alive on weekends, so it's worth checking ahead before making the drive.
Austin
Tucked into the warehouse-lined St. Elmo district of South Austin, The Austin Winery is an urban winery and tasting room where the production happens right alongside the bar — so the first thing you'll notice is that you're essentially drinking in the middle of the operation. Hours are limited and it leans toward evenings, so plan on an afternoon-into-evening visit rather than a quick midday stop.
Austin
Wanderlust Wine Co.'s downtown spot is an urban winery just off I-35, where the wine is made on-site rather than shipped in from somewhere else — so you're as likely to find the team mid-production as pouring a glass. Expect a relaxed, unfussy room geared toward lingering over a flight, though it's worth checking current hours before you go, since they keep a limited schedule.
