Wine and bbq
This tour was really fun and educational about the area... our tour guide, Joey, was knowledge, interesting and entertaining. The Salt Lick BBQ food was wonderful . We highly recommend the brisket which melted in our mouth . It was also fun to see the big bbq spit where all the meat was BBQ’d. The driftwood winery had beautiful views. Both wineries had good wine and pretty grounds .. Joey made sure everyone had information they requested to satisfy other interests .. We highly recommend this tour.
Must do while visiting Austin
Joey was the guide and entertainment. He's very knowledgeable of the area and gives out great recommendations 👍. He's laid back and easy going and takes you to 3 great spots. He's like that funny DD when you need one.
