This isn't your typical review, but these guys deserve the compliment. I swing by once a week solely to pick up my Gather and Deliver order and they're always super friendly. Conversation is easy and from what I've been able to see, they really know their stuff. The atmosphere is super chill, the room is cozy, and the service is top-notch. It's always a pleasure to pop in for a few minutes to hang out and I recommend anyone else do the same.

We love it!!!! If you are a wine person you need to come here. The place is so nice and calm. The service was great.
Ross was super friendly and knowledgeable. Great vibes and atmosphere all around.
Lots of cool restaurants, bars and food trucks are in walking distance.
Dad and I stopped by on the way through town last night, we will definitely be back. Thanks Ross! (And the other guy too! Sorry I forgot your name!!)

I gave 3 stars because the servers do a great job at providing a lot of information about the wines. For me, I didn't find any wine from ones I tasted (3 wines) for $20 which I thought was high. They were too sour to enjoy. But the servers provide excellent customer service.

Good atmosphere, the wines were incredibly good and the guy we got super sweet and adorable. We have a good time.

We tried The Austin Winery on two different occasions, and both times their wine was just okay or not good. The first time was a wine flight we had catered at our apartment, while the second time, we visited in person with a group of friends. Honestly, the wines we buy from Costco taste better.
We did the $20 wine tasting flight where you get to choose 3 from the menu. The pros are that it's cheap and they give generous pours, but the con is that the wines don't taste good. Thank goodness I shared with my husband because I wouldn’t have been able to finish it myself.
1. Picpoul Blanc: One Elm Vineyards – High Plains white wine with notes of lemongrass, pink lemonade, and raspberry. It was okay.
2. Aqua Pazza – High Plains/High Country orange wine with notes of apricot, candied lemon, and orange zest. It tasted like a bitter citrus wine and was our least favorite of the wines we tried.
3. GSM: Salt Lick Vineyards – Hill Country chilled red wine with notes of mint berry crunch and herbal. I think we prefer non-chilled red wine, since the tannins were super muted, but the cold temperature does make it more enjoyable on a hot day.
Lavender Haze ($15): This is a wine cocktail made with Ocho, lemon, lavender simple syrup, topped with Rambler, and garnished with a lemon wheel. Ocho is a Salt Lick Vineyards – Hill Country white wine with soft lychee, beeswax, and freshly minted bills. It’s a light and bright wine cocktail that’s great for an afternoon drink.
Bread With Oil & Balsamic Reduction ($6): You definitely need to dip the bread in the balsamic reduction; otherwise, the bread is just so bland by itself. Recommend getting the shareables instead, since the bread doesn’t really add anything to the wine tasting. Our friends got the charcuterie, and the meat, cheese, and fig really helped us get through the wine flight.

The location itself is cute and cozy. The guy manning the bar was phenomenal. Amazing and friendly server who knew a lot about wine. The wine itself (for me) was a let down, especially considering the price. They only serve natural wine. If you’re not used to it, the flavor is completely different than regular wine. Everything tasted a bit vinegary to me. It wasn’t undrinkable, but I would not come back here for the wine alone.

Hello. More like a 3.5 wine, (we did 2 Estate wine tastings and one regular red) we found a few of them quite sour.. just not my favorite reds.. but we did enjoy a small charcuterie.. it was different. Generally a strong cheese like a blue won't be found on one because it's pungent. I ate a little of it and my husband ate none. The cheddar and Parmesan were good: the bread was very delicious on it. And the meat was as well.. I'd say the charcuterie board kicked the experience to a 4... nice ambiance.. a tad too much AC though.

I cannot rate this place high enough!! It was perfect for an event we hosted last night for roughly 100 people. Such a great location with parking, appetizers, lots of drink selections, a food truck out front, and such cute aesthetic. Will definitely be back!

We had a great time here. We did a sampling of the wines. The three that were suggested were all very good. The owners Cooper and Matt were so friendly and gave us great options for food in Austin during our visit. We wish they could ship to Wisconsin but understand why they don't. We definitely would have shipped some home. It was great to meet them and see this very unique winery. I would recommend you check it out.
The Austin Winery offers a unique and unconventional setting, housed in what appears to be a repurposed warehouse or industrial space - almost like a hangar. The high ceilings and multiple seating areas create an open and inviting atmosphere, making it an interesting place to explore.
One of the standout features is that the wine barrels and fermentation tanks are located right inside the space. Judging by the tubing and sensors attached to them, these aren’t just for show - they’re actively part of the winemaking process, adding authenticity to the experience. There are numerous barrels throughout, as well as different seating areas, including a mezzanine level above the main space.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, happy to guide you through their selection of locally made Texas wines. They offer a mix of reds, whites, and rosés, along with a tasting option. I personally tried the Spaghetti Blend - a dry, acidic red that felt perfect for a hot day. The white wine was also impressive, and generally, Texas whites tend to stand out more than the reds.
Outside, there’s a terrace with two food trucks, making it easy to pair your wine tasting with a casual lunch. The combination of great wine, an industrial-chic atmosphere, and a laid-back setting makes The Austin Winery a great spot for both wine lovers and those just looking for a relaxed experience. Highly recommended!

Great wine, snacks and vibes! If you are interested in learning more about wine and the process of making it, definitely check out Austin Winery! The staff are super knowledgeable and kind. My boyfriend is a member of the wine club and we love nipping in every once in a while for the perks!

Great spot to go if you want the staff to make a weird observation about your physical appearance

Great wines, reasonable pricing, very clean facility with high ceiling. Food truck outside, friendly service. Really nice date location. Their wine club is also a good deal!!

Amazingly unique and interesting wines. Loved orange wine, Cabernets & paseante noir.
