Driftwood Estate Winery & Bistro

Favorite Wine: Viognier

Driftwood is an estate winery very close to Austin and near other outstanding wineries. I have visited Driftwood twice--both times memorable. Perhaps its most outstanding feature is the view of the Hill Country from the bluff on which the winery/tasting room sits. The staff in the tasting room is excellent and quite knowledgeable. The wines are good, but not all of them are equally memorable. I found their Chardonnay and Viognier (from grapes grown in their vineyard in Paso Robles, CA) to be the best wines they offered. As a sweet white lover, I found their sweeter wines to be less robust and weaker in flavor. All in all, the wines are good, especially their dry whites. Come prepared to make a picnic in their pleasant grounds and drink a glass overlooking the great view.

You will not believe what a beautiful winery this is until you see it. The wines were very good and the services was great! Be sure to bring a picnic and sit outside overlooking the grounds.
