Wanderlust Wine Co. - Austin

This place is absolutely amazing for an indecisive person like me. Being able to taste 1 ounce pours of wines was truly a game changer for me. You walk up to the different wines and they have amazing explanations. You decide what you want and pay for the pour size you would like. It's a cute, cozy place to hangout and play games or just chat with company. The employees were really nice and explained everything well too. Can't wait to go back.

We had paid for the group tasting. When we arrived we each got a complimentary Jell-O shot which we thought was kinda random. We each got a Spanish red, white, and rose. We all got the same 3 wines and did not get to choose which we were a little disappointed about. Would be cool if they had selections of 3 that each person could pick. Especially ones with all reds or all whites in case you don’t like one or the other. It also came with a individual cheese box. Definitely something that could be skipped. The boxes of food had definitely been frozen as some of the pieces still had ice on it. (I think this is the only food available). We liked that there was board games to play. There was also a huge outdoor section but we stayed inside. The concept of the wine tap and “pay for what you pour” is definitely fun! It was pretty quiet in there most of the time and was not crowded at all. It was a cool spot but not amazing.

It was okay. The best part is trying different drinks in small quantities. However, the wine tastes a little flat since it's from kegs. It was about $2 per ounce depending on the drink. It would make a fun date night. I have no desire to go back.

Just attended the speakeasy/cave wine tasting Barton Springs location and had the pleasure of meeting the owners. We were SO impressed and pleased at the wines, bites and whole vibe of this lovely intimate and unique event. Kudos to creating something different for “date night” or any night. We will definitely be back with friends! So much fun!!

Wine lovers, if you haven't been to a Wanderlust Wednesday, you are missing out! Every Wednesday, wines run for 50%! How it works: upon entry, you'll check-in at the counter where you'll keep your credit card on file and in return, receive a swipe card. That swipe card is your lifeline, as it will give you all the wines you want. The wines are divided by country and types. Depending on your selection, you'll be able to see the name of the wine with a thorough description on the screen. Once you've made your final decision, you'll place your card on the slot, and turn the spout. I absolutely love the endless possibilities that await here.
