About
A Tuscan-style villa serving award-winning wines and mouth-watering cuisine awaits you north of Austin near Marble Falls. Naturally, I'm referring to Flat Creek Estate Winery.
The 80-acre estate boasts sprawling vineyards across the Texas Hill Country, earning Flat Creek Estate Winery over 400 awards. Elegance awaits your visit as you step into the gorgeous tasting room or sit down for a full-service meal. I enjoyed sipping wine on the covered pavilion and enjoying the beautiful view. Had it not been for the occasional Texas drawl I overheard, I would have sworn I was in Italy.
The estate produces dry whites, dry reds, sparkling, and sweets, and pricing is par for wines of this caliber. Selections to consider in the dry white family are the reserve Pinot Grigio 2020, Viognier 2019, and the Rose' 2021. Connoisseurs of reds will want to consider the duo pack of Montepulciano wines from 2016 and 2017. Flat Creek also has cabernets, petite sirah, red blends, and syrahs. For those needing a bit of the bubbly, the vineyard produces a Stanford brut and unique blends like sparkling raspberry and almond. When it's time to relax after dinner around a fire, you'll savor sipping at one of their savory ports.
As many of you know, the best way to discover a wine of your liking is to sign up for a wine-tasting experience. Flat Creek Estate Winery offers several options:
- Outdoor Wine Tasting doesn't require a reservation and includes a flight of three featured wines.
- Indoor Estate Wine Tasting includes a flight of five award-winning wines served by a knowledgeable wine team.
- Private Wine Tasting is available for groups of 2-12 in the cavernous Port Room. Your host will serve premier wines along with letting you sample from barrels.
