Flat Creek Estate
Reviews
Went for my first time a week ago (on a beautiful winter day) and met Madelyn one of the owners who was serving us up some of the best wine I have tried in Texas! We did not eat at the bistro but our family friends said that it was amazing. We ended up joining the "wine club" which gives you discounts and free tastings (not sure how many per year). It is really a beautiful setting that reminded me of being in South Africa (well, kind of :). These people were lovely and do an excellent job with their wines. I loved the 2009 and 2010 Syrah (reserve) and the Super Texan has all sorts of bold flavors for the reds. There was also a very nice, light Pinot Grigio they had. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Also, they have a very nice restaurant and tasting room in Marble Falls now too!
Flat Creek is an amazingly beautiful little winery just outside of Lago Vista. Call for dining reservations or swing by for a tasting. I just wish they had lodging then it would be perfect!!
One of my fav Hill Country Wineries! Not only is the drive in gorgeous with the scenic hills surrounding the tasting room, but this is one of the prettiest tasting rooms I have visited! The staff is very nice and knowledgeable and you can do tastings at the bar or sit at a bistro table and have the tasting come to you! Nice selection of wines and you can buy by the tasting, glass, bottle, or case. My favorite feature here is they have a brunch menu on the weekends! They even have some beautiful wine artwork for sale that is worth checking out! Just a fantastic place to take a leisurely weekend drive out to for a nice wine/bistro stop and continue through the scenic splendor of the Central Texas Hills!
Zero stars. Rude snooty staff refused to seat my party more than an hour before the Bistro was scheduled to close. Management was unable to offer any suitable solutions. The trip was a complete waste. You should avoid this place, poor service and poorly managed. Ended up getting way better food and service at Krave wine bar and Bistro in round rock.
When you visit Flat Creek Estate, it's easy to believe you're in Tuscany. The setting is beautiful. But the wine and food are the best reasons to visit. The tasting room is awesome - you get to sit at a table and the staff comes to you. Be sure to take time to eat in the Bistro while you're there. My favorites are the roasted veggies and the margherita pizza. (Make reservations! It's a small place with limited tables. You never know when there might be a private party!)
