dry comal creek vineyards

Attended the Wine and Cheese University at Dry Comal Creek Vineyards. What a wonderful time. Had a great time pairing wine and cheeses. Would highly recommend this experience for anyone. We had a great time and it appeared the individuals around us did too. Would have never though of pairing some of these wine and cheeses together. The instructors were very informative and made for a very enjoyable experience.

My wife and I drove out of our way to visit this location from the north side of Canyon Lake while staying at a friend's house on Dec. 30th; we arrived, and the tasting bar was full, so we moved to the gift shop in the back. There were several picnic tables set up in this area (apparently some were reserved for a group tasting later). No one acknowledged us as we explored this area for five minutes, nor as we moved to the tasting area. There was one person behind the bar attending to the tasting needs of six people, and no where for us to stand. After about 15 minutes of waiting in this front area (we drove over a half-hour, and because it was a Tuesday, no other wineries were open that day that we were aware of), the server finally asked us if we would like to do a tasting. We responded enthusiastically, but she then proceeded to ignore us for another ten minutes, so we left.This was an extremely disappointing experience. I understand being busy, but to ignore patrons for twenty minutes, and then to ignore them again after they have expressed an interest in being served, is pretty poor service. What was also disappointing is that there were several interesting items in the gift shop that I would have considering purchasing, but given the level of service we experienced, I refused to spend any of my money here. We most certainly will not return to this location.

Walked in and the wine tasting bar was full. Perused the small gift shop while waiting for a spot and were never greeted by the hostess serving. After about 20 minutes, the hostess finally asked if we wanted to sample some wine. We waited another ten while she attended to her other customers and finally got fed up, and left. As a former bartender, I understand being busy. What I can't forgive is lack of acknowledgement and complete disregard for patrons in your establishment. We drove out of our way to visit the winery and left without tasting a thing. My husband and I love wine and were very disappointed. We will not go back.

The jalapeno shot is an absolute must! The vineyard is beautiful and the facilities are exquisite. We tried the full spectrum, including the sangria, which was fantastic. The sangria is also available to take home, along with unfinished wine bottles.

I really wanted to buy wine after a lovely tour and visit at this pretty little place and I did buy one bottle. But, honestly, the wine isn't great. There was a small wedding going on and I imagine this would be a sweet place for an event. Friendly staff.

Truly a lovely wine tasting experience. We visited for the first time this weekend - charming little vineyard. I was pleasantly delighted with my experience. They have some great ideas for spicy food parings. Mandy was very helpful. We will be back.

This is a review of the vineyard's annual grape stomping competition. The vineyard is a little gem set in the Texas countryside just outside of San Antonio. Tickets were $70.00 a person and include an engraved wine glass, event t-shirt, two glasses of wine and a simple lunch. If you have ever wanted to stomp grapes this is your chance. Participants stomp grapes (2 man team) for 10 minutes and the teams that get the most juice win the competition. Great fun. They had a really good band playing. A great way to "pass a good time". The grape stomping occurs in early August each year. Go to the vineyard's web site to get details and dates.

We visited the week of their grape stomp. Lots of people were there to stomp on grapes. We did a tasting and had a very knowledgeable person explain their wines. Average 1/2 ounce pours as expected. There are grapes grown on-site and the vineyard is beautiful. It's a hidden gem and we will return.

Small, private vineyard. Beautiful grounds. Fun and knowledgeable wine tasting. Delicious wines! My favorite: White & Black Spanish VI. My husbands: Black Spanish Reserve. And the Demi-Sweet was Yummy!

This place is darling, and has great charm. My boyfriend and I ventured here on a Sunday, and had a lovely time. The gentlemen assisting with the wine tasting were very accommodating and helpful.

We got to taste 12 wines and they were all very good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I particularly loved the Sangria. We sat outside under the trees and enjoyed a peaceful afternoon.

Sipping great wine among historic live oaks. What could be better?! We had a great time at our tasting. The staff was friendly & knowledgeable. The grounds are beautiful. Worth a stop for sure.

We went here with a giant party. We got pretty decent service especially considering the size of our party. There was a lot of downtime while tasting, but that was fine because I wasn't looking to get drunk. We didn't do the tour, only a tasting. It was $10 for 8 non reserve wines. The wine shot we did was $2 but didn't come in the frozen shot glass, probably because there were so many of us. I think it would be better to go when the vines are growing- everything just kind of looked dead. All the wines we tried (non-reserve) were just not my taste... they were all really extreme (extremely sweet or extremely dry or extremely cinnamon-y). I couldn't picture drinking any of these wines with dinner. The best thing was the frozen sangria. We also did the shooting blanc, with the jalapeno. That was good too. Maybe central Texans just have different taste than me!

We went to this winery not really knowing what to expect from Texas wines. The lady working, Jean, was extremely friendly and kind. Since we didn't want a full tasting (8 wines, I believe), as we don't like reds, she let us taste 4 whites/blush without a charge. She also had crackers and salsa for between. I like sweet wines (think Riesling), but her sweet wine was too much even for me! The white she said was "dry" was more Riesling-ish or Pinot Grigio, certainly not dry. The blush was very fruity, but also sweet. Her sangria was the best, but she didn't have it for sale:( Overall it was quaint and nice. We bought a bottle because we felt kind of sorry for her having no one there - plus she was so nice to us! It's an OK wine.

Went on a Sunday for the 1:30 p.m. tour and then did a wine-tasting afterwards. Interesting tour, great staff, and delicious wines. We planned on doing just the tour and wine-tasting, but enjoyed their wine so much, ended up going home with three bottles! We'll be back for next year's grape-stomping event!
