Matt was a wonderful guide through our wine tasting today. The view was amazing from the deck. Even though it was a hot day, the breeze and shade made for a wonderful wine tasting- yes, they have indoor seating, we just lucked out on a pleasant breeze in the shade.

This is a fantastic winery! The setting is gorgeous, with a large patio overlooking the Hill Country. And the wines are very good (coming from someone who grew up going to tastings at Napa and Sonoma area wineries). But the best part was the unhurried and informative wine knowledge imparted by Matt. He's a gem!

AMAZING experience! If you’re looking for a sign to visit a winery, this is your sign. Our wine connoisseur for the day was Matt—you can tell that he’s not only passionate about his job, but passionate about ensuring a FANTASTIC visit for his guests. He was very knowledgeable about all-things Hawk’s Shadow wine and wine in general. We felt taken care of and were truly immersed in their beautiful Hill Country experience. Could not recommend more! Fantastic staff, fantastic wine, fantastic venue :)

My wife and I love this place. Always at the beginning of our adventures into Texas wine country. Matt and Doug have always been highly accommodating. We ran into an issue with a case we had purchased and Matt discovered the source of the issue. It resulted in them taking excellent care of us to address the issue as the wine was for a family event. I will say their wines are more wild and more highlands Texas so there are unique flavors unique to Texas in the bottles. These are not the wines for you if your scared to move outside of California or French known names. They have a wildness to them much like the Chilean old vines and Australian and South African vines. Their whites are excellent with flaky fish or smoked pork or chicken. The reds yell to be a part of the party and not an after thought. Their Left and Right Banks matched up well with a thick black angus steak, lamb, venision, or duck. Be ready for an adventure in both taste and get out of your normal comfort zone.

First off.....beautiful view! The staff was friendly, and the tasting was fun and informative. They have a cool underground limestone cellar, which was pretty cool to see. It's definitely worth the drive through the beautiful hill country. Can't wait to go back.

I really cannot say enough positive things about this place. A little further off the beaten path but well worth the trip. I have been a few times and every time the owners are welcoming and friendly. It is hardly ever super crowded but I am never the only one there. The price point on the wine tastings is also much lower than other winery / vineyards in the area so that is a nice little plus. The venue also has really fantastic hill country views looking north across the plains.

This winery deserves a 10 ⭐️ Went a day after Christmas 2022 with bunch of friends. The owner was the only person working but he did a great job keeping up with the crowd. Our group was one of the last ones to leave and he was very kind to give us a tour of the cellar. Turns out owner is a retired Electrical Engineer who's passionate about wines. If you're ever in the area, check out this winery. Both red and white wines were good. No sweet wines though.

A beautiful drive ends here. What a gem. The employees are fantastic, fun, kind. You definitely feel the caring here. The story behind the wine sells it for me. This an art for this team, and it shows in every way. Really enjoyed the winemaker tour, truly fascinating and learned a ton. Definitely will return.

Loved the wine tour and wine cellar! Love the rolling green hills! I've never been into dry wines and reds usually give me headaches. I love these reds which is a new experience for me- and with no headache. Make the drive and check it out! The owners are so personal and down to earth, and Matt was so knowledgeable and had great service! My new favourite!
