Wanderlust has had their Barton Springs location opened for a while now and I really enjoy the different offerinsg they have for the public.Need a coffee shop? CheckIn the mood for a wine-forward happy hour? CheckWant a speakeasy wine and tapas pairing in an underground cave? CheckClose access to Zilker Park and Barton Springs Road? CheckWanderlust Wine - Barton Springs has you covered! The decor is super fun and very inviting. My favorite part is the outdoor multi-level patio and it is so nice to work outdoors and feel like you've stepped out of the city for a bit. Their parking lot is adjacent to a large lot of trees and for some reason it reminds me of a cabin so it really feels relaxing and decompressing.The staff here is so friendly and I appreciate how welcoming they are.

Came here to celebrate a friend's 21st birthday with the 9-course wine tasting and Melissa made our experience SO AMAZING! She happily took photos for us, thoroughly explained each of the wine and food pairings, and was very eager to answer our many questions. We were the only people registered for the 8pm slot and she gave us plenty of time to enjoy the tasting experience. We never felt rushed and it was great being able to have great conversations with MelissaThe interior is very cute and so is the cave area. A lot more spacious than we were expecting and the tables are big enough to not be crowded with multiple glasses and food on the table. Each of the wine and food pairings were really interesting in a good way, and definitely a great experience if you enjoy trying new things and exploring. My friend and I HATE blue cheese and fruit in savory foods, but our absolute favorite dish ended up being a combo with tomatoes, grapes, and blue cheese! They change their 9-course tasting menu quarterly and we'll definitely be back!

It was all very tasty and the wines great. I think my concern is that the price point is super high for really tiny bites and so after spending $250 and finishing the tasting, my husband and I went to a restaurant across the street and had a full dinner.I think the idea of a wine cave is really cool, but in actuality, I'm not sure it actually delivered in the way that I had expected,

Visited for my birthday with a group this year and I really enjoyed the wine flights! The service was great as well. Parking is limited at this location but worth it if you want to visit.

One of my girl friends wanted to try the wine cave experiences for her birthday. We reserved the experience for a random weekday and ended up being the only people in the cave so it was such an intimate and special experience. Melissa served all the wines and small bites and she was so sweet and knowledgeable. She really chose some great wines and we really enjoyed hearing about all the wines from her. I will say the small bites are actually just bite size so make sure to eat before hand.

Great place to gather with friends on a nice night. Wines on tap with a delicious food truck out front.

My husband and I booked the Grand Italian Tasting at the Speakeasy Wine Cave by Wanderlust Wine Co back in October and it was absolutely the best tasting experience we've ever had! Melissa and Ryan were outstanding when it came to sharing information about the wine - the perfect blend of friendly and down-to-earth but still educational. The food was phenomenal and easily what sets this tasting apart from others. Alexander and Veronica from the Acento food truck have created hand crafted small bites that compliment each wine paring. There was plenty of time between each course so nothing felt rushed but you also didn't feel like you had been forgotten about. The aesthetic, the wine, the food 14/10 would definitely recommend - we enjoyed it so much we're going back for my birthday in December!

I absolutely adore this location. I have brought so many friends here, and most recently took my husband to their cave speakeasy experience for his birthday. Every person I've brought here has left agreeing with me that this place is amazing!Their Barton Springs location is my absolute favorite. The link here is so cute! In the warmer months, you can easily enjoy some wine while sitting on their patio which is absolutely beautiful. There are plenty of opportunities for cute photos here! They also serve coffee here, so many individuals come here to work from their laptops and then drink some wine once work is over. Every wine I've had here is amazing, but I am particularly fond of their frosé. Also their straws are the CUTEST. Maybe I'm just a girl, but I love that they're little hearts and pink. Also, I highly recommend reading the pink book on their iridescent coffee table. When I bring friends I love showing them the book and we always end up giggling at the satire. What I absolutely have to rave about is their cave speakeasy experience you must try if you can! You have to pay for it in advance and set a reservation on their site. The tasting is $99 per person, and includes 8 wines paired with light bites. My husband absolutely loved this experience for his birthday, and the staff here made sure to make his experience so memorable knowing it was his birthday. The owners guided us through the tasting experience, and it was so wonderful getting to hear the passion behind their business. The owners are a couple and so adorable together! We loved wines we tasted so much we happily went home with two bottles. I highly recommend coming here, whether it's for a glass of wine with the girls, or a memorable time in their cave speakeasy. You will surely enjoy yourself! I will note for the cave speakeasy if you're looking to go with a group, the tables in the space only accommodate two individuals at a time. There is one table that seats 4 individuals, so I think the cave speakeasy experience is better for a more intimate experience.

We recently saw that wanderlust was offering a pairing menu in their new wine cave space at Barton springs and for $99/pp we decided to give it a go.The main space is a cute concept - a great live musician was set up inside and while the inside main space had fairly limited seating (and a very limited wine menu), the outdoor seating area was large and accommodating.Because we were part of the tasting/cave experience our group was led downstairs to a very swanky area and then brought into their "cave" space. The concept was cute and it definitely had a cave vibe (even if it was artificial they pulled it off).The pairings were fantastic - the selection of wines was really great (Spanish/Portugal wines for this flight) and the bites/sips were very thoughtful and well matched.The service and ambiance were fab for a great date night experience.For $99/pp (with taxes and fees it was about $250) we had a great time. The host said they're trying to create additional pairings and new menus and we will definitely go back. Well worth the money for the experience.

Pleasantly surprised with the coffee here! Although the wine was tempting I ordered an Adaptogenic vanilla latte, and it was foamy, creamy and just the amount of froth. It was pretty strong too. This place is adorable with all its plant decor and vibrant pink walls, but personally not my style. I did appreciate how quiet and spacious it was. The outdoor patio is going to be great when the weather cools down. Inside Service was great, not sure I'll come back again, but I'm glad I checked out this spot! Oh get there before 5pm to get free parking. They start valet in the parking lot.
