Great Atmosphere (love the shop). The wine steward (girl working there - not the owners) was really accommodating & very nice. They were very busy at the time yet she was so nice and helpful.
The shop is situated amongst the old buildings in Old Town Helotes. It is tucked amongst the live oaks. It is a beautiful setting and they have outdoor seating on the front deck.I loved their fountain in the corner of the deck. The base was an old wine barrel (cut in half). Water flowed up and through a wine bottle, pouring into a wine glass which overflowed into the wine barrel. Relaxing and very cool!
I don't drink but was there to pick up some port for my father's birthday gift. By the way, I hear the port is excellent (from my parents, wine connoisseurs). My father was very happy to receive it - and he usually only drinks Italian Pinot Grigio! In fact, I am going by tomorrow to pick up some wine & a different port (for my Dad)!
The day I visited they were offering a watermelon cooler (slushee?) - not virgin! I would have tried it had I not been driving 😞 - and I don't drink! 😲 I am sure it was both delicious and refreshing, especially on that typical Texas scorching Summer day in August.
There were people inside sitting at a table enjoying a cheese & fruit tray with their wine, and more buying wines and having a tasting. Some people from out of town visited because they heard not to miss visiting Helotes Creek Winery!
Don't miss Helotes Creek Winery. Have a glass of wine (and make a purchase!). Afterwards you can shop the other interesting nearby shops before coming back again for another glass of wine (or a wine slush) and a snack!
