BBQ & Wineries Event - Fantastic

Ike was so amazing - never had a better facilitator before. He made it educational, fun, and a total joy. I would recommend this event to anyone but especially would recommend to request Ike!

Hockey party bus!!

Loved the small group. Ike got everyone to introduce themselves and it was fun to see how much everyone had in common. Be prepared to pick a favorite party song to play on the way home.

An awesome day out! Fully recommend

A brilliant day seeing another side to Austin / Texas. Great food and great wine. Brilliant chance to meet new people - we spent the rest of the day with half of the other guests! Evan was knowledgeable and engaging, telling entertaining stories and sharing new facts. Best day out and a highlight of our trip - which after being at the F1 for the weekend, speaks volumes!
