The Speakeasy Wine Cave at Barton Springs 🍷

One of our most sought-after experiences is located in our underground speakeasy wine cave at our Barton Springs location. BucketListers is proud to present this immersive series, which features a cozy, candlelit space and a globally inspired wine journey.

The Sommelier’s Choice Tasting is a 90-minute guided experience where you’ll enjoy three rotating wines hand-selected by our sommelier team. The experience starts at $127 per table for two (before tax and service charge) and is offered Wednesday through Sunday. Food is not included, however, guests may purchase Antonelli’s charcuterie boards during their experience. Guests can choose a time slot from 3:00 PM - 8:00 PM. All guests must be 21 or older to enter the cave.

The Grand Tasting is an immersive 90-minute wine journey featuring 9 curated wines sourced from rotating global regions, thoughtfully paired with a premium artisanal charcuterie board from Antonelli’s Cheese Shop. The experience offers a generous tasting of approximately a full bottle of wine per guest, crafted to inspire conversation, connection, and discovery. This premium experience starts at $314.50 per table for two (before tax and service charge) and is offered Wednesday through Sunday. Guests can choose a time slot from 3:00 PM - 8:00 PM. All guests must be 21 or older to enter the cave.

Because this is a historic space, accessibility is limited. If you or a guest have mobility needs, please reach out to us in advance and we’ll do our best to accommodate. Seating is pre-arranged in pairs, and wines featured in the tasting are available for purchase during your reservation.

We do not offer refunds or exchanges for any bookings. You can book this experience directly at: https://www.exploretock.com/wanderlust-wine-co-west/

If you’re looking to host a private party in our speakeasy wine cave, please note that we typically reserve Mondays and Tuesdays for private bookings. We welcome custom events for groups of 8 to 30 guests in the wine cave. Fill out the form below to get started with your inquiry.

NEW! THE SPEAKEASY AIRSTREAM AT BARTON SPRINGS 🍷

Our restored vintage Airstream offers a private wine tasting experience designed for those with a taste for the exceptional. Your group will enjoy a guided 90-minute tasting featuring nine premium wines, each expertly paired with selections from Antonelli’s Cheese Shop. It is the same signature Grand Tasting we offer in our Speakeasy Wine Cave, reimagined in a thoughtfully styled, one-of-a-kind setting that is exclusive to your group of 8-12 guests.

Due to the elevated platform and compact interior layout of the Airstream, the space is not wheelchair accessible.
