Great news travels fast in the Texas Hill Country, and we’ve got some of the best news we’ve ever shared: This fall, Cowboy Tours officially welcomed two of the region’s most beloved transportation companies into our family. Texas Tipsy Tours and Paradigm Limo have joined forces with Cowboy Tours, creating the most comprehensive, full-service wine tour and luxury transportation company in the Hill Country.
If you’ve experienced the magic of Texas Tipsy Tours’ exceptional service or enjoyed the executive-level luxury of Paradigm Limo, you already know what makes these companies special. And if you’re a longtime Cowboy Tours guest, you’re about to discover a whole new world of options for exploring everything the Hill Country has to offer.
This isn’t just a business expansion – it’s a celebration of everything that makes Hill Country hospitality great, brought together under one roof to serve you better than ever before.
The Best of Three Worlds, Now One Incredible Experience
Let’s talk about what this means for you.
Texas Tipsy Tours has been a fixture in the Hill Country wine tour scene since 2017, earning an incredible reputation with over 600+ five-star reviews across Google, Yelp, and Facebook. Founded by Courtney Barnett when she was just 26 years old, Texas Tipsy Tours built its name on providing luxury winery, brewery, and distillery tours throughout Austin, Fredericksburg, Dripping Springs, and the surrounding Hill Country. Their expertise in curating custom experiences, their relationships with wineries throughout the region, and their legendary drivers like Patrick, Bob, Jordan, and Keith have made them the go-to choice for discerning wine lovers from Austin to San Antonio.
Paradigm Limo brought executive black car services and premium limousine rentals to Austin and the Hill Country, offering the kind of professional, polished transportation that corporate clients and special events demand. Their fleet of luxury vehicles, professional chauffeurs, and commitment to punctuality and service made them the trusted choice for airport transfers, corporate events, conventions, and upscale occasions requiring nothing less than perfection.
Cowboy Tours, founded in 2022, quickly established itself as Fredericksburg’s #1 wine tour experience with a perfect 5/5 rating, bringing a unique “cowboy chic” style, luxury party buses, and personalized service that turned wine tours into unforgettable celebrations.
Now imagine all of that expertise, all those vehicles, all that experience, and all those relationships – combined into one powerhouse company dedicated to giving you the absolute best Hill Country experience possible.
That’s what we’ve created.
What This Means for You: More Options, More Destinations, More Expertise
Expanded Service Area
Previously, Cowboy Tours primarily served Fredericksburg and the immediate surrounding area. With Texas Tipsy Tours now part of our family, we can offer comprehensive coverage throughout the entire Hill Country region:
- Austin: Whether you’re staying downtown or in the suburbs, we now offer convenient pickup and drop-off throughout the Austin metro area
- San Antonio: Our expanded service area means San Antonio guests can easily book Hill Country wine adventures without the hassle
- Dripping Springs & Driftwood: This craft beverage hotspot is now fully accessible with our tours

No matter where you’re starting from or where you want to go in the Hill Country, we’ve got you covered.
Incredible Variety of Tour Experiences
The combination of these three companies means you now have access to the most diverse selection of wine country experiences in Texas:
Classic Wine Tours: Visit three premium wineries with reserved tastings, knowledgeable guides, and all the details handled for you. Perfect for first-time visitors or anyone who wants a curated introduction to Hill Country wines.
Brewery & Distillery Adventures: Why limit yourself to wine? Our expanded tour options now include craft brewery visits and distillery experiences. Mix and match based on your preferences – maybe two wineries and a brewery, or a winery, distillery, and speakeasy experience.
Custom Private Tours: With our combined expertise and relationships throughout the region, we can create truly personalized itineraries. Want to visit that boutique winery that only takes appointments? Interested in a behind-the-scenes production tour at a specific vineyard? Looking to combine wine tasting with a stop at your favorite Hill Country restaurant? We can make it happen.
Austin Bar Crawls: Thanks to Texas Tipsy Tours’ popular Austin nightlife experiences, we now offer guided bar hopping adventures in Austin’s vibrant entertainment districts. Enjoy the city’s craft cocktail scene, live music venues, and eclectic watering holes with professional transportation keeping you safe.
Lake Travis Party Boat Charters: That’s right – we’ve even got you covered on the water! Enjoy a day on Lake Travis with our charter services, perfect for bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate team building, or just a fun day with friends.

Luxury Fleet Like You’ve Never Seen
Combining three companies’ vehicles means we now have the most impressive and diverse fleet in the Hill Country:
The Cowboy Collection: Our signature “Let’s Go Girls” party buses, VIP Hummer Limo, and Excursion Limo continue to be the perfect backdrop for bachelorette parties, celebrations, and fun group outings. Custom designs, premium sound systems, photo walls, and that distinctive cowboy flair that makes every moment Instagram-worthy.
Executive Black Car Services: Need something more corporate or refined? Our Paradigm Limo fleet offers executive SUVs with leather interiors, climate control, panoramic sunroofs, and the professional polish that business travelers and upscale events require.
Versatile Luxury Vehicles: From intimate couples’ experiences in luxury sedans to large group adventures in spacious shuttles and sprinters, we have the perfect vehicle for every group size and occasion. All vehicles come equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, air conditioning, comfortable seating, and amenities to make your journey as enjoyable as your destinations.
Best-in-Class Drivers & Service
Here’s something really special: we didn’t just acquire vehicles and tour routes – we brought together the best drivers, guides, and hospitality professionals in the business.
The legendary Texas Tipsy Tours drivers that guests requested by name? They’re now part of the Cowboy Tours family. The professional Paradigm Limo chauffeurs known for their punctuality and discretion? They’re with us too. Combined with our existing Cowboy Tours team, we now have the deepest bench of experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional drivers in the region.
Every single one of them is:
- Licensed and professionally trained

- Committed to safety as the top priority
- Dedicated to creating personalized, memorable experiences

Still the Same Heart, Just a Bigger Family

Cowboy Tours remains locally and family-owned and operated. We’re not a corporate chain or a franchise – we’re Hill Country locals who love this place and want to share it with you. Texas Tipsy Tours was founded by a local woman with a passion for the region, and Paradigm Limo was built on the same values of professionalism and genuine hospitality.
We’ve simply brought together three companies that share the same DNA: attention to detail, genuine care for guests, commitment to safety, and a belief that exploring the Hill Country should be effortless, luxurious, and unforgettable.
