Great news travels fast in the Texas Hill Country wine tour community, 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 wine tour 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 through our expanded wine tour services.
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 wine tour guests better than ever before.
The Best of Three Wine Tour Companies, Now One Incredible Experience
Let’s talk about what this wine tour acquisition 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 wine tour experiences, their relationships with wineries throughout the Texas wine 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 seeking Hill Country wine tours.
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 in Texas Hill Country transportation.
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 along the 290 Wine Trail.
Now imagine all of that wine tour expertise, all those vehicles, all that experience, and all those winery relationships – combined into one powerhouse wine tour company dedicated to giving you the absolute best Hill Country experience possible.
That’s what we’ve created.

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 the best Texas wineries with you.
