Taking over Austin’s Wine’s new drinking destinations, located on Austin’s family-owned vineyard in Sutherlands Creek, Tulip will present a more relaxed version of their celebrated dining experience under the guidance of Manager Dan Ford and Chef Mike Jaques, recipients of a prestigious chef’s hat in the esteemed Good Food Guide 2023.

Here, guests will embark on a culinary journey as Tulip showcases their seasonal menu, expertly crafted to highlight the finest seasonal ingredients and local produce.
