Thank you to the establishments featured in this article for allowing me to sample their drinks at no charge. All opinions are my own.

Going Out?

Enjoy rosé at the following establishments in Austin.

Kitty Cohen’s

This beloved 1970s-themed patio bar and cocktail lounge has become synonymous with the flamingo wallpaper that covers the bathrooms…and its rosé. Kitty Cohen’s serves up frosé (frozen rosé) and non-frozen bottled varieties for your sipping pleasure.

Aviary Wine & Kitchen

With a “wine for everyone” philosophy, how could you possible go wrong by choosing Aviary as your next rosé-all-day destination?

Under the menu section entitled Jane Mansfield, the entertaining legend has been pronounced “the high priestess of the pink palace” by the establishment.

Guests will find eight rosés to choose from, including native Austin Dandy Rosé and more unusual varieties such as the Hirzuta ‘Zuri’ from Txakoli, Spain.

Don’t miss half-off bottles every Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m.

Look to 24 Diner for all that, plus more. This local restaurant has a great selection of still and sparkling rosés and it’s open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Ready? Okay, I warned you. You can sip $5 sparkling rosés all. damn. day. If that’s not the best news you’ve ever read, then I don’t know what is.

Although I’ve never dined inside Lenoir, I am a frequent visitor to the wine garden for a host of reasons. At the top of my list: the charming atmosphere, great fare, and–you guessed it–phenomenal wine list.

Lenoir currently offers two rosés by the glass and three by the bottle to quench your thirst.

Stop by the beautiful patio from Tuesday through Sunday, 5 to 6:30 p.m., for the happiest of hours!

Take Your Rosé Home

If you don’t feel like going out to one of the restaurants above, look to the Austin-based brands below to get your rosé fix at home.

Dandy Rosé

Pink bubbles made from 100 percent Texas grapes and a female sommelier? Yes, please! Dandy Rosé poured onto the rosé market in 2014 and never looked back. Ever since, its dry crispness has been helping locals fight the central Texas heat with style.

While you can find Dandy Rosé at many restaurants and and bars in town, I think it’s best enjoyed sitting poolside or in the comfort of your own home.

Sway Rosé by Yes We Can

Yes, you can enjoy rosé anywhere, thanks to Texas’ first ever canned rosé. It’s made with 100 percent Texas high-plain grapes, and you’ll taste hints of guava, passion fruit, and fresh strawberries. It’s perfect floating down the river or hanging poolside.
