With Southwest’s Sip and Ship program now at Austin and San Antonio airports, the two Hill Country wineries are offering 10% off a mixed case packed flight-ready at no charge, plus complimentary tastings at both wineries
November 10, 2026 (Stonewall, TX) — Visitors flying home from a Texas Hill Country getaway now have an easy way to bring the region’s wine with them. Neighboring Stonewall wineries Ab Astris and Adega Vinho have teamed up to launch the Stonewall Case, a traveler’s special timed to Southwest Airlines’ expansion of its Sip and Ship™ program to Texas.
On November 2, Southwest added Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, San Antonio International Airport, Dallas Love Field and Houston Hobby Airport to Sip and Ship, which allows travelers age 21 and older to check one packaged case of wine (up to 12 bottles) at no extra cost on domestic flights departing participating airports.
With the Stonewall Case, guests purchase six bottles at Ab Astris and six bottles at Adega Vinho to build a mixed case from both wineries. Guests receive 10% off the case, which is packed in a 12-bottle shipper at no charge and ready for check-in. Shippers are left unsealed, since Southwest requires an agent to inspect each case at the ticket counter before it’s sealed.
The offer also includes complimentary tastings for up to two guests at both wineries, a $118 value. Guests can start at either winery, and can pick the shipper up at Adega Vinho.
“Stonewall has always been a place where neighbors look out for each other, and that goes for wineries too,” said Kristen Nelson, co-owner of Ab Astris. “We love the idea of guests leaving with a case that tells the story of this little stretch of the Hill Country, and now they don’t have to leave it behind when they fly home.”
“So many of our guests are visiting from out of state, and the first question is always how to get the wine home,” said Andrew Bilger, co-owner of Adega Vinho. “Sip and Ship answers that, and the Stonewall Case makes it even easier. We’ll pack it up, the tastings are on us, and they get to share a little bit of Texas when they land.”
The Stonewall Case is available Tuesday, November 10, 2026, through March 31, 2027, during regular tasting room hours. Travelers are responsible for meeting Southwest’s packaging, weight and size requirements at check-in. Full Sip and Ship details are available at southwest.com/sip-and-ship.
