Compference, the only conference for comp professionals, is being held in Austin, Texas this year. But what does that mean for you, as a Compference17 attendee?
If you’re at all familiar with Austin, a few key themes might come to mind — things like barbecue, good weather, craft beers, and street tacos. All of these things add up to a pretty good combination of entertainment that will please any Compference goer.
But if you’re like me, you might find yourself wanting to treat yourself (or your Compference buddy) with something a little more upscale. And by upscale, I mean wine and cheese. With that said, here are some hand-picked wine bars we recommend checking out while you’re in Austin. These wine bars have the added bonus of being a short walking distance or a quick Lyft ride away from the official Compference hotel in downtown Austin.
