Graveyard Vineyards

Reviewed By DMHappyTravel - Greenville, United States

Ok folks, those of you lucky enough to live in TX or visiting here must make it a priority to visit Graveyard Winery. My husbands and I are transplants from California and know these folks well from their thriving wine business in Paso Robles. We have a discriminating palate for wine and this place delivers ! These winemakers know how to make incredible vino! The reds are most impressive here and whatever tastings your choose DO NOT leave without asking to taste the dessert wine that is like chocolate in a glass ! Honestly, wine does not get any better than this. Graveyard has a long tasting list so you can try so many varietals. The location is convenient and the tasting room is comfortable and inviting. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the owners and staff. This place is crazy good so do not miss it !!! Don't let the name spook you away as the California location is located next to an old graveyard. The tasting room here has great retail for all you shoppers who love a good wine related gift.

Dripping Springs Vodka

Located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, Dripping Springs Vodka is made and owned by Dripping Springs Distilling, LLC. Dripping Springs is micro-distilled 20 times in copper pot stills in small 50-gallon batches. It is then mixed with pure, mineral-rich artesian spring water from the Texas Hill Country before a final clarifying slow filtration through Swedish activated charcoal. Dripping Springs is lush and balanced, with a smooth finish. Dripping Springs Vodka won Gold Best in Class and the Vodka Purity Trophy at the International Wine & Spirit Competition in 2008. It is the only American Vodka to have won the Vodka Purity Trophy in 50 years of the IWSC, which is the world’s largest and most prestigious Liquor and Wine competition. While here, you can also sample our Dripping Springs Orange Vodka, Dripping Springs Artisan and Traditional Gins, and our 1876 Straight Texas Bourbons.

Treaty Oak Distilling

Treaty Oak Distillery is named after the famous 500-year old tree in Austin under which Stephen F. Austin signed agreements defining the borders of Texas. In 2016, we moved southwest of Austin to a 28 acre ranch called Ghost Hill located near Dripping Springs. With fun for young & old, our property (open Thurs-Sun) includes a distillery (tours on Saturdays, res required), Alice's Restaurant, a chic dine-in space with an elevated menu focusing on BBQ, sandwiches, salads & sides. Our food truck serves BBQ, tacos & snacks. Our Rickhouse Bar is open to all & our Tasting Room has a science-driven bar. Also, don't miss our bottle shop located adjacent to the distillery. We have live music most weekends & a playground for kids. Leashed dogs are welcome.
