The tour starts with the hum of tires on I‑35 and the skyline shrinking behind you as live oaks lean over the two‑lane roads into the Texas Hill Country. Guests settle into an air‑conditioned vehicle while the driver sketches a loose plan: a stop at an historic Austin distillery, a short spin out to Dripping Springs for cocktails, and an afternoon at a working farmhouse brewery with pizza ovens and grazing goats.
