About This Adventure

About:

Start the day by having a private ride pick you up from the location of your choice where you can BYOB to get the party started the second you're on board.

Your first stop will be a can't miss destination: Treaty Oak Distillery. On this breathtaking 28 acre historic ranch, Treaty Oak offers a wide variety of drinks. Gin, whiskey, wine, beer, cider, food, you name it...Treaty Oak has it. You will also have the option to book a reservation at their on-site eatery "Alice's Restaurant" for a sit down meal to go with your drinks.

After that, your ride takes you to Dripping Springs Distillery where your taste bud's desires, whatever they are, can be met. Whether it's true Texas bourbon, botanical gin, or micro-distilled vodka, Dripping Springs Distillery is sure to please.

Your last stop will be Desert Door Distilling. Made by hand from wild-harvested West Texas sotol plants, Desert Door Original Texas Sotol is a premium spirit that tastes unquestionably of the land. Enjoy the only sotol distillery in the U.S. by trying a taste of multiple variations while a trained staff member educates you on the unique process, or just sit and sip a signature cocktail.

You will then be on your way back to your pick up location and everyone will have pictures (and buzz) to prove that you fully Tasted and Toured the Texas Hill Country.
