"The name might’ve tipped you off, but this spot specializes in sotol, a bright, grassy cousin of tequila made from plants found abundantly throughout Hill Country. Start with a tasting of their classic, oak-aged, and seasonal options, then see how the spirit tastes in cocktails like their Sotol-d Fashioned. The space here is beautiful, with a covered patio and plenty of West Texas design that would feel just as at home in Marfa as it does out here. And when you inevitably need something warm and hearty to soak up all the different sotol cocktails, there’s a trailer serving wild-game comfort food, like jalapeño popper dip with shredded quail and duck tinga quesadillas.

Fall Creek Vineyards in Driftwood

Winery · Hays County

In 1973, a trip to France's wine country changed the landscape of Texas wines forever. That was the year native Texans Susan and Ed Auler discovered a love for the rich tradition and complexity of wine. Just a few years later, they opened Fall Creek Vineyards at Tow, the Texas Hill Country's first winery. Many years later, in 2013, they opened Fall Creek Vineyards at Driftwood. As fifth-generation ranchers, the Aulers are committed to good stewardship of the land they love. That's why Fall Creek crafts wines that are 100% terroir-driven -- that is, comprising the land, its clime, and the passion of the winemaker. And the Aulers are indeed passionate about their work, having traveled around the globe to expand their knowledge and perfect their craft. As a result, Texans will find world-class wines right here in the Lone Star State.
