Craft distiller of Texas sotol, offering unique cocktails and gourmet snacks
"The distillery is offering free adults-only egg hunts at noon and again at 2 p.m., with winners finding swag, distillery tours, small bottles of their premium sotol, or cocktail coupons—one lucky Golden Egg finder takes home a full bottle. While hunts are free, attendees can enjoy the distillery’s specialty spring cocktail menu available for purchase during the event." - Brittany Britto Garley
"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." - nicolai mccrary, anne cruz

"I saw the sotol distillery’s eclipse party leans into celestial themes with tarot readings, indigo-dying activities, and live music alongside special cocktails, Siete Family Food snacks, Amy’s Ice Creams, and more from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; tickets are $60." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A Hill Country distillery marking its fifth anniversary with a free, multi-day celebration from November 16 through November 20 that will include discounted ranch waters and live music." - Nadia Chaudhury
