Desert Door Distillery

hfadmin — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 19:24:41 +0000

Made by hand in Driftwood from wild-harvested West Texas sotol plants, Desert Door Original Texas Sotol is a premium spirit that tastes unquestionably of the land. The sweet citrusy and herbal flavor is reminiscent of a desert gin crossed with a smooth sipping tequila.

Come enjoy expert-guided tastings of our core offerings and craft cocktails to discover the alluring nuances of Sotol in our desert-modern tasting room, featuring a cozy fireplace, comfy couches, outdoor patio, and live music on the weekends.

BITES

Lo Salvaje (loosely translated, “The Wild”) is the brainchild of James Beard award winner Jesse Griffiths and Spoke Hollow Steward, Josh Crumpton, and is helmed by chef Stephanie Stackhouse. The concept was born from a desire to bring locally sourced ingredients and wild-game-inspired fare to a broader audience. The menu at Lo Salvaje is deliciously inventive – think street tacos meets haute cuisine with a wild game flair.

Food truck is open Thursday 4-8 pm, Friday & Saturday 12-8 pm, Sunday 12-6 pm.

Welcome to FALL CREEK Vineyards planted in 1975 as the first Texas Hill Country winery! Our family’s heritage is deeply rooted for 5 generations as ranchers, always providing good stewardship of the land we so love.

We produce benchmark wines to stand shoulder to shoulder with the notable wines of the world. Our mission is well stated by Director of Winemaking at Fall Creek Vineyards, Sergio Cuadra, who said, “I did not come here to make great Texas wines, instead I came here to make great, world-class wines that just happen to grow in Texas!” Judging by the flood of accolades and awards, FALL CREEK Vineyards is doing just that!

Our tasting is an experience of 5 carefully preselected wines that are sure to pique your interest. Tasting Experience is $20.00/person.
