Whether you're planning a romantic weekend or a fun getaway with friends, our carefully curated routes showcase the best local spots and flavors.

This past weekend, we embarked on one of our favorite tours, hitting some incredible stops that truly capture the spirit of Hill Country. Here’s the full itinerary — and if you like what you see, you can easily book or customize a tour like this with us.

Start: Cozy New Airbnb in Wimberley

Our journey began at a new Airbnb in Wimberley, TX — a peaceful and private retreat nestled in the Texas Hill Country hills. It’s the perfect place to relax and prepare for a day of adventure. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend or longer, staying here adds an authentic local touch to your trip.

Stop 1: Dripping Springs Distillery — Lavender Vodka & Wood-Fired Pizza

First stop was the well-known Dripping Springs Distillery, famous for crafting small-batch spirits that capture Texas flavor. Their new Lavender Vodka offers a smooth, floral taste that pairs perfectly with their signature wood-fired pizza. This unexpected combo was a hit for everyone on the tour!

Stop 2: Ghost Note Brewing — Tropical Guavatar Fruited IPA

Next, we visited Ghost Note Brewing to sample their refreshing Guavatar Fruited IPA. This American IPA balances bright pink guava flavors with a clean, citrusy hop profile — a perfect brew for a hot summer day in Texas.

Stop 3: The Shady Llama — Rotating Taps & Relaxed Vibes

A local favorite, The Shady Llama offers a constantly rotating tap list, so you’re always in for a surprise. Their laid-back atmosphere and friendly staff make it a must-visit for craft beer lovers and anyone looking to unwind with great drinks and company.

Stop 4: Middleton Brewing — Saturday Night Trivia & Birria Tacos

Our final stop was Middleton Brewing, where we enjoyed their lively Saturday Night Trivia and some of the best beer in the region — including the Crossvine IPA and Juicy Visions IPA. And if you love tacos, their famous birria tacos are a must-try, often called some of the best in Texas.
