You’re standing at the threshold of something extraordinary. Close your eyes and imagine it: Over 30 Texas whiskey distilleries. Festoon lights glow softly above a gravel street, the air rich with the scent of barrel-aged cigars and sizzling fare from food trucks. Join us outside Austin at the historic Star Hill Ranch near the Hill Country Galleria. Rain or shine, this is your chance to explore the bold flavors of Texas, surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Hill Country and the vibrant energy of whiskey enthusiasts from across the nation.
This isn’t just a festival—it's an initiation into Texas Whiskey. More than 100 whiskeys, each pour a story, each sip a revelation. Makers with calloused hands and bold visions share their craft, while treasures like custom hats and barrel stave art await discovery.
This isn’t just about whiskey. It’s about community, connection, and celebration. Enjoy the vibrant atmosphere with live music, vendors, and a lively concert to cap the night. Savor local fare from food trucks and bask in the camaraderie of fellow whiskey lovers.
For our out-of-state guests, this is more than a festival—it’s a Texas getaway. Conveniently located near Austin, you’ll have access to world-class shopping, renowned dining, and the stunning landscapes of the Hill Country. Extend your stay and explore the heart of Texas while immersing yourself in the state’s whiskey culture.
So gather your friends, secure your tickets, and prepare for an unforgettable night. Whether you’re here to discover new flavors, deepen your appreciation for the art of whiskey, or simply enjoy a fantastic evening, the Texas Whiskey Festival promises an experience like no other.
