Giancarlo & Grayson
Things To Do
Treaty Oak Distilling
Treaty Oak's Tasting Room has great craft cocktails made with whiskey and gin distilled in Texas Hill Country (Carlo loves using their Antique Gin when he mixes a Negroni at home). If you're hungry, Alice's Restaurant on-site makes delicious comfort food for lunch and dinner.
Rolling In Thyme & Dough
Fresh baked banana bread, just out of the oven? Yes please! We always stop by for pastries and coffee, or brunch (we love their sandwiches and homemade soup). Dine in or out depending upon your mood (and the weather!).
Desert Door Distillery
If you love tequila, but wished it had vodka's versatility, then you need to try the only sotol distillery outside of Mexico. You won't regret an expert-guided tasting tour (Gray loves their Grapefruit Paloma) in their desert-modern bar, and a peak behind the scenes of how they create this nuanced spirit.
Mazama Coffee Co
Stop by and enjoy a latte at this local coffee house, bakery + roastery. Raised in the Texas Hill Country, Mazama Coffee Co hand selects only the finest beans from around the world and roasts them in historic downtown Dripping Springs under the spreading oak tree.
Hawk's Shadow Estate Winery
Visit to sample an intriguing flight of handcrafted Texas wine and stay for sweeping views of the hill country.
Gabrick Barbecue
No trip to Texas is complete without a stop at a top-tier bbq place! Kill two birds with one trip, and also visit Last Stand Brewing Company next door.
Last Stand Brewing Company
We aren't big beer people, so you shouldn't trust our opinion about this local brewery. Do trust that we are lazy though, so with great bbq next door and innovative gin cockatils a stone's throw away (Revolution Spirits Distillery), this afternoon threesome gets 2 thumbs up.
Pedernales Falls State Park
I know what you're thinking, "Are drinking and eating all that Grayson and Carlo do when they are in Texas Hill Country?" Yes, but if you're the outdoorsy, healthy lifestyle type (why are we friends?), then here's a quick day trip for you to enjoy!
Hamilton Pool Preserve
Worth a trip for the 'gram pic alone! This natural pool was created when the dome of an underground river collapsed due to massive erosion thousands of years ago. This popular spot is by reservation only, so make sure to go to https://parks.traviscountytx.gov/reservations and make a reservation ASAP
