Deep Eddy Vodka heads to the Hill Country with new distillery and tasting room

austin.culturemap.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
-
Deep Eddy Vodka is closing the Dripping Springs tasting room and visitor center later in 2026, with operations at that site transitioning to a sublease to a different distillery. Production remains at the Buda facility, and the brand plans to refocus consumer experiences in Austin. This marks a shift of public-facing activities closer to the brand’s Austin roots while maintaining production in Buda.[2][3][5]
-
The Dripping Springs site will cease as a Deep Eddy facility on August 1, 2026, but visitors can still access the tasting room until mid-June 2026; after that, a new tenant will operate the space under a sublease. Heaven Hill Brands stated there will be no changes to production staffing or output at the Buda operation.[1][4][2]
-
Local outlets indicate the move is part of a deliberate strategy to deepen Austin-focused consumer experiences, events, and partnerships, with ongoing investment in local production and partnerships in Texas.[3][2]
If you’d like, I can pull the most recent updates from local Texas outlets or corporate statements and summarize any timing changes or new tenant details as they’re announced. Would you like me to do that?
