At the Texas Whiskey Festival, you can taste whiskeys from across Texas without the miles between them. No need to be an expert—everyone belongs here, and curiosity is always welcome. One ticket covers it all, from pours to stories, leaving nothing to chase down. And as glasses clink and laughter builds, you’ll feel it—the ease of connection, the reminder that whiskey’s real magic isn’t just in the glass, but in the people who share it.

Texas distilleries. 100+ whiskeys.
Cigars. Food trucks. Dueling pianos.

🎟️ Single Barrel Tickets – Early access at 4:30 PM, a complimentary cigar, food (while it lasts), and special pours
🥃 Small Batch Tickets – General entry at 5:30 PM

Just outside Austin, minutes from the Hill Country Galleria.

Participating Distilleries include:

• See the ticketing page for the list.

• Is the event inside or outside?

  The festival takes place outside. There are inside spaces to sit.

• What happens if it rains?

  The festival is a rain-or-shine event. Bring an umbrella and a poncho and drink whiskey with us.

• Designated Driver Ticket

  Yes. Designated Driver tickets must accompany a tasting ticket.

  • If the DD is accompanying a Single Barrel (VIP) ticket holder, they may enter at 4:30 PM and access all VIP areas throughout the night.

  • If the DD is accompanying a Small Batch (GA) ticket holder, they may enter at 5:30 PM with their group.

  We take safety seriously. Designated Driver tickets exist to help keep everyone safe, and anyone holding a DD ticket who is found drinking will be asked to leave.

• Can I bring a backpack or Camelbak?

  No, backpacks and camelbaks are not allowed. While we trust our guests come to enjoy the event responsibly, we've had past issues where bottles have gone missing from vendor tables and outside alcohol has been brought in. To maintain the integrity of the event and ensure a safe and fair experience for everyone, we can’t allow items like CamelBaks or large bags that could be used to conceal alcohol or other prohibited items. This policy helps us create a more secure environment for both guests and vendors.

• Buying Tickets for other people

  Yes, you can buy a ticket and give it to someone else. The names don’t have to match, but the person does have to be at least 21 years old.
