Driftwood · Bach Weekends
America's sotol distillery — a West Texas desert spirit poured in a stylish Driftwood tasting room.
for the wedding weekend
The bach stop for crews who've done enough wineries: sotol flights, weekend tours, and a rentable event space.
Desert Door distills sotol — a spirit made from a wild-harvested desert succulent, smoother than mezcal and more interesting than another vodka flight — and pours it in a Driftwood tasting room that looks like a West Texas gallery landed in the Hill Country.
For bach parties and wedding crews it's the contrarian pick on a corridor full of wineries and breweries: cocktails and flights most afternoons, distillery tours on weekends (reserve through Tock), and enough design-forward atmosphere to carry the group photos alone.
Planning a bigger gathering? The Rackhouse, the distillery's event space, rents for private events — a credible welcome-party option for weddings at the Driftwood end of the corridor.
