The Texas craft vodka and gin distiller now has two weekend tour times available!
Dripping Springs, TX, July 2, 2015: San Luis Spirits, makers of Dripping Springs Vodka, Dripping Springs Orange Vodka, 1876 Vodka, and Dripping Springs Artisan Gin, announced today that they will start conducting Saturday tours as of July 11, 2015, at their distillery located in the Texas Hill Country off U.S. Highway 290 West at 5330 Bell Springs Road in Dripping Springs, Texas.
San Luis Spirits, Inc. opened their doors for public tours in September of 2014, and continue to offer 3:00 p.m. tastings and tours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Co-founder and CEO Kevin Kelleher said he has thoroughly enjoyed watching their visitors leave as “happy customers,” and said the addition of Saturday tours is simply a means of making the same experience available to “a wider audience.”
The newly available Saturday tours will take place at 12:30 and 2:00p.m and will be conducted by actual San Luis Spirits vodka and gin distillers who oversee the art of small batch distilling.
“I enjoy getting to share our process and small batch philosophy with visitors,” said Rikk Munroe, the distillery’s Production Manager. “It is great to meet our customers face to face and give them a ‘behind-the-scenes’ look into how Dripping Springs Vodka and Dripping Springs Gin is made.”
Perhaps the best known of the four San Luis craft spirits, Dripping Springs Vodka is the only American vodka to win the Gold Best in Class and the prestigious Vodka Purity Trophy at the International Wine and Spirits Competition.
“In a marketing context today the word ‘craft’ is thrown around loosely. While on the tour, people will see the secret to our unique products made in 50-gallon batches with our proprietary copper pot stills,” said Thomas Kingsley, National Sales Director for the distillery. “They will go away with a better understanding of why our customers are so loyal to the brands.”
Any visitors wanting to book a Saturday tour are asked to please purchase their tickets in advance atwww.drippingspringsvodka.com. Tickets cost $10.00 each, and include a distillery tour, tasting, and souvenir tasting glass. Bottles and merchandise may also be purchased on site. Tours will be limited to a 12 person maximum per tour. For special occasions or larger groups please contact the distillery directly at (512) 858-1199.
All San Luis distilled spirits are non-GMO, gluten free, and certified Kosher by the Houston Kashruth Association.

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
