Inside the Dripping Springs tasting room, the pace now feels like a countdown. Visitors can still stop in until 13 June, but deep eddy vodka is preparing to close that chapter this summer as the site shifts to a new tenant.
The move marks a practical change for a place that has long carried more than one role: brand home, visitor stop and symbol of a growing distillery footprint. Production of deep eddy vodka will continue at the company’s main distillery in Buda, Texas, even as the Dripping Springs property prepares for a handoff later in the season.
What is changing at the Dripping Springs site?
The Dripping Springs tasting room will close in June, and visitors can continue to come through 13 June. The new owner is set to take over the site from 1 August, and the transition means the property will no longer serve the same role for deep eddy vodka that it has held since the brand home was established there.
The site was originally Deep Eddy’s distillery and later added a visitor centre. Heaven Hill Brands, which owns the brand, had said the property would be transitioned to another vodka distillery this summer, but did not identify the incoming tenant when that announcement was made. That gap has now been filled: Goodnight Loving Vodka has emerged as the brand taking over the visitor centre.
Why does the new tenant matter?
Goodnight Loving Vodka is not just occupying a building; it is stepping into a facility that has been shaped by years of investment and brand identity. The 30, 000 square-foot site includes a tasting room and visitor experience, giving the incoming brand a ready-made setting for public visits once it opens.
Tim Osburn, CEO and co-founder of Goodnight Loving Vodka, said the company is “thrilled to expand our footprint into Dripping Springs” and described the facility as one that will help showcase its product. He also said the brand looks forward to welcoming guests into its new home.
How does this fit into a bigger business shift?
The change reflects a broader redistribution of operations rather than a shutdown. Production of deep eddy vodka will continue in Buda, while the Dripping Springs site becomes home to another distillery. Heaven Hill has invested millions into the Dripping Springs property since acquiring the brand in 2015, underscoring that the site remains a business asset even as its purpose changes.
For Goodnight Loving Vodka, the move signals growth. Founded in 2020 by father-and-son co-founders Tim and Timothy Osburn, the brand says it hopes to produce more than one million cases per year when it settles into its new home. The company also says the new setup will bring its full “spring-to-bottle” production under one roof for the first time.
What do the brands say about the future?
Goodnight Loving Vodka’s product story is tied to its own spring source on a family ranch in Mason, Texas, where it says it uses pure artesian spring water. The vodka is made from American corn, distilled seven times and filtered. It sits at 40% ABV, is naturally gluten-free and has no sugar added.
One detail remains unsettled: the company’s official opening date for public visits has not been scheduled. That leaves the Dripping Springs site in a brief in-between period, where one brand is winding down its visitor room while another prepares to take shape inside the same walls.
For now, the scene is simple. Guests can still walk into the Dripping Springs tasting room until 13 June, but after that, deep eddy vodka will belong more to memory than to the front counter. By 1 August, the property is expected to open another chapter, with a new name on the door and a new story starting where the old one left off.
