Dripping Springs is a delightful Hays County city located near Austin, known as the gateway to Texas Hill Country. In recent years, Dripping Springs has become a haven for foodies, home to a plethora of gourmet cuisine options, craft microbreweries, and hip distilleries. Visitors can sample locally-produced extra-virgin olive oil at the Texas Hill Country Olive Company, which has won more awards for its oils than any other Texas company. Live bluegrass music performances are showcased at the Rusty Mule, while open dance lesson times are offered throughout the week at the Mercer Street Dancehall. Beautiful yard art is also on display at the Sol'stice Garden Expressions facility, which showcases three acres of wind and structural garden art.
