Deep Eddy Vodka moving distillery and operations to Buda
Deep Eddy Vodka has announced plans to relocate its distillery and base of operations from Dripping Springs to Buda.
www.fox7austin.comHere’s what’s known about Deep Eddy Vodka facility closures as of mid-2026.
- Primary development: Heaven Hill Brands announced plans to close the Dripping Springs tasting room and visitor experiences, with production remaining at the Buda facility. The Dripping Springs site will transition to a sublease with another vodka producer, and public-facing operations there will end on a set date in 2026.[1][5]
- Production continuity: All Deep Eddy production continues at the Buda, Texas distillery, which remains the brand’s sole production site. Heaven Hill emphasized there will be no changes to production, staffing, or output in the surrounding area.[4][1]
- Timeline specifics: The Dripping Springs tasting room closure was planned for August 1, 2026, with visitors able to access the site until mid-June 2026 under the existing public access window. After August 1, the site would operate under a sublease to another vodka producer, though the incoming operator had not been publicly announced at the time.[5][1]
- Context: The move appears to reflect a broader focus on Austin-area consumer engagement and partnerships, rather than a shutdown of Deep Eddy’s brand or its Texas production footprint. The Buda facility is described as having substantial capacity and continuing to receive investment for production.[1][4]
