The kids are spending the night at grandma's on Saturday, so the husband and I have a day/ night to ourselves. We were thinking of going to Driftwood and touring some wineries, and I've really been wanting to check out Damian Mendola's restaurant out there.

But we really want to enjoy the wine, if you know what I mean, so we don't want to have to drive. Is there a hotel out there? Doesn't have to be big or fancy. I know there are B & B's, but I'm really not a fan of bed and breakfasts.

I would suggest calling the wineries or Damien Mendola's and ask.

Mendola / Duchman Family Winery
13308 FM 150 W
Driftwood, TX 78619-9274
(512) 858-1470

They often host wedding parties with similar concerns. The closest ones that I know of are in Wimberley, with is still a winding road away.



Dripping Springs which is close by lists these:

Business Directory



If Wimberley sounds close enough I suggest some of the options listed here:

tp://www.texashillcountryreservations.com/

Cabins at Smith Creek - Wimberley Texas, Log Cabins, Bed and Breakfast, Tourism and Travel




Otherwise the closest I can see is:

Outpost Motel
26200 RANCH ROAD 12
Dripping Springs, TEXAS 78620
(512) 858-0052

No hotels within a 20 min drive.
Not recommended. You might try to get past the B&B thing just for a night, theres B&B's nearby, they may even come get ya! There's even one in Driftwood but I can only go by the website at to what its like, never been past it. ( http://www.innaboveonioncreek.com/ http://www.thedriftinn.net/ )
There's at least one wine tour svs, maybe they could P/u?
And BTW it is NOT Mandolas anymore, but rahter Duchman Family Vineyard, Mandola only runs the restuarant Lisana.. from what we hear its the same.. some sort of partnership split.

Duchman Vineyards is wonderful, as well as the restaurant. Dripping Springs has 2 vineyards-great wine & atmosphere!
