Epicure

Our search for a good location continues. For those who’ve asked, we do provide food service for small groups at your site in the intervening time until our new location is ready to open but as of right now the search for a new home continues! Happy Easter!

Just a quick update. We continue to look for a new location and hope to tack that down in March. In the meantime we are offering catering for in-home gatherings at our clients’ homes for small to midsize groups. Contact us at 562-595-3305 for details!

Epicure closed its doors in October 2023 in order to look for a space that would better support our future expansion plans and a new business model. We continue to look for a new venue, however, in the meantime, we are doing private pairing dinners at our clients homes. You can contact us through email: [email protected] for pricing, scheduling, etc. We can do custom menus and wine pairings. Upon your requests! Call us at 562-595-3305 or email at [email protected] today!

After a 7 and 1/2 year run, we decided to close Epicure. Our original space at 1025 Cannon Drive simply was not large enough to accommodate future growth.

We are working on a new location here in Dripping Springs, TX but it will be several months until we are able to open the new location. Rather than split our attention between serving guests and trying to ready the new space we decided to close the old space and devote our full attention to the new one in order to bring our guests a largee venue with an exciting and new experience.

To our guests we would like to express our gratitude for your generous patronage over the years. We look forward to serving you again in 2024!

Jerry & Julio

This past Sunday, we were near Fredericksburg and stopped by a new tasting room, "The Edge" featuring the wines of English Newsom. We opted for their Picardan, a crisp white wine made from one of thirteen varietals that may be used to make Chateauneuf du Pape. The venue is stunning, the 2 mile view of the Perdenales was amazing and the foods (black bean hummus and Naan bread, brisket tacos and a cheeseburger with chips were all tasty! Go check them out! While you're there, Michael, Daniel and Luis will take great care of you!

We were soooo close to opening for dinner service and then along comes the Delta Variant and Positivity rates jumped to over 10% in Austin. While we would love to serve everyone that would fit in my very small dining room, we made the call to delay reopening for dinner service. It's not what we want to do but it's the right thing to do.
