AUSTIN TEXAS
9 CITY GUIDE
Welcome to the 9th Volume of The Scout Guide Austin. Whether you’re a local, a traveler or a recent transplant, we are honored to share with you a collection of the people and places that continue to make Austin a city that reveres creativity, collaboration and most importantly, queso. Founded with a goal to capture and highlight the passion, variety and vibrancy of the local community, The Scout Guide is a publication with a mission to help save small businesses. With the help of this guide, we hope you will join us. The pages of Volume 9 consist of entrepreneurs, makers and artisans who are essential to the culture of this inimitable city. They are jewelers, architects and custom invitation makers, among many other things. Most wear the many hats a small business owner knows far too well, and their products, offerings and work serve as the backbone of our city. It’s a privilege to work alongside the inspiring local businesses of Volume 9. Thank you for being pillars of our community and supporting the network that enables our guide to thrive. The process of putting this book together is a true labor of love, and we wouldn’t be here without the support of the businesses within and the talented photographers. Browse it, display it, share it with your family and friends - but, most importantly, use it to support local — and don’t forget to tell them The Scout Guide sent you!

Central to the wine experience is your glass. It allows you to enjoy your wine – to see its color, to concentrate its aromas to your nose, and to direct its taste across your palate. VoChill is designed to accentuate your wine glass while adding the critical component of temperature control – resulting in the perfect wine experience. No ice or tumbler is required. It’s just you and your perfectly chilled glass of wine with nothing added.
