Local Artisan Corporate Gifts — Just 90 Minutes from Austin

Handcrafted in the Texas Hill Country by real chocolatiers. Corporate gifts and experiences for Austin companies that value craft, authenticity, and supporting local.

Austin Companies Do Corporate Gifting Differently

Austin has never been a city that settles for generic. The companies here — from the tech giants that chose Austin as home to the startups building the next big thing — care about authenticity, craftsmanship, and keeping it local. That ethos extends to everything, including how you appreciate your clients and team.

 

So why would you send a mass-produced gift box from a national catalog when there's a world-class artisan chocolatier 90 minutes down the road?

 

Hill Country Chocolate is a bean-to-bar chocolate company in Fredericksburg, Texas — right in your backyard. We handcraft every bonbon, caramel, and confection in small batches, and we've become the corporate gifting partner for Austin companies that want their gifts to reflect the same values they build their businesses on: quality, authenticity, and a genuine story.

Why Austin Companies Choose Hill Country Chocolate

Keep It Local — Really Local

We're 90 minutes from downtown Austin. You're not buying from a faceless national catalog — you're supporting a Texas Hill Country maker. For Austin companies that value their local ecosystem, that matters. And your recipients notice.

Your Logo, Our Chocolate

We can place your company logo directly on our chocolates, creating a branded gift that's as visually impressive as it is delicious. Perfect for client events, onboarding, and executive gifting.

Corporate Experiences — Your Team Is 90 Minutes Away

This is Austin's unique advantage. You're close enough to actually come here.

Bring Your Team to the Factory

Skip the bowling alley and the escape room. Bring your team to Hill Country Chocolate for a private Premier Wine & Chocolate Experience or a hands-on Chocolate Master Class — personally hosted by founder Dan McCoy. It's team building that your people will genuinely enjoy, in a world-class facility in the heart of Texas Wine Country. At 90 minutes from Austin, it's an easy half-day outing. Many groups combine the visit with wine tasting along Highway 290 for a full-day retreat.

Host a Client Appreciation Event

Impress your top Austin clients with something they've never done before. A private chocolate and wine tasting in our Fredericksburg facility — intimate, exclusive, and unforgettable. It's the kind of client event that turns a business relationship into a lasting partnership.

Elevate Your Retreat

Dan McCoy is also the founder of RocketTools.io, a technology consulting company. That means your team retreat can pair a morning chocolate master class with an afternoon session on AI trends, marketing strategy, or business storytelling. A retreat your team will actually reference for months.

Virtual Option for Remote Teams

Have team members who can't make the trip? We also offer Virtual Chocolate Experience Packages — shipped tasting kits paired with a live guided tasting by Dan McCoy.

Perfect for Austin Companies Like Yours

New Employee Welcome Gifts for Tech Companies

Austin's tech companies are hiring fast, and first impressions matter. A handcrafted chocolate welcome gift — with a personalized note from leadership — sets the tone from day one. It says: this company pays attention to the details, and we're glad you're here.

"Buy Local" Client Appreciation

Austin clients appreciate when you support local businesses. Sending Hill Country Chocolate — made 90 minutes away in Fredericksburg — aligns your gifting with the values that Austin's business community cares about. It's a conversation starter, not just a gift.

SXSW & Conference Welcome Gifts

San Antonio's rich Hispanic heritage is part of what makes this city extraordinary. Our Mexican-inspired creations — Champurrado bonbons and Mexican Hot Chocolate — celebrate those traditions with the same respect and craftsmanship we bring to our entire collection. They're gifts that connect on a cultural level, not just a commercial one.

Startup Milestone Celebrations

Closed a funding round? Shipped a product? Hit a revenue milestone? Celebrate with something more meaningful than a Slack emoji. Our gift boxes ship to every team member — wherever they are — with a personalized note marking the moment.

Team Building That Doesn't Feel Forced

Nobody wants another Zoom icebreaker game. But a hands-on chocolate-making class? That's a team experience people actually sign up for. At 90 minutes from Austin, it's the easiest team outing you'll ever plan.
