Meet the founders

Two founders. One standard.

Veronica and Augusto Fossi founded Uphill Taps in 2022 — a husband-and-wife team rooted in hospitality. From private estates in Dripping Springs to downtown launches with Meta, every event is shaped by them personally and executed by a trusted bartending team trained to their standards. The standard travels with the team.

Veronica

From the inquiry to the final detail.

Veronica leads creative direction and client experience — from the first inquiry through the final aesthetic details on the day. She makes sure the bar belongs in the room: integrated with the florals, the lighting, and the feeling the couple or planner has worked to create.

— Co-founder · Beverage Program

Augusto

The drink program and the day itself.

Augusto leads the beverage program and on-site execution. A hospitality veteran, he handles every operational detail — the custom cocktail design, staffing, setup, service flow, and breakdown — so the day runs exactly as planned.

One standard, three formats,
told by the people who hired us.

· 01 ·

— Tap Bar · Wedding

The Piaggio was the centerpiece of cocktail hour, and somehow also the fastest bar service I've ever seen at a wedding. Veronica and Augusto walked us through every detail beforehand — by the day of, we didn't have to think about a single thing.

— Satellite Bar · Corporate

We had a Q4 team happy hour for 85 people and I was worried the bar would be a bottleneck. Two satellite stations later, no bottleneck. Multiple coworkers messaged me the next day asking for the contact.

— Onsite Bar · Wedding

Our venue had a beautiful built-in bar and we just needed someone to bring it to life. Uphill Taps showed up with the cocktail program dialed in, garnishes prepped, everything. By the end of the night the bartenders knew half our guests by name.

Common questions

A few good questions, answered.

The most useful conversations usually start with a few practical details. If you don't see your question, send a note — Veronica or Augusto reads every inquiry.

Send us your question
What areas do you serve in central Texas?
Austin and the Texas Hill Country — including Dripping Springs, Wimberley, Fredericksburg, Driftwood, and Spicewood. We travel for the right event.
Do you provide alcohol?
No. Per Texas law, the host purchases all alcohol. We help you figure out exactly how much to order so nothing runs short and nothing goes to waste — try our free Alcohol Calculator.
Are your bartenders TABC-certified?
Yes. All service is handled by TABC-certified bartenders trained to our standards.
How far in advance should we book?
Most weddings book us six to twelve months out. Corporate events and private parties often work on shorter timelines. Reach out — we'll tell you what's open.
Which format is right for our event?
Outdoor venues with space lean toward the Piaggio. Indoor or downtown events lean toward Satellite Bars. Venues with built-in bars lean toward Onsite Bartending. Tell us about your venue and we'll guide you.
What's included in your service?
The bar (Piaggio, satellite, or your venue's), the bartending team, mixers, garnishes, ice, and a custom cocktail menu. We handle setup, service, and tear-down. You handle the alcohol — we'll tell you what to buy.
