Top Reasons To Go to the Hill Country

  • Fredericksburg: An afternoon on this favorite town's Main Street will likely net a collection of shopping bags, a hearty German meal, and a few samplings of German beer and Texas wine.
  • Scenic Drives: Some of the most spectacular views can be experienced from the seat of a car, or the back of a Harley, if you prefer. Though most of the land along the roadside is private, you will not be hampered from enjoying many a breathtaking vista from the endless roads traversing the region.
  • Gruene: It may only be the size of an average city block or two, but this little town packs quite a punch. Live-music fans must pay homage to the famed Gruene Hall and catch an evening show. Be sure to grab a burger, cold beer, and the sunset on the Guadalupe River at the Gristmill before hitting the hall.
  • Enchanted Rock State Park: Who wouldn't be curious about scaling the face of a massive pink rock protruding to an elevation of 1,825 feet? Camping, hiking, and rock climbing are also popular attractions at this legendary state park.
  • Wine: Set out on a journey down the Texas Wine Trail and taste for yourself why some wine critics see a robust and full-bodied future for Hill Country wine.
