Things To Do
San Antonio River Walk - The Pearl District
• The Vibe: Trendy, culinary-forward, and vibrant. • The Details: Skip the touristy downtown section of the River Walk and head straight to The Pearl. This historic brewery-turned-culinary-hotspot is the crown jewel of San Antonio. You can grab a world-class dinner at restaurants like Cured or Southerleigh, sip a cocktail at the stunning Hotel Emma bar ( Sternewirth), and walk along the quieter, beautifully landscaped northern stretch of the River Walk.
The Shops at La Cantera & The Rim
• The Vibe: Upscale, open-air shopping and vibrant dining (NW San Antonio). • The Details: Located right off I-10 on the Northwest side, this area is a massive hub for great food and atmosphere. The Shops at La Cantera is a gorgeous, palm-tree-lined outdoor mall perfect for a daytime stroll, featuring top-tier shopping and fantastic restaurants like Perry's Steakhouse and Whiskey Cake. Just across the highway is The Rim, which offers even more dining, bars, and entertainment.
Boerne - Hill Country Mile
• The Vibe: Relaxed, historic, and right in our wedding's backyard. • The Details: If you want to keep things local, spend an afternoon wandering down Boerne’s historic Main Street, affectionately known as the Hill Country Mile. It’s packed with great boutiques, antique shops, and fantastic craft breweries. Grab a local pint at The Dodging Duck Brewhaus or Cibolo Creek Brewing Co., or enjoy a cocktail right on the water.
Fredericksburg Wine Country
• The Vibe: The ultimate Texas Hill Country day trip. • The Details: Located about an hour north of Boerne, Fredericksburg is the epicenter of Texas Wine Country (the second most-visited wine region in the U.S.!). Take a scenic drive down Highway 290 and stop at spectacular estates like Signor Vineyards, Grape Creek, or Augusta Vin for a tasting. After a few glasses, head to Fredericksburg's historic Main Street for incredible shopping, German heritage, and great bistros. Pro-tip: Book a local shuttle service like the 290 Wine Shuttle if you want to skip the driving!
