Park reservations required especially during weekends. Beautiful drive through the Texas hill country and close by charming, historic Fredericksburg that has a strong German heritage. Hike to the top of Enchanted Rock and see 360 views.
Favorite wineries in Stonewall, TX, outside of Fredericksburg, TX. 40 minute drive from Boerne. Bride's favorite wines are: Summer Rose from Arrowhead Creek (seasonal, but you can ask and they may have a bottle in the back) and Cabernet Sauvignon from Ab Astris. Both wineries have seating outside. Arrowhead Creek is on the water and Ab Astris is surrounded by beautiful oak trees and feels very intimate.
State park where fall foliage can be seen. November is when color starts to show!! *Park reservations required especially during the busy time in the fall. HIGHLY recommend booking reservation in advance. Check the state park website regularly for updates on foliage. Beautiful park and hiking even if fall colors are lower for the year.
Nature center with access to tranquil Cibolo Creek and serene surroundings and walking trails.
Local brewpub with great beer, food, and relaxed atmosphere. Old house on main street with inside and outdoor seating. Inside is charming that has local artists' work handing on walls. Bride's go-to order is the Boerne Blonde beer, chips and queso, and BLT sandwich.
San Antonio staple mexican food opened Boerne location this summer. They do not take reservations however so may be a wait. But plenty of front patio space and can grab a margarita to enjoy while waiting. Owners renovated beautiful residential home and built big outdoor patio. Patio faces the west and can eat dinner as the sun goes down. Bride's favorite is Nacho Compuestos and El Favorito.
Forever a Boerne staple for pastries and coffee. Lines can get long but moves quickly! Bride loves the apricot squares and scones.
Recommend these spots to try breakfast tacos, a Texas staple!
German heritage festival with lots of food and beer! Begins Friday Nov 3 in New Braunfels.
Beautiful resort with golfing & disc golf and onsite bar and restaurant. Also lodging.
