Things To Do
The Grapevine
Our favorite local stop, The Grapevine is a charming winery with plenty of open-air seating and one of the largest selections of Texas wines around. You'll also find Texas craft beers on tap, making it an easy place to stay a while. Settle in outside and enjoy a little live music while you sip.
Gruene Hall
Built in 1878, Gruene Hall is Texas' oldest continually operating dance hall, and a true piece of living history. Its worn wooden floors and open-air charm have hosted generations of music lovers, along with legends like B.B. King, Charley Crockett, Colter Wall, The Dixie Chicks, George Straight, Turnpike Troubadours, and Willie Nelson. Whether you catch a show or simply step inside to soak it all in, a visit to Gruene Hall feels like stepping into the heart and soul of Texas music. **As of January 29th, it is unknown who will be performing for the weekend of our event, but we will update this as soon as we find out.**
Gristmill River Restaurant & Bar
Perched above the river in a beautifully weathered old cotton gin, The Gristmill is our favorite place to eat in Gruene. With hearty Southern comfort food and postcard-worthy views of the water, it's the perfect spot to slow down, settle in, and savor both the meal and the moment.
Gruene Hat Company
Whether you're looking for a statement piece for the wedding, or simply browsing, Gruene Hat Co. is a charming stop filled with beautifully crafted hats and plenty of character. It's the sort of place where you try a hat on for fun and leave with a new favorite and a good story.
Gruene Grove
A true hidden gem, The Gruene Grove is the sort of place that feels discovered, not found. With live music, and upstairs patio bar, German bratwurst, and homemade ice cream, its easy to settle in and stay a while. The bar serves everything from cold beer and fine wines to house cocktails and margaritas. Be sure to wander downstairs to discover the hidden speakeasy, where top-shelf spirits are served in a more intimate, cozy, and old-world atmosphere.
