Spend the morning discovering the beauty of four distinct ecosystems at the Cibolo Nature Center. Dip your toes in the clear waters of the Cibolo Creek under the abundant shade of the Cypress lined banks. Or, stroll along the boardwalk over the marshlands. Tall grass prairies and forest trails make for great hikes. Workshops and education programs are available. Enjoy lunch at one of the local cafés, restaurants, or brewpub.
In the afternoon, head north and visit Sisterdale and Luckenbach. Sisterdale is home of Sister Creek Vineyards, located in an 1885 cotton gin where Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot wines are produced. Winery tours and tastings are available 7 days a week.
After a 20 minute ride along a back road through the breathtaking Hill Country, stop in Luckenbach where "Everybody is Somebody!" Established in 1849 as a trading post, and made famous by Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings' hit song, Luckenbach is 10 acres with a General Store, dance hall, and a "beer joint," all surrounded by huge oaks and two creeks. Dances are held monthly with performers that include Jerry Jeff Walker, Pat Green, Gary P. Nunn and Ray Wylie Hubbard.
Day 3
History is the subject of the morning. Boerne boasts over 140 historical structures, many of which are accessible to the public. Start at the Ye Kendall Inn, an 1859 Stagecoach stop that is now one of the city's premier lodging destinations. Grab a cup of joe at the Coffee Café located inside and take a tour of the grounds. One block down is the Boerne Public Library, housed in the historic Dienger building. There you can view a copy of a Bible written in low German that dates back to 1614, one of few remaining in the entire world.
Cross over Main Street and see the old school, the old jail, and the old courthouse. To complete your day--if you like to combine your history with shopping and dining--head south on Main Street. Most of the shops, cafes, and restaurants are in historic buildings. Enjoy our part of Texas Hill Country. Ye ha!!
