I recently discovered a small piece of heaven right here in the Texas Hill Country. A beautiful, scenic spot with a flowing river, breathtaking sunsets and a fantastic restaurant. Plus, you can stay for a day, a week…however long it takes to unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Tucked just off Highway 290, on a popular stretch of gorgeous countryside sits the Grape Creek Vineyard. For a little bit of Tuscany in Texas look no further than this place for some shade and leisure. It’s here that owner Brian Heath says “wine is the center of the experience.”
Talk about a true Texas legend! Catering with freshly prepared ingredients to a variety of customers, from Hill Country locals all the way to the White House (it’s true!), America has come to know the name of Don Strange.

What a way to enjoy the Texas Hill Country! The fabulous Westin La Cantera recently renovated the resort’s signature bar Steinheimer’s Lounge. And the re-do is worth its weight in gold! There is a very romantic story about the bar’s namesake, Karl Steinheimer. He started out as a pirate. Then, became a miner and he struck gold in Mexico.

How do you like your brisket? Lean and smoky or tender and juicy? Either way, you know you can find it in Texas. I got to join some friends of mine on their “Texas BBQ Road Trip” recently. It was a 12 hour road trip that began north of Austin and ended in between Houston and San Antonio.
Not only is the Boerne Wine Company an amazing destination in charming downtown Boerne, but once you visit here you will have a new-found appreciation for wine. The Boerne Wine Company encourages guests to explore the many different varieties of wines available. For summer, owner Christopher Grossman introduces us to some white wines that are just perfect for warmer weather.
