Fredericksburg, Texas

Snuggled in the peaceful Texas Hill Country, you’ll find the vibrant small town of Fredericksburg. The first thing you’ll notice is that the entire location is decked out in colorful wildflowers in the spring and summer months.

And since German settlers established the adorable small town you see today, there’s plenty of fine wine and hearty brews to raise your spirits and cool you off on those scorching days. You’ll find this charming town just an hour and a half away from Austin.

So it’s perfect for a quick day trip. But we recommend staying for at least a weekend to truly experience all that Fredericksburg offers.
