PRICE PER PERSON - $689

Fredericksburg is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, an area that welcomes over five million visitors annually.  When it comes to wine country, this part of the state is second only to Napa in the number of oenophiles on a quest to learn more about their favorite diversion.  The Hill Country is currently home to twenty-two wineries, which has helped to make Texas the fifth largest wine producing region in the country.

Here you will find fields dotted with glorious wildflowers, from the Indian Paintbrush to the Bluebonnet, the state flower of Texas.  Take a stroll down Main Street where the German heritage is evident in every storefront.  Turn-of-the-century buildings now house restaurants and quaint, upscale shops.

This culinary getaway is just a little over an hour drive from San Antonio and Austin.  The area is known for its great hospitality and is home to some of the best bed and breakfasts in the state.  You will enjoy gourmet dining, private cooking classes and a fun-filled day in the Texas Wine Country sampling liquid treasures.
