Journey outside of San Antonio to discover the Texas Hill Country. Our first stop will be at the Lyndon B. Johnson Ranch in Johnson City.

Then travel to the German settlement of Fredericksburg. Main Street is the center of the action in Fredericksburg, where you’ll find shops, art galleries, wine-tasting rooms, a brewpub, and more.
