“ The table is a meeting place, a gathering ground, the source of sustenance and nourishment, festivity, safety and satisfaction. A person cooking is a person giving; Even the simplest food is a gift.� Laurie Colwin

"A person cooking is a person giving. Even the simplest food is a gift" are the truest words we have come across about food, chefs, or anyone, for that matter, who takes the time to gather, prepare, and serve food to another.

We have written many times that food is what brings us all together and gives us common ground to share. This is most certainly true. Like our weather, we can all relate! But to look at food as a gift really brings it home for us here in the Texas Hill Country.

When you meet a chef here in Fredericksburg you are meeting someone who is passionate about all the details of your dining experience, from the moment you walk into their restaurant to the moment you leave.

You meet someone with a gift of turning foods, many of them locally sourced, into dishes that will leave you wishing you could enjoy them every day. You also meet someone who not only loves food, but loves to see you enjoy the gift of their vision and background, their deliciously masterful recipes, and a slice of their own culinary genius.

Do you remember serving up a dish you had prepared for someone special, or for a special occasion, with love? That is what we do here in Fredericksburg, Texas every single day, and we invite you to come and gather with the ones you love, and enjoy the gift of food we are waiting to share with you!

Shop

Photo by Anne Traver

“Whoever said money can’t buy happiness didn’t know where to go shopping!” Bo Derek Right, right, right! When it comes to shopping we have to say that this quote is right on the money! Our shop owners search high and low both locally and abroad because they understand that when it comes to you and your home, you want to find pieces that can’t be found on every other person you pass, or in every third home you visit.

People shop here for a different look entirely. A look that will complement and enhance their own personal style. Come with friends and be bold!

Want to throw a zebra patterned hide under a crystal chandelier? Find an original work of art? Fill a cabinet from France with colorful dishes? Burn a candle that smells like peaches or bluebonnets any time of the year? Hang a set of horns over the door? How about a big bold copper mirror over a sink instead of a traditional medicine cabinet?

And while you are out and about why not wear a stunning turquoise squash blossom over a plain back T-shirt with a pair of custom made boots peeking out from the bottom of those jeans? We have all of that. In fact, whatever it is you are searching for Fredericksburg probably has it.

We absolutely, hands down, are most certainly the place you should plan a trip to for the sole intent of shopping alone or with friends, for literally troves of treasure await! Fredericksburg, Texas is a destination for those who wish to bring home something beautifully hand crafted, expertly made, brought across oceans from Europe, or made right here in a local kitchen or shop—one of a kind finds.

So... what are you waiting for? Now you know where to go! Grab a few friends and get here already. We guarantee you that few places are as incredibly satisfying for a day of shopping than our very own, no franchises allowed, bountiful Burg of Fredericksburg, Texas!

Your home comes together here, with distinctive furnishings, elegant accessories and exquisite design, uniquely inspired for extraordinary living.

“Wine and Cheese are ageless companions, like aspirin and aches, or June and moon, or good people and ageless adventures.”

M.F.K. Fisher

Well put! We couldn’t agree more. We might also modestly add that hardly anything goes together quite like fine wines and the Texas Hill Country.

As our reputation for being a top national wine destination grows as rapidly as the vines here in Central Texas, we strive to bring you not only some of the best wines in our nation, but some of the prettiest venues for enjoying those wines as well!

As each wine has its own notes and special qualities, so do our beautiful wineries and tasting rooms that stretch across our countryside, each as unique as the wine that falls into your glass.

Here is where the Bold, Crisp, Beautiful & Sublime Meet with Farmhouses, Castles, Limestone and Vines.

Cherry, Oak, Peach, Divine!

These are the very flavors and backdrop of the Texas Hill Country, a place like none other on earth.

So the next time you decide where to raise a glass to toast your next special event, or just meet with a friend or longtime love, we invite you to come and explore the Texas Hill Country and see what all the fuss is about!

Wine is available in too many places to count, but one thing is certain: if you are looking to make the memory of a lifetime, few places will feed your spirit, fill your glass, and make your cup runneth over like the beautiful countryside of Fredericksburg, TX! Cheers!  

Wine is sunlight held together by water

WINE TASTING TIPS See the Color With your glass tilted to the side check the wine’s color against a white background. A Cabernet Sauvignon should have a deep red color. Chardonnay should be clear and range from almost white to gold. A pale brick shade would suggest a Sangiovese.

Swirl for Bouquet

It’s important to swirl the wine in your glass to release the aromatics responsible for its wonderful aroma. Perhaps you will pick up on chocolate and cherries in a rich red, or sense tropical notes in a Sauvignon Blanc.

Sip and Savour

Chardonnay is full-bodied, creamy, and has an oaky taste from the aged barrels. As for the reds, the Pinot Noir is fruity and light, with a spicy taste; the Merlot is more subtle and smooth; the Cabernet Sauvignon evokes a taste of black currant and dried herbs.

1. 4.0 Wine Cellars 10354 E US Hwy 290 The trifecta of Texas wines--Brennan Vineyards, Lost Oak Winery, McPherson Cellars--can be found at Four Point Cellars. With its sleek and sophisticated tasting room and its true Texas focus, Four Point is not to be missed.

“The planet is a vast and beautiful place, full of exciting and wonderful people.”

Ashlan Gorse Cousteau

Those of us who have traveled this great state of Texas, or beautiful country, or even the globe, know the above to be true. "The planet is a vast and wonderful place, full of exciting and wonderful people."

It is among that very vastness where there are small pockets of people who find themselves together and form communities and places that appeal to many. Communities that take root, grow, and then blossom into astoundingly beautiful places like Fredericksburg, TX. Here in this quaint but cosmopolitan and lovely little German town, nestled deep in the heart of Texas, is a group of people who are in and of themselves quite remarkable. At times, those of us who live here are amazed, and even marvel at, the astounding talents and accomplishments of our acquaintances, friends and neighbors who live here. It is as if the entrance to Fredericksburg is a beacon, one that has always welcomed the talent of the artist, designer, poet, physician, musician, singer songwriter, actor, entrepreneur, and craftsman.

And what is even better? It would be that once settled here, our talented residents instantly find a home with an audience to appreciate and support them in the pursuit of their own dreams.

So! Are you a person with a song in your heart, a novel to write, a house to design, or a story to tell?

If so, we welcome you and your talents here to our sweet town, a place where dreams really do come true—the beautiful and bustling talent-rich town in the middle of The Texas Hill Country.

BOOT RANCH

The finest private club community in Texas is found in the heart of the Hill Country.

Boot Ranch is an artful expression of luxurious Texas ranch-style living located just five miles north of historic Fredericksburg. It is a place where you can hang your hat, lift your spirits and reconnect with family and friends. Members enjoy five-star service, fun activities, and relaxed club camaraderie on more than 2,000 acres of dramatic Hill Country terrain.

Boot Ranch is best known for its acclaimed 18-hole Hal Sutton Signature Golf Course, its award-winning 34-acre golf Practice Park, and the new one-acre Putting Park (the largest green in Texas). But golf is only part of the story that attracts families from throughout Texas and beyond to own property here.

The Clubhouse Village, perched at 2,200 feet of elevation, is the heart of the community. The Clubhouse features fine and casual dining, a wine cellar, locker rooms, fitness and spa facilities. Nearby is the wellmerchandised Golf Shop and ten luxuriously appointed Lodge Suites for members and their guests.

Outdoor pursuits abound at Boot Ranch. You’ll find four heated pools, a pavilion with food and beverage service, lighted tennis and basketball courts, and a playground at the Ranch Club. The new two-mile Longhorn Trail leads to the Lake Club with a swim beach, paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, jumping

platforms and two amazing treehouses. Other recreation options include trap & skeet, biking and fishing in spring-fed lakes.

A multi-generational club membership is included in all property purchases. Boot Ranch offers distinctive homesites from 1/2 to 14 acres, priced from about $300,000. You may design and build a custom home or select from a range of customizable plans.

Condominium residences and shared-ownership Sunday Houses are also offered.

“When you leave a beautiful place you carry it with you wherever you go”

Alexander Stoddard It is true. Once we travel to any given destination the stories that live within us from those days spent discovering belong only to us. That is why travel is a gift.

Each new dot on the map begs a new adventure and each destination we choose to visit has people, places, foods, vibrant sights and distant sounds that delight our senses and open our minds to new ways of thinking and seeing the world. To that end, travel is perhaps the greatest education there is. For traveling is eye opening in ways that a Google Search could never be. Facts come across screens, but when we actually travel, our senses burst with that new experience, our minds can change, and our hearts grow when we take in new people and places around this beautiful planet.

It is true that when we visit new places we can even lose ourselves and find ourselves simultaneously. How great is that?

So be sure, when planning your next grand adventure, to set the stage for your new experience accordingly. Few choices will matter as much in your travels as where you decide to stay, for that place is the very backdrop for your vacation. It’s that first glimpse of waking up, the first breath of somewhere new....

Plan to unpack your bags in a place that suits you, be that a quaint B & B, a luxurious resort, a place under the endless night sky or a room with a breathtaking view for miles. Remember, this place will ultimately become part of your story, the story you create from the moment you put down your suitcase to the day you pack up and leave. One often forgets the details in the every day, but few forget the story of the days spent traveling and discovering.

Come make Fredericksburg, Texas a part of your travels, a gift of time you give to yourself, and discover the beauty of a story only you can recall, remember, and retell; the story of your days spent here in the Texas Hill Country....one you have written, and can carry, wherever you go from here.
