The San Antonio River Walk and Marriage Island
There’s nothing in downtown San Antonio as charming as a stroll down the River Walk. Meander hand-in-hand along the San Antonio River and pass by some of the city’s most popular sites. Peruse La Villita or Market Square. Turn up the romance on one of the many bridges. Or save your most intimate moments for Marriage Island, a sought after marriage and engagement spot.
Hill Country Winery Tour
Texas Hill Country is known as much for its rolling hills as it is for the wineries that abound there. Some of Texas’s most beloved wines are produced in the many small towns that make up the Hill Country. From Messina Hof Winery in Fredericksburg to Sister Creek Vineyards in Boerne, you’ll enjoy not only the wines but the Hill Country views and time spent together.
Hike or Picnic at Enchanted Rock
Situated just north of Fredricksburg, Enchanted Rock offers some of Hill Country’s most picturesque viewpoints. Enchanted Rock gets its name from the pink granite dome in the heart of the park. At the park, you can hike, picnic, geocache, and even stargaze (if you stay after dark). Be sure to get there early on the weekends as the park stops welcoming new visitors once they reach capacity.
Golfing
Soak up the Texas sunshine at our championship golf course. Need a little pre-game refresher? Golf lessons and equipment rentals are available, and golfers can stock up on the latest balls and apparel at the pro shop.
Insider tip: after your day at the course, stop by Grille 254 for refreshing drinks and a delicious post-round meal!

Cave Without a Name
Situated northeast of Boerne, Cave Without a Name is widely recognized as one of the most beautiful caves in Texas. Though you can witness the otherworldy rock formations during the day, the cave also hosts various musical events. Attend a concert in the Cave Throne Room and you might ruin yourselves for any other live music venue.
