Need to get out of the city for few days? If you live in San Antonio, Texas, you’re in luck. San Antonio is South Texas’s gateway to the Texas Hill County, a popular destination rich in natural beauty and world-class wineries. In this post, we’ll look at three charming Hill Country towns perfect for a weekend trip from San Antonio: Wimberley, Fredericksburg, and Dripping Springs. Moreover, we’ll introduce you to some of the region’s best boutique accommodations, where you can immerse yourself in the stark beauty of the Texas Hill Country without sacrificing the comforts of home. Let’s hit the road!
If serenity, natural beauty, and a slower pace are what you’re looking for on your weekend trip from San Antonio, look no further than Wimberley. Located just one hour from San Antonio, Wimberley promises a tranquil escape from the city complete with small-town charm, a laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere, quaint local markets, sleepy swimming holes, and of course, stunning Hill Country views.
Onera Wimberley quietly amplifies Wimberley’s serene, nature-forward vibes with treehouse-inspired accommodations and outdoor amenities such as walking trails and an infinity-edge pool. But if you think you’re going to be roughing it, think again; this landscape hotel is decidedly modern. Stay connected with free property-wide WiFi. Stay comfortable with heating and AC in every unit. Efficiency kitchens let you enjoy wholesome meals without breaking the bank, while private soaking tubs let you prioritize self-care.
It might be called Dripping Springs, but the tap never runs dry in this hidden Hill Country gem. Located 70 to 90 minutes from San Antonio, Dripping Springs is home to some of America’s most popular breweries and distilleries. So, if wine isn’t necessarily your thing, don’t worry; there’s more to the Texas Hill Country than vino. Hop on the Dripping Springs distillery trail, and treat yourself to a tasting tour of the Hill Country’s harder stuff. Everything is spread out and accessible via backroads, so the distillery trail is as scenic as it is buzz-worthy. Texas Tipsy Tours offers a six-hour bus tour, but you can always take the tour at your own pace. Just be sure you have a designated driver!
Sometimes a weekend trip is more than a last-minute whim. Sometimes, it’s the biggest weekend of your life! If you’re looking for a wedding venue near San Antonio, it’s hard to beat The Liney Moon. This full-buyout property has room for you, your bride or groom to be, and both sides of the family! A gorgeous outdoor ceremony site makes a picture-perfect backdrop against which to exchange your vows, while the outdoor bar provides a great spot to gather during your reception. The Liney Moon comprises three distinct areas – Stellar House (sleeps 22), Triplets (sleeps 18), and Horseshoe Cottages (sleeps 20) – with accommodations that are a mix of industrial-chic style and modern comfort.
For travelers who want to cram as much fun into their itinerary as possible, Fredericksburg is the definitive weekend trip from San Antonio. Located an hour and 15 minutes from the city, this lively Hill Country town promises a full weekend, with outdoor adventures galore, a rich sense of culture and history, and of course, great wine. Take a stroll down Main Street through Fredericksburg’s historic district, whose stone-built shops and restaurants – erected by Fredericksburg’s German pioneers in the mid-1800s – stand as a testament to German craftsmanship. Alternatively, hit the 290 Wine Trail, which runs directly through town. Looking for something more active? Enchanted Rock State Natural Area is a treasure trove of outdoor activities, from hiking to biking to bird watching and more.
Like its sister property in Wimberley, Onera Fredericksburg is a landscape hotel that immerses you in the Hill Country wilderness while providing everything you need for a comfortable stay. Where Onera Fredericksburg stands out, however, is in its variety. While Onera Wimberley only offers two types of accommodations, this hotel boasts no fewer than 20 unique units, ranging from treehouses to container homes to geodesic domes, to an optional-full-buyout lodge with room for two to 16 guests. Every unit comes thoughtfully appointed with home-like amenities such as kitchenettes, soaking tubs, AC, and WiFi. Moreover, Onera Fredericksburg offers a range of communal amenities to enhance your stay, including a community pool and sauna, Dark-Sky star gazing, and more.
