Keeping It Country

Real Country and Fun

The next place I am taking you is somewhere close and convenient that can be a quick day trip. Its the beautiful city of Fredericksburg, Texas. Known for their wine tasting of course!

Located not that far from San Antonio, part of the Texas Hill Country, its about an hour and half away. There is not that much to do but it is still such a beautiful place to go and just explore.

The main street is filled with antique shops, restaurants and places to go wine tasting and they do allow you to consume alcohol outside on the street.

One place to go to if you want a quick drink of something casual is Margarita Monkey to-go. They have choice of blended drinks such as piña coladas, margaritas and daiquiris. They put them in a styrofoam cup to go and you can just sip and go. Its awesome. 

One of my favorite places to go is sort of like a vintage Ice Cream Parlor. They serve ice cream, coffee and deserts and always have the movie Grease playing to give the old school vibe. Its delicious and pretty cheap. 

The peanut butter section of Rustling Bobs in Fredericksburg,Tx.

                                                                    

There is also a place called Rustlin Bobs that is pretty cool. It has homemade peanut butters, salsas, fudge, honey and jerkys. Theres over 100 items and you can sample a lot of them. There are some hot sauces in a back room that you literally have to fill out a waiver to but because they are allegedly so spicy and hot that you can get sick from. Since I am not a spicy person I stick with the peanut butters. My favorite is chocolate and honey flavor. It is so good especially on a PB&J. 

I am not much of a wine drinker but I have been to some places in Fredrickburg where you can taste different wines and beers from all over. They have wineries close by and let you sample the local craft beer in some places. This city is also known for having some of the best peaches. Which is so true I get a box every time I go. They are delicious and locally grown. If you ever have a day where the sun is out and have nothing planned grab your friends, or even if you want to go alone and take the trip to Fredericksburg. Make sure you go on an empty stomach so you can enjoy the food and then have a few drinks and then shop to sober up. No drinking and driving.
