Boerne, Texas, is inviting visitors to experience its refined culinary scene and the anticipated opening of Missick Cellars, a new winery in town. Despite recent flooding in parts of the Texas Hill Country, Boerne is open and ready to welcome guests with a range of elevated dining options, boutique lodging, and spa services, making it an ideal weekend getaway destination just 30 miles northwest of San Antonio.
Wine enthusiasts have a new reason to visit Boerne with the upcoming public opening of Missick Cellars. After a successful soft opening, the winery, led by winemaker Chris Missick, offers guests the rare opportunity to book a private wine tasting experience directly with the winemaker. Missick Cellars has already earned recognition on the international stage, recently winning an award at an international wine competition. The winery will welcome guests in a beautifully designed space that reflects the character of the Texas Hill Country.
Boerne has emerged as a premier food destination in the Hill Country, featuring restaurants that rival metropolitan dining scenes while retaining small-town warmth. The Kendall Restaurant, housed within the 1859 landmark The Kendall on Cibolo Creek, offers a sophisticated farm-to-table fine dining experience showcasing local flavors. Cypress Grille, a local favorite known for refined American cuisine, features seasonal ingredients and expert preparation, with popular events like BBQ Sundays and Wine Wednesdays offering bottles at 40% off. Cypress Grille is also expanding and will open a new bar space this fall. Valeria brings upscale European dining to Boerne, with Chef Keith Kuhn crafting a seasonally evolving menu that includes seafood, artisanal pizzas, house-made pasta, and grass-fed steaks. Guests can also book curated wine dinners or hands-on cooking classes for an immersive experience.
Boerne's elevated dining extends beyond the table, making it ideal for a complete weekend retreat. The Kendall Hotel, a boutique inn with 34 individually designed rooms and four event venues, offers historic character and Hill Country comfort steps from Main Plaza. Art Spa House, a premium day spa on the historic Hill Country Mile, provides customized treatments including relaxation massages and organic facials.
"Boerne's doors are wide open and our restaurant and hospitality community is ready to deliver unforgettable experiences," said Tori Bellos, Visit Boerne Marketing Specialist. "From world-class fine dining to our newest winery, there has never been a better time to plan a Hill Country getaway."
Visitors are encouraged to plan a weekend getaway to experience Boerne's full range of elevated dining, wine, lodging, and relaxation offerings, whether for a romantic escape, a girlfriends' getaway, or a foodie weekend exploring the Texas Hill Country's best food destination.
