10 days in New Braunfels & Wheeling Itinerary

Built upon the back of an older cotton-producing town called Gruene, New Braunfels pays tribute to its heritage by maintaining part of the historical town--its post office, general store, and dance hall among other buildings--inside the city limits.

Get out of town with these interesting New Braunfels side-trips: Garrison Brothers Distillery (in Hye), Fredericksburg (Wildseed Farms, Grape Creek Vineyards, &more) and Old Blanco County Courthouse (in Blanco). There's lots more to do: contemplate the waterfront views at Landa Park, see a world frozen in time at Gruene Historic District, take in the exciting artwork at Barn Pottery, and do a tasting at Water 2 Wine.
