Boerne, Texas, a charming Hill Country destination just 30 miles northwest of San Antonio, is open and ready to welcome visitors with an elevated dining scene and the anticipated opening of a new winery, Missick Cellars. While recent flooding has impacted portions of the Texas Hill Country, Boerne remains vibrant, offering a refined yet relaxed escape for travelers seeking culinary and hospitality experiences.
Missick Cellars, Boerne's newest winery, is set to open its doors to the public after a successful soft opening. Led by winemaker Chris Missick, the winery offers guests the rare opportunity to book a private wine tasting experience directly with the winemaker, providing a personal, hands-on experience that goes beyond a typical Hill Country tasting room. Missick Cellars has already earned recognition on the international stage, recently winning an award at an international wine competition, a testament to the quality and craft behind every bottle. 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 Texas Hill Country food destination, featuring restaurants with elevated dining experiences that rival metropolitan scenes while retaining the warmth and character of a historic small town. The Kendall Restaurant, housed within an 1859 landmark on the banks of Cibolo Creek, delivers a sophisticated farm-to-table fine dining experience that showcases the culinary flavors of the Texas Hill Country. Cypress Grille, a local favorite known for its refined American cuisine, pairs seasonal ingredients with expert preparation and offers legendary BBQ Sundays and Wine Wednesdays with bottles at 40% off. The restaurant is also expanding and will open a new bar space this fall. Valeria brings upscale European dining to the Hill Country, with Chef Keith Kuhn crafting a seasonally evolving menu rooted in authentic European cuisine. Guests can book curated wine dinners or hands-on cooking classes for an immersive culinary experience.
Boerne's elevated dining extends beyond the table, making it an ideal food destination for a complete weekend retreat. The Kendall Hotel, a boutique inn with 34 individually designed rooms, offers historic character and genuine Hill Country comfort steps from Main Plaza. Art Spa House, a premium day spa on Boerne's 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 and discover what makes Boerne one of Texas's most sought-after culinary destinations.'
