Boerne, Texas, is positioning itself as a premier culinary destination in the Texas Hill Country, offering visitors elevated dining experiences and a new winery, Missick Cellars, set to open its doors. Despite recent flooding impacting parts of the region, Boerne remains open and vibrant, ready to welcome travelers seeking a refined yet relaxed escape just 30 miles northwest of San Antonio.
Missick Cellars, Boerne's newest winery, is preparing to open 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, a personal and hands-on experience that goes beyond the 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's culinary scene rivals metropolitan areas while retaining small-town warmth. The Kendall Restaurant, housed within the historic 1859 landmark The Kendall on the banks of Cibolo Creek, delivers a sophisticated farm-to-table fine dining experience showcasing local flavors. Cypress Grille, a local favorite for refined American cuisine, offers seasonal ingredients and expert preparation in an inviting atmosphere. The restaurant is known for its legendary BBQ Sundays and Wine Wednesdays, with bottles at 40% off from 5-9 p.m. Cypress Grille is 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 rooted in authentic European cuisine. Guests can 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, offers historic charm steps from Main Plaza and the historic Hill Country Mile. Art Spa House, a premium day spa, 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 elevated dining, wine, lodging, and relaxation offerings. Whether it's a romantic escape, a girlfriends' getaway, or a foodie weekend, Boerne delivers an experience that is both elevated and authentically Texan.
