Austin, Texas (Days 1, 2, & 3)

Austin’s official motto is the “Live Music Capital of the World” and you’ll experience plenty of it at some of the best craft breweries and bars in the USA. Your tour will start with a meet-and-greet where you’ll get to meet your tour guides and your new drinking buddies.

We’ll take you to the famous Rainey Street where you’ll get to experience Bangers Beer Garden and choose from 207 draft beers and another 50 in cans & bottles (not to mention homemade sausage and giant German pretzels) as well as several other iconic watering holes with that unique Austin vibe.

You’ll visit world-renowned breweries to taste some of the best and most unique local beers and indulge in some of Austin’s most delicious barbecue in a rustic, truly Texan BYOB joint.

In Austin you’ll spend three nights at a highly-rated hotel right on Rainey Street near a plethora of fine Texas food trucks and popular watering holes.

Fredericksburg, Texas (Days 4, 5, & 6)

With over 50 wineries in the Fredericksburg area alone and 100 more in the wider region, the Texas Wine Country is the second largest in the United States (after Napa Valley). With its distinctly German influence, Fredericksburg, Texas is one of the most unique wine destinations in the world.

In Fredericksburg your tastebuds will be rewarded with a private tour of 3 local wineries (+ 1 beer garden) where you’ll get to taste some of the best beverages Texas has to offer. You’ll also get to experience Fredericksburg’s German roots with dinner at one of the area’s most iconic German eateries.

Here, you’ll spend three nights at Fredericksburg’s most premier inn, on a beautiful Hill Country property within walking distance of the town’s most popular attractions.

Luckenbach Half-day Trip on Day 5

With an official population of just 3, Luckenbach is one of the most unique places you will ever visit (and is just a 15-minute drive from Fredericksburg). This quintessentially country Texan town takes you back in time where you can experience its working saloon, lively dance hall, general store, and major ghost town, Old West vibes.

You’ll need your cowboy boots for this one as Luckenbach is famous for its live country music and boot-scootin’ atmosphere. You’ll be raising beers in true Texas fashion.

Check out from Hotel (Day 7)

On this day of the tour we’ll check out of the hotel in Fredericksburg and head back to Austin at noon.

Your Lone Star Taste tour has ended but that doesn’t mean the fun has to end! There are countless more great places to eat, drink, and boogie here–so if you’re looking for a little more time in Texas on your own, additional nights can be arranged.
