A Taste of Texas, Done Right

Fredericksburg’s dining scene, once dominated by the German roots of the town, has evolved into a much more diverse collection of restaurants mixing European influences with Texas ingredients, and producing menus built around what’s growing, grazing and being made nearby. Local produce takes centre stage throughout the year with seasonal menus, farmers markets, food festivals and even peach harvesting, there’s plenty to taste and discover across the Gillespie County.

Farm to Table Dining

In Fredericksburg, farm-to-fork takes on a distinctly Hill Country fresh flavour. With over 100 wineries, vineyards and tasting rooms, the region is well known for its award-winning wine, but the story goes far beyond what’s in the glass. Hyper-local produce, ranch-raised meats, peaches, pecans and wildflowers make their way from the surrounding farms and fields to local markets, restaurants and tasting rooms, creating a culinary culture deeply connected to the land and the people who cultivate it.
