Things to do in New Braunfels, Texas (TX): The Best Food & Drink

February 22, 2022 Jacquiline Delozier

With German names on the street signs, summer bier gartens and the annual Wurstfest, New Braunfels blends the character of its German namesake with the charm and beauty of Texas Hill Country. Old World heritage is abundant in the Historic District of Gruene, featuring the ruins of the original Gristmill and live music at the Gruene Hall. Those in search of more modern fun can check out the Schlitterbahn waterpark, spelunk in the Natural Bridge Caverns or test the waters at Canyon Lake.

Dry Comal Creek Vineyards

Reviewed By charleswZ396OS - San Antonio, United States

I decided to continue my solo wine tasting weekend at the Dry Comal Creek Vineyards. Due to Covid-19, there is reserved tasting times outside underneath beautiful oak trees. Please call ahead. The staff is very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Look on website for live music and food carts dates and times. I would suggest grabbing a bottle of wine and unwind underneath these beautiful trees solo or with friends. Cheers!!

Water 2 Wine

Reviewed By dinky3251 - Phoenix, United States

Not only is the staff (Brandy & Johnny) a reason to visit this wine bar, the wine is very good! A professed “wine snob”, I have yet to find a wine from the South that my palate enjoys (and matches the price tag). I was first doubtful, then surprised and oh so pleased to try several glasses of various offerings at this quaint shop. So happy with the choices I sampled, that I took a half-case home with me. My only regret was not being in town long enough to make my own batch of wine with a personal label attached! The perfect gifts for weddings, house warming’s and holidays! Brandy, thank you, Johnny & Amanda for your friendly welcome and wonderful wines! I will definitely be returning on my next trip!

Fantastic place if you are a lover of sweet wines. Very laid back but still paying attention to COVID protocols. Prices excellent compared to all other wineries we visited in Fredericksburg. Would definitely visit again.

Guadalupe Brewing Company

Reviewed By 992gwb - Topeka, United States

From the great brews to the spacious outside seating area, this is a great place to spend some time. Four of us visited over the holidays at the recommendation of our San Antonio family. We sampled and enjoyed four of their brews including two stouts and a blueberry mead. All were great. Also, try the fried pickles. They're great! With great weather, we were able to enjoy their outdoor seating area which was spacious and inviting with games at one end and fire pits scattered around to ward off the chill, if needed. Friendly staff welcome your sampling to make a choice. Will definitely go back when in the area again!
