Get a taste of Texas with Road Runners
Vicki Baker
Everything is bigger in Texas, and these Road Runners trips are no exception!
Texas Hill Country Wine and Dine
The small towns and two-lane roads that fan out westward from Austin make up the heart of the Texas Hill Country. It is the green hills rising out of the flatlands that make the Hill Country so special. Here you’ll find the unexpected gems of Texas: wooded canyons cut by spring-fed rivers, shimmering lakes in limestone canyons and small towns and villages. Live the life of leisure on this Hill Country Getaway. Satisfy your palate with a variety of wines from five of Texas Hill Country’s favorite wineries and dine at iconic eateries such as Salt Lick BBQ, Waring Texas Steakhouse, Pedernales Cellars and Hilltop Café. Two-step your way over to Luckenbach for “Picker’s Night” and explore Fredericksburg, rich in German heritage. Package includes transportation, hotel, wineries, tours and meals.
