YOUR TEXAS HILL COUNTRY EXPERT

Willkommen! Fredericksburg encompasses a town steeped in history and has a strong sense of community.

The Texas Hill Country offers more than farming and ranching, the area is ripe with world class wineries on the Texas Winery Row. Stunning Hill Country views serve as a backdrop for Fredericksburg’s amazing restaurants, golf resorts and unique shopping experiences.

Born and raised in Fredericksburg, Texas, Joe Salinas is an expert in the Hill Country market. His family owns a 3rd generation construction company based in Fredericksburg; this is where Joe’s personal passion for preservation and the restoration of older homes comes from. He appreciates their rich historical value.

Joe started in real estate in 2005 and has obtained both a GRI designation along with the coveted Brokerage License. Joe’s expertise and skill combined with the oneof-a-kind resources and reputation of the Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty global brand are powerful advantages that set Joe apart from the competion. Allow him to find your idyllic location in the Texas Hill Country to call home.

PEACH PIE

SAVOR Delicious food is a passion we all share.

Mealtime is common ground, a delight for our senses and, most importantly, a reason to gather with those we love.

Can you imagine all of the life changing events and decisions that have been made over a meal?

We fall in love over a good meal, mend fences, meet with neighbors and friends, and practice the art of conversation. When we make a meal we invite love, and when we share a meal, we fall in love––In love with the food, the laughter, the great conversation, and often the person sitting across from us! Perhaps that is why so many wedding proposals happen at dinner time!

On the following pages you will find not only the best of the best, you will also find many reasons to try a new food or two. Try Jager Schnitzel, Sauerbraten or deep fried pecan pie smothered in chocolate Jack Daniels sauce. And don't forget––peach season is here! Many of our restaurants will have something seasonal and extra sweet.

We are so glad you have decided to travel here and gather together. Now it is time to pull up your chair to try something new, here at the abundant table of Fredericksburg, TX!

OLD WEST SPIRIT There is a very special new place to shop on the corner of East Main and Washington Streets in Fredericksburg, TX. You will know the moment you walk into Old West Spirit that you are in a place unlike any in which you've shopped before.

Not only will you immediately be astounded by the beauty that instantly surrounds you—the abundance of exquisite fashion and jewelry is SO amazing—you will also be delighted by the variety of choices in colors, textures and size ranges.

It is hard to describe the sheer loveliness of it all! (Think Old West and vintage lace meets Western cowgirl). The store itself is positively breathtaking!

However, there is something else that makes it even more incredible, and a delightful place to shop. That would be the owners, Rene and Rebecca Lucero.

When you meet them you will understand why.

They started out as visitors to Fredericksburg.

Their love for our town brought them back here to open a booth at Trade Days five years ago.

You will still find them there on the 3RD Friday, Saturday and Sunday of each month. Find them also at Wimberley Market, every 1ST Saturday, March through December. After much success with the shows, and requests by many customers, they decided to bring their dream to downtown Fredericksburg.

Rebecca is a lovely, down to earth, and delightful native Texas gal, a great sense 24 Like us on with Facebook | Twitter

of fashion. She hails from Hallettsville, TX. Her outgoing husband, Rene, originally from Chile, is very personable and knowledgeable about fashion as well. The skills he obtained earning a degree in design from the University of the Americas are evident in the layout of the store, the beautiful window displays, and his eye for color and style.

Rest assured that if you take a moment to meet them, it will be apparent that their kindness, passion for fashion and eye for detail, will make you feel pampered and confident in your choices, not to mention beautiful!

When you meet the Luceros you'll see that they don't just stand at the counter while you look through the merchandise. They engage with you in a way that is rare these days.

What's more, they know what they are doing when they help you select the clothes that most enhance your figure and personality.

Plus, they will help you choose the perfect accessories that will make it all come together in style!

So—planning on shopping while you are here? Be sure to add Old West Spirit to your itinerary. Meet Rene and Rebecca, and take home, not only a new outfit or two, but also the confidence that you look truly great in them!

HILL COUNTRY VINEYARD

WINE What do The Huffington Post, The New York Times, Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast all have in common? Recently all have written about our little Burg, and the surrounding small towns which are winning the hearts of wine lovers the world over.

Texas wine has arrived, and the world has taken notice.

The climate and the hardy Texas Hill Country soil are the perfect pairing for one of the finest grape growing regions in the United States — one that is set for explosive growth. There are currently a cluster of over 50 amazing wineries nestled here in the Hill Country, with more, many more, to come. The predictions are that within the next ten years the total number of wineries will reach over 100. We have been coined the "Second Napa," and for good reason.

Feeling overwhelmed? May we suggest our Crush Texas Wine Passport, your complimentary guide to help you discover some ot the very best wineries this area has to offer. You can pick up a copy from any of our advertisers.

"I Do" Hill Country Wedding & Event Rental Fredericksburg is lucky to have Donna Mitchell, there is no doubt, because she is a creative force, a visionary, and a rare talent.

She has recently begun a new business here that showcases her talents, and is second to none in the Texas Hill Country. The name, "I Do" Hill Country Wedding and Event Rental, was coined with a dear friend, and rest assured it is fitting. No one knows how to bring beauty to a wedding or event like Donna, and everyone should turn to her once they have decided to say "I Do."

The idea for "I Do," or event rental in general, was really born from the highly successful business Donna started 5 years ago with her husband, Russell. You may have driven past it on Hwy 290 East and seen the covered wagons out front. It's called Yee Haw Ranch Outfitters.

(If you haven't been there, you should visit, or browse on line at yeehawranchoutfitters.com).

At any rate, it was the sheer number of bridesto-be stopping in, wanting to rent the covered wagons for their big celebrations that brought about the idea. It happened often enough that Donna considered opening a 2nd venue; however, with expansion of Yee Haw Ranch Outfitters in the plans, taking on a new venue that would take an enormous amount of time and man hours wasn't possible at the time. A wonderful compromise developed that would work until the 2nd venue could materialize. She could certainly rent the covered wagons along with many other one of a kind pieces, enabling her to offer a service, including delivery and set up, to give a bride and groom wedding decor that would be remembered and recalled for years by everyone on the guest list.

So Donna began buying for, and further laying plans for "I Do," and finally she and her business associate, Lauren Walgren, brought the idea to fruition. Lauren brings a fresh set of eyes and talents, and with the two of them, brides of all ages and in all budget ranges will find something just right!

So? Getting married here in the Texas Hill Country?

You must meet Donna to start your planning, and reserve your heart's desire.

Whatever you need: farmhouse tables, church pews, vintage lace, antique candelabras and trunks, chandeliers, silverware, glassware, fireplace mantels, custom chalkboard signage— the list is as wonderful as it is long—chances are Donna has it, or can find it.

HILL COUNTRY BLUEBONNETS, INDIAN PAINTBRUSHES

LIVE If you ask nearly anyone who lives here how they feel about residing in Fredericksburg, TX, you would probably hear the word "blessed" again and again.

It is true we have a bustling Main Street––and for a stretch of 6 blocks, traffic can be slow––but slow is one of the things we love about living here. And after all, it is only six blocks.

It is fascinating that a town of just over 10,000 residents can host nearly 2 million people a year and still remain charming, lovely, even quiet at times. It astounds all of us who live here.

SITTING AREA HILL COUNTRY HOME, LATIGO BUILDERS

And while it is true that Fredericksburg is growing, and new housing is popping up, we are fortunate to have talented builders who are committed to creating beautiful neighborhoods that complement our sweet burg. It is this vision that helps all of us. Whether we live in a home built in the 1800s, the 1950s, or last month, we still feel very much connected and always a part of this lovely community.

Our hospital is ranked among the top in the nation, our school offerings are diverse and amazing, our neighborhoods are beautiful, both the historical and the new, and we are proud to be residents here.

If you are visiting, Willkommen! It is our absolute pleasure to welcome you as a guest here, and If you would like to know more about living here, or perhaps are ready to start building or house hunting, you will find some of the very BEST builders and realtors right here in the Best of Fredericksburg.
