Wimberley was named by Buzzfeed as one of the best small towns in Texas and when you visit you will know why.
Whether you’re here for an afternoon or a week, there is plenty to do – shopping, dining, touring our local wineries and breweries, hanging at the river or Blue Hole, and tons of that old fashioned small town fun like parades and rodeos, family events and festivals, and watching a movie under the stars on the side of a barn!
There’s so much to do in Wimberley, it is hard to decide where to start, but no matter what season you visit your trip needs to include some outdoor fun.
Summer days are spent river sittin’ or swinging from a tree into the spring-fed Blue Hole.
Take a picnic to Blue Hole Regional Hike and Bike Trail, climb to the top of “Mt. Baldy”, enjoy a peaceful walk through the enchanting grounds of the Emily Ann Theater or simply take a drive along the Devil’s Backbone and look down at the spectacular views of the Wimberley Valley.
Looking for an adventure? Jump off the 30-foot cliff into the ice-cold water of Jacob’s Well or Zip across the Blanco River on a Zipline.
With award-winning pizza, local cafes, a bar and grill overlooking the creek, chef-created, hill-country inspired cuisine, plus BBQ, Mexican and even Italian Food right here in town, you won’t have to go far to find an incredible meal.
If you are looking for some of the famous hill country beers and wine you can find multiple breweries and wineries within a 30 mile radius of Wimberley, Texas!
Most restaurants in town have a great selection of local and national craft beers – or head to Brewsters Pizza and Brewery for a variety of micro-brews they brew up themselves (Try Drop the Rabbit) or only a few miles further to Triple X or Middleton Brewery.
Six Hill Country wineries are within just a few miles of each other or stop by the wine shop on the square and take a few bottles home! There is also a rum distillery in town with an outdoor bar – a perfect pit stop after a day at Jacob’s Well.
Wimberley is known for its Market Days Flea Market that occurs on the first Saturday of each month. Run by the Lions Club of Wimberley, the market features an eclectic mix of vendors with vintage finds, antiques, clothing, holiday items, and of course food!
The Wimberley Square and downtown area is a mecca of charming shops – most owned by locals with a passion for friendly service and unique items. You can also find restaurants, bars, snack shops and art galleries. Check out the Cyprus Creek are to find benches and a playground – while mom shops, dad and the kids can relax and enjoy the afternoon by the creek.
