John and I celebrated our three year anniversary in Fredericksburg! We arrived and checked into our weekend cottage, Eli's cabin at the Austin Street Retreat.
It was beautiful, secluded and only a block away from the main street.
We definitely wanted to try some of the Hill Country wineries so our first stop was Becker Vineyards.
You could have fooled me and told me this was Napa. Seriously, it was gorgeous.
The gardens surrounding the tasting room were filled with butterflies.
We each got to sample seven different varieties of wine that are processed at Becker Vineyards.
Most of the ones we sampled were actually good and our tasting guide was knowledgeable and helpful as well.
We then cruised to Grape Creek Vineyards, sat in the shade and sipped some more cab. It was perfect.
As we were leaving we took a quick stroll through the grapevine.
And found actual grapes about two weeks out from being harvested! So cool!
We rounded off the day with a traditional german dinner and beer at the Auslander followed by some live music at Hondo's.
Turns out I'm still not a huge fan of German food....
You guys are too precious! Happy anniversary!
