Explore the Texas Hill Country

Arrival and Welcome Reception: Four Seasons Hotel, Austin, Texas

After arriving at Austin International Airport (AUS) you’ll make your way via private car service to the Four Seasons Hotel Austin on Lady Bird Lake. Settle in and enjoy your new environment, a welcome reception, meet with your driving instructors and, along with your fellow travelers, raise a toast to a beautiful week ahead.

Into the Hill Country: Austin to Fredericksburg

Today we depart the State Capital and head west into Texas Hill country and some of the Lone Star State’s wide-open spaces. We’ll venture over winding roads shadowing the Colorado River and have lunch at Horseshoe Bay on Lake LBJ. Later, we’ll travel through the gateway to the Texas wine trail and the hometown of former President Lyndon Baines Johnson on to our final destination of Fredericksburg and the Albert Hotel. Fredericksburg still has the feel of the quaint town which it was when settled by German immigrants in 1845. Our Porsche’s will feel right at home here.

The Twisted Sisters: Fredericksburg Loop

After we saddle up in our 911’s, it’s off to explore Hill Country. While Texas is more known for its vast nondescript terrain, it also has curves and hills for driving enthusiasts. On drive day 2, we head to two of the twisted sister sections of hill country with the intention of finding some fun hills to drive. After a long day, we’ll treat ourselves to some local culture and music in the tiniest town in Texas, Luckenbach, where the plan is to dance and dine under the Texas sky.

Fredericksburg to San Antonio: Historic Heart of Texas

Drive day three, we’ll bid farewell to Fredericksburg and head to San Antonio via another of the twisted sisters of hill country, the third and final. The journey will travel scenic roads with Texas’s version of fall foliage and panoramic vistas. Some characterize this area as an inverted mountain range with large hills and canyons. The scenery will be plentiful and when we’re done we can check off Farm to Market (FM) 335, 336 and 337 “The Three Sisters”, considered the best roads in the Lone Star State. Our day ends at Hotel Emma where you will enjoy an amazing stay at this history rich former brewery from days gone by.

Caves, Lakes, and Hill Country Vistas

On our fourth drive day we venture north from San Antonio to visit some unique areas. After a short drive from the city, we’ll begin to explore some of the other unique attractions of the Lone Star state. We will visit the Cave With No Name, Natural Bridge Caverns and venture down some of our last twisty roads along the Colorado river. We’ll return to the hotel Emma and venture out for some of the best culinary delights the area has to offer.

Final Drive: San Antonio to Austin

Today, our final drive day will return us to our homebase of Austin, but not before we visit a site steeped in history, The Alamo. After breakfast we shuttle to the Alamo and spend some time touring the grounds. Later, we’ll return to the Emma where we will depart for Austin and back at the Four Seasons Hotel Austin. After a little relaxation we’ll meet for our finale dinner. We will raise our glasses, reflect on our week and finish the evening with warm farewells.
