San Fernando Cathedral is the oldest standing church in Texas, where the atmosphere is lively and welcoming. Gaze at the breathtaking architecture, its twin steeples, and the historical icons and objects inside where you can say a prayer for loved ones. You can also join in on Mass which is spoken in Spanish and English and held throughout the week.

Drive out to Son's Island, a gorgeous, tropical-inspired, three-and-a-half acre island with open-air lakeside Hawaiian cabanas, where you can kayak, paddleboard, swim and wade, fish, barbecue, water slide, and play beach volleyball. Your breathtaking entry includes a drive across a wooden bridge surrounding you with large cypress and pecan trees outlining the perimeter of 4,000 feet of lakefront property. Son’s Island also offers glamping, where you can spend a night under the stars in a luxurious tent furnished with two queen-sized beds, fans, and lanterns.

The Gruene Music & Wine Festival has become a multi-day celebration, not only of Texas and Americana music but also a celebration of wine made right here in the Lone Star State. Enjoy the music, food, and crafts with German and New World Wines in the quaint little town of Gruene. Remember to taste the specialty beers on tap.
