Lake Travis Area Excursions: Hill Country Wine Tours

Written by Todd Hower | August 13, 2015

Take an hour drive out toward Fredericksburg – almost any route will do – and you’ll soon see indications of one of the more popular ways to enjoy an afternoon just outside the Lake Travis area.

Wineries abound in this part of the Texas Hill Country, and whether you’re a novice or self-proclaimed connoisseur, a day spent tasting the local offerings is a day to enjoy.

A wine tour can be as short and simple or elaborate as you care to make it. You can go with a friend or significant other for the day or plan an entire weekend getaway around the wine tastings.

Hudson's on the Bend: Happy Hour in Lake Travis

Written by Mandy Spivey | June 2, 2014

You gotta love a good happy hour. Indeed, as the old saying goes, “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere!”

When 5pm rolls around, not only am I usually in need of some rest and downtime, but that is around the time that my late lunch wears off and my hunger begins to rear its ugly head. That’s why the happy hour specials at Hudson’s on the Bend are just so tempting after a day spent shuffling files in front of the computer.

Monday through Friday from 5-7 pm, Hudson’s on the Bend Happy Hour is not something to be missed. It’s a great stop if you’re on your way home (and ready to get out of traffic for a while), or just needing an early evening snack to keep you going.
