Carter Creek Winery Resort & Spa is a perfect retreat for a day or two away in Hill Country. Park your car, check into one of the resort’s rooms, each with a separate living room and bedroom, porch, electric fireplace and 55-inch flatscreen TV, and partake in activities steps from your door.
The vineyard boasts award-winning Texas-made wines. You can book a package that comes with a variety in your room to take home, but don't skip on the tasting room where you can do a tasting, including this author’s favorite, Group Therapy. For those who prefer beer, they also make small-batch brews here at the Old 290 Brewery.
The 290 Brewery is a casual steakhouse-style restaurant serving up Texas-inspired cuisine and steaks, or you can just get a charcuterie board and wine if you are looking for something lighter. There’s a stage for music in the restaurant, but also most evenings you can find a band playing or movie screening in the outdoor Pavilion.
In the morning, go for a dip in the pool, play tennis and don’t miss an opportunity to indulge in a spa experience with Gulcin Johnson, who isn’t only the spa director, but maker of the delicious custom scrubs and lotions sold in the spa and used in the services.
There’s not much need to leave the property, but if you choose to venture off, a shuttle can be coordinated to visit other nearby wineries. And, feel free to bring your fur babies, they’ll even get a Happy House swag bag upon arrival
