The Perfect Fredericksburg Bachelorette Party Itinerary
Your personal party planners are here with the itinerary that a stressed-out, stretched-thin Maid of Honor needs. We get it, curating the perfect trip can be overwhelming. We’re making it easy with this list of tried and true favorites for a group of gals looking for a good time.
Thursday: Arrival, Country Drive and Dinner Downtown
- For the local ladies, hop in your car and take a scenic drive to Fredericksburg. For groups traveling from other parts of the country, you’ll want to rent or book a private car from the Austin Airport to make the 1.5 hour drive to Fredericksburg.
- Check into your hotel, settle in, add those personal party decor touches and then hit downtown Fredericksburg.
-
Stroll and shop along Main Street before heading to dinner at Chase’s Place Cocktails and Kitchen. There might be a bit of a wait, but trust us, it is worth it!
Pro Tip - Fredericksburg is an old-school small town and services like Uber and Lyft are not dependable or widely available. You’ll need to bring a car, rent a car, or coordinate private transportation for the best experience!
Day 2: Wine Tour, Dinner and Dancing
- Kick off the morning with cappuccinos from Caliche Coffee Bar & Roastery. It is a totally ‘grammable spot and will give you the caffeine kick you need for a long day full of fun...and wine. The day will be full of wine.
- Lean into the Fredericksburg wine vibes with Tipsy Tours. They’ll do all the planning (& the driving!) as you sip your way through Hill Country wine. OR if you want more control over the day and your stops, check out the 290 Wine Shuttle - a hop on/off style shuttle that hits the best wineries along its route. PS - our fave wineries to visit are:
