People & Lifestyle

Historic Boerne is favored by trendsetting, fashion-forward professionals and affluent, established families who prefer the suburbs over big city living. There is a slower pace of living in Boerne that is accentuated by its idyllic, pastoral landscape. It’s ideal for growing families searching for that perfect mix of green spaces to play, highly-rated schools, and evening entertainment for the parents.

When you’re not in the mood to cook at home, Boerne’s culinary scene is full of innovative and amazing eateries to choose from.

Self-proclaimed all-American restaurant Peggy’s on the Green resides inside a 19th-century stagecoach stop, Kendall Inn. This historic building is the perfect setting for Chef and Owner Mark Bohanan’s elevated country cuisine. Swanky Cypress Grille offers a stylish, New American menu in a dimly-lit dining room. Their menu features delectable twice-baked potatoes, medium-rare steaks, and a hearty wine selection. 

 

What Boerne lacks in a bass-thumping, crowded club nightlife scene, it more than makes up for with a large array of local wineries, securing Hill Country as one of the finest winemaking regions in Texas. Craft breweries are booming in Boerne, so grab a specialty draft at Cibolo Creek Brewing Co. or The Dodging Duck Brewhaus and Restaurant for dinner and a drink. Richter Tavern’s seasonal menu reflects locally-sourced, fresh ingredients and the masterful culinary prowess of Executive Chef Bill McGrory. As the oldest bar in Texas’ Hill Country, Richter Tavern has a distinct industrial-chic vibe. Below, Richter Cork and Keg is reminiscent of 1920s speakeasies. This intimate bar serves beer, wine, and tapas for lunch and dinner.

Each year for Thanksgiving, Dickens on Main takes over Hill Country Mile along Boerne’s Main Street. Festivities include live performances, ice sculpting, photos with Santa, and snow along Main Street as Dickens on Main transforms Boerne into a winter wonderland. Main Street also hosts car shows, including The Key To The Hills Rod Run, which features automobiles predating 1949. Boerne’s German heritage is celebrated each year with the Berges Fest, a three-day heritage festival that takes place every Father’s Day weekend and includes German folk music, dachshund races, and a parade.
