Fredericksburg, located just over an hour from San Antonio and Austin, is the perfect place to host your next meeting, corporate retreat or conference. From unique venues to a wide variety of attendee activities, you are sure to create a memorable experience for your group.
The Perfect Spot
Scenic views, rolling hills and historical architecture can be found in Fredericksburg’s unique event and meeting venues. Discover the wide open spaces of the Texas Hill Country at one of the area’s remodeled barns, dance halls or wineries. Many include outdoor space to enjoy the views.
If your group prefers a hotel setting, there are several boutique properties that can accommodate groups of all sizes. Many hotel properties have dedicated conference room space – including larger rooms or the ability to provide smaller breakout rooms. Take advantage of free parking, free Wi-Fi and no resort fees.
Many venues offer on-site lodging. Otherwise, take advantage of Fredericksburg’s more than 1,500 vacation rentals, cabins and guesthouses available. Filter by amenities like group size, location, swimming pools and more.
Need catering for your group? There are numerous award-winning catering companies and local restaurants that can provide delicious food. Or book a private chef that can create a custom menu from drinks to dessert. From barbecue and authentic German to Texas Hill Country-inspired cuisine, there is something for every palate.
Attendee Activities Abound
After meeting time and collaboration, schedule activities for your group to discover all that Fredericksburg has to offer.
Historic Main Street is home to more than 150 shops, art galleries and boutiques. Find clothing, housewares, décor, locally made products and more. Whether shopping for yourself or for a friend, you are sure to find the perfect treasure.
Dive into the history of Fredericksburg. Learn more about the town’s deep German roots at Pioneer Museum. The 3.5-acre complex includes a one-room schoolhouse, historic Sunday Houses, a blacksmith shop and more. Groups can schedule and participate in special activities like blacksmithing demonstrations, candle making and more.
Fredericksburg is home to the Smithsonian-affiliated National Museum of the Pacific War. Dedicated to those who served in the Pacific War in World War II, learn about everything from how the war started to Pearl Harbor, the Doolittle Raid and the Atomic Bomb.
Home to more than 60 wineries and tasting rooms, Fredericksburg is at the center of Texas Wine Country. Plan a barrel room tour or pairing experience for your group to get a taste of award-winning Texas vino.
There are also around 15 tasting rooms located within a few blocks of Main Street, so your group won’t have to travel far to experience Fredericksburg’s wine scene.
For those wanting to explore the great outdoors, schedule a hike at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. Make sure reservations are made in advance so your group has entry into the park. Relax a bit while you’re there with sunrise group yoga at the top of the rock or plan a stargazing experience to take in the beauty of the night sky at this International Dark Sky Park.
