Culture
Wimberley Glassworks
Local artisans peddle their craft all around the Wimberley Town Square. Outside of town, you can visit the very prominent artists behind Wimberley Glassworks. Not only can you peruse a gallery of breathtaking glass artworks like light fixtures and vases, but you can also watch glassblowing demonstrations to see how the pros do it.

The Devil's Backbone
Theres nothing better than cruising with the top down well except cruising down one of the most scenic drives in Texas, the Devils Backbone on Highway 32. The route gets its name from the rolling hills and vertebrae-like rock outcroppings, but theres really nothing devilish about it its a heavenly view!
Outdoors
Jacob's Well
On the banks of Wimberley is a swimming hole right where Cypress Creek flows out of the ground — and there’s nothing like it in the entire world. This spring-fed tunnel shoots all the way down hundreds of feet to the aquifer making for a really cool way to make a splash. If you’re brave enough, you can cannon-ball into the hole that looks like it could swallow you whole. If you’re not up for the daring dive, you can still kick back and take in all of the wildlife in this clean, clear water.
"Old Baldy" aka Prayer Mountain
Wimberley boasts some of the most beautiful nature in the Hill Country. The best way to see a panoramic view of it all is at the top of Prayer Mountain (aka Old Baldy). And if youre not much of a mountain climber, dont worry its actually a mound with 218 stairs leading up the mountain to the bald rocky top where you can see the hilly Texas landscape for miles and miles.
Blue Hole
To take in the work of the great Artist who created everything, take a dip in Blue Hole, one of Texass finest swimming holes. Just one look at the water and youll know why its called Blue Hole. And theres even a rope swing so you can spend the afternoon just hanging around (sorry, I had to!)
Food
Community Pizza & Beer Garden
Whats better than amazing pizza and a craft beer? Eating it while your kids play on the playground. This place has it all with an open, industrial vibe that invites you to sit for hours as a community. The illuminati pizza with sausage, gorgonzola, and hot honey is amazing.
Ino'z Brew and Chew
Enjoy the great outdoors of Wimberley while you eat by heading to Ino’z Brew & Chew. Here, you can dive into a burger by the creek. You can even bring your furry friend, as this place is dog friendly.
The Leaning Pear
I love a restaurant where over half of the seating is outside. This modern building within sight of Cypress Creek has an open concept with amazing food. The crab cake packs a southwestern twist and the shrimp and grits is a re-imagined southern classic.
Wimberley Cafe
If Wimberley had a square, this restaurant would be the courthouse. Its in the middle of the fishbowl and doesnt disappoint. Its a great place for breakfast. And I highly recommend the Sweet Hot Mess burger complete with a homemade jalapeno buttermilk sauce and Sweet n Sassy Pickles.
Wimberley Pie Co.
