Things To Do In Wimberley

Wimberley Valley Chamber of Commerce

Wimberley is blessed with a location on the banks of Cypress Creek and the Blanco River surrounded by the Texas Hill Country. As a result, there are great outdoor activities nearby. Click here for our EVENT Calendar.

Shopping

Wimberley is full of unique shops that offer traditional and not-so-traditional art and wares. Although the primary shopping areas are clustered around the “Square”, there are also shops sprinkled throughout other areas. The first Saturday of each month, March through December, Market Day draws visitors from around the state.

Theatre

Wimberley has several live theatres in town. If your taste runs to live theatre, try the EmilyAnn Theatre, Central Texas Theatre Academy or the Wimberley Players for year-round theatrical events.

Arts, Culture,  and Adult Beverages

Wimberley offers many unique art galleries, including Wimberley Glass Works, with entertaining glass-blowing demonstrations six days a week. Every second Saturday, join the Second Saturday Gallery Trail – galleries in and around Wimberley Square stay open late and offer wine and appetizers to go with the art. If golf is your game, enjoy an afternoon of golf at the 18-Hole Quicksand at Woodcreek Golf Course. Wimberley is also home to the Wimberley Valley Winery, Fall Creek Vineyards, Limestone Terrace Vineyard, Middleton Brewing,  Driftwood Estate Winery, The Shady Llama and the Cypress Creek Reserve which is a rum distillery. Each of these places offers tastings and tours. If you’re ready for some high-flying excitement, don’t miss Wimberley Zipline Adventures for a breathtaking view of the Wimberley Valley.

Site-Seeing

For those who just like to walk and see the sites, Wimberley is full of beautiful views and rich history. A pause at the bridge over Cypress Creek and — for the more vigorous — a hike up the 218 steps to the top of Old Baldy, are ways to appreciate nature and beautiful scenic vistas while in Wimberley.

Wimberley Valley Museum

Open on Fridays 1-4pm and Saturdays 10am-4pm the museum is located in the Winters-Wimberley House, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. This museum helps you get to know the individuals who shaped and grew the town that sprang from the limestone terrain of the Texas Hills because a mill was built along Cypress Creek. The grinding stones on display at the museum are from that mill and are on loan from Ozona Bank which is close to where the original mill was located. 14016 Ranch Road 12.
