The Neighborhood:
Home of Texas favorite and country music legend Willie Nelson, Spicewood has a charm all its own. Fantastic barbecue, rolling hills, fabulous vineyards, and incredible views make this day trip really memorable. You’ll feel miles away from the city while still satisfying that need for novelty.

Muleshoe Bend Recreation Area is known best for one thing: bluebonnets. Rolling fields of bluebonnets pop up in the spring and it’s truly an awesome sight to behold. Of course, everyone else is beholding it too so in the non-wildflower season, come here to hike the trails, enjoy the green fields, and dip your toes in the water. It’s also dog-friendly! Krause Springs is definitely a top five natural water destination in the area. There are jump off points, a rope swing, waterfalls, and a hidden grotto spread among the 32 springs and the man made natural pool. Plan to spend the day here hiking around or sunbathing on the giant rocks. If you’d like to stay overnight, there are 24 RV sites with hookups. Cruise through the air on a Cypress Valley Canopy Tour, five ziplines that take you through a wild ride from platform to platform. After your tour, you can take a dip in their small private lake, have a picnic, or even stay overnight at their contemporary treehouses. They also offer night rides with glow bracelets and twinkly lanterns in the trees.

Spicewood has become a culinary destination for people with all different types of palates. If you’re a barbecue snob, then Opie’s is definitely on your map. It’s in competition for the best barbecue in Texas. When you walk in, you’re greeted by a huge pit smoking any kind of meat you could desire. Buy it by the pound and make sure to add on some jalapeno creamed corn and that tater tot casserole. It’s All Good barbecue stands by their assertion that everything there is good—and locals agree. Brisket, beef ribs, and short ribs are the winners here—they have the trophies to prove it—so make sure to get there early because they can sell out. Take a walk on the wild side and head to Kaiser’s Twisted Barbecue. They’re mixing it up by adding Asian fusion flavors like five spice, vindaloo, szechuan, and more creative takes. Call ahead to reserve the Wagyu Hoisin Beef Ribs. For fine dining, try Apis Restaurant. Yes, this is the kind of place that plates things, where everything has a multi-layered story, and it was likely grown out back. And it is amazing. Craft cocktails, micro-brews, a beautiful restaurant and if you’d like, a tour of their very own beehives. They’ve also got a casual concept—Pizzeria Sorellina with the same dedication to quality ingredients but with more fun and a kids playground. High quality wood-fired pizza with creative toppings await at Pizzeria Casa Nostra. Cute and casual with outdoor seating, their pizzas have that kind of thin crisp plus chewiness that’s so hard to achieve.
