Marble Falls is home to a number of award-winning wineries. Among them, Perissos Vineyard and Winery in nearby Burnet offers 100 percent Texas-grown and handcrafted wines. This small, family-run vineyard and boutique winery is located amidst acres of vines in the Texas Hill Country.

Also on your list of vineyards to visit should be Torr Na Lochs Vineyard and Winery. The name Torr Na Lochs translates loosely from Gaelic to “hill over lakes,” which is fitting, as this winery sits high above the Colorado River valley, overlooking Inks and Buchanan Lakes, offering sweeping views of the Texas Hill Country.

If you need intense relaxation, a trip to the spa might be number one on your to-do list. Hush Luxury, located in nearby Cottonwood, and Sana Vida, located in Marble Falls, both offer a tranquil sanctuary where you can restore, heal, learn, and open your mind to all possibilities.
