Land, settle, first round
- Afternoon: Fly into SAT (San Antonio International Airport) — 90 minutes from the core. Drop bags at Hill Country Vacation Home (VRBO).
- Dinner: West End Pizza Co. (Pizza, $$). Wood-fired pizza with local ingredients — great for a casual group dinner.
- Night: Ease in at Elk Store Winery & Distillery — Combination winery and distillery in a converted 1890s general store. Keep it reasonable; Saturday is the main event.
