    Discover unique charm this summer with the Valencia Hotel Collection. Whether you're visiting the stylish Hotel Valencia Riverwalk in San Antonio, soaking up the relaxed vibe at one of the Court Hotels, or indulging in the distinct elegance of The George in College Station, each property shines with its own sophisticated flair and character.

    And summer just got sweeter. Valencia's signature Summer Poptails are back, this time with a purpose. Every purchase of these icy, fruity drinks — handcrafted cocktails topped with a popsicle — supports Ronald McDonald House, meaning you make a difference with each sip.

    Here's where you'll want to be cheers-ing this summer:

    Austin
    Lone Star Court is a a true taste of authentic Americana. This retro-inspired hotel in North Austin's Domain delivers a resort-inspired experience with a modern twist, taking you back to when travel was an adventure. Charming and comfortable with upscale amenities, the boutique hotel offers acres of fun with beautifully landscaped courtyards, an outdoor pool, live music on the weekends, fire pits, lawn games, and a Smeg refrigerator in every room.

    Irving
    Located next to the bustling Toyota Music Factory and Irving Convention Center, Texican Court offers a one-of-a-kind experience in the heart of Las Colinas. Find charm and comfort alongside upscale amenities at this boutique hotel, which is nestled on acres of beautifully landscaped courtyards. Once settled in your room, unwind at the resort-style pool, stop by Salt Tequila Bar for a signature tequila tasting, or dine at Two Mules Cantina.

    Lubbock
    Cotton Court offers a city-inspired boutique hotel experience in the heart of downtown Lubbock. Its design is influenced by Lubbock's history in the cotton industry and the region's Great Plains roots across the South Plains. Located on Broadway, the 165-room hotel sits near Texas Tech University and is just minutes from the Depot District, with its shops, restaurants, bars, and nightlife.

    College Station
    The "Court" in Cavalry Court's name isn't just for show — explore the unique outdoor courtyard featuring poolside cabanas, lawn games, cozy fire pits, and live music, capturing the charm of the other Court Hotels. This full-service hotel in the heart of Century Square is among the best hotels in Bryan College Station.

    Where rustic meets refined, The George, also located in Century Square, brings sophisticated flair to the Brazos Valley. It has a stay-a-while pool to relax at or you can head inside to the hip 1791 Whiskey Bar for a handcrafted cocktail.

    San Antonio
    Situated on the famed San Antonio River Walk, Hotel Valencia Riverwalk blends Spanish Colonial and modern Mediterranean design with contemporary ideals for a hotel that's steeped in history and charm.

    WINE escapes

    55 Texas Hill Country wineries uncork month of tastings and deals

    The Texas Hill Country Wineries Wine Lovers Celebration covers 55 wineries.

    Texas winemakers are hoping to play cupid ahead of Valentine’s Day. From January 26 to February 27, more than 55 Hill Country wineries are teaming up to offer complimentary tastings and deals via the Texas Hill Country Wineries Wine Lovers Celebration, a perfect excuse for a romantic retreat.

    The passport program — which is repeated throughout the year for different occasions like Texas Wine Month and wildflower season — encourages visitors to try new wineries and explore the thriving Hill County wine region. The pass covers a complimentary tasting at each venue for up to four visits a day, adding a 10 percent discount on purchases of at least three bottles.

    The passport is organized by Texas Hill Country Wineries, a nonprofit trade association that promotes its member vineyards and the overall winemaking regions. The organization has a busy 2025 launching resources for budding oenophiles, from an interactive regional guide to a daylong wine camp.

    The organization also helps build a future for the Texas wine industry by providing scholarships. $5 from each passport sold will go toward helping Texas students get degrees in viticulture, enology, or hospitality.

    Tickets are available for $65 per person or $100 per couple. The release calculates that the passport starts representing savings on tastings after just five visits.
