At Laughing Hen Silos, you and your flock can enjoy a weekend away giggling on 11 acres of picturesque Texas countryside while sleeping in adorable converted silos.
Each silo has its own unique vibe and can fit 2-4 people, with air conditioning, a private front porch (just imagine sitting back with your favorite bevvy), and adorable antique furnishings making it one of the best places in Texas for a bachelorette party.
Laughing Hens is just a short 10 minute drive to Round Top or La Grange proper where you and the bride-to-be’s brood can hit up some nearby wineries and restaurants.
Make sure to check the merch shop so y’all can all get matching Laughing Hen shirts before closing up the coop and heading home.
3. Winery tour of Texas Hill Country
Chardon-heyyy! It’s wine time, baby!
Want to feel like you’re in Europe without breaking the bank? Take a caravan of the bride’s besties to Texas Hill Country, roughly situated between Austin and San Antonio, where the dry climate has cultivated a wine culture in the heart of the Lone Star State!
First, head to Grape Creek Vineyards where you can even sign up for a tour of the facilities.

Essential ingredients for an incredible bachelorette weekend: sun, sand, surf, and salty margaritas!
In Port Aransas, you can book a beach house for all the babes and when you’re not sunbathing you can go swimming, drop in to the local watering holes, or when you’re ready to get out the sun do some shopping and peruse around the art galleries.

Start the night with dinner and drinks at Geraldine’s, a fourth-floor restaurant, bar, rooftop lounge with live music and an amazing view of the city.

Finally, end your night at South Congress’s famed Continental Club, the “granddaddy of all music club’s” for an authentic Austin rock n’ rolling night!
6. Tubing Day on the Guadalupe River
The Guadalupe River runs for about 230 miles from Kerr County, Texas, to San Antonio Bay on the Gulf of Mexico and with an average temperature of 63.95 degrees it makes the perfect destination for a summer bachelorette party for floating in Texas!
If you’re looking for a weekend trip with the girls, there are plenty of campsites (and glampsites…) and even AirBnbs up and down the river that offer all kinds of amenities.
There are multiple outposts to rent tubes with the most popular areas being around New Braunfels and Houston.
Before you go, pack a fancy picnic and pick a spot to relax on the shore of the river.
For some extra fun, pick out some matching swimsuits in advance and do a photoshoot before jumping in the water as pics will be tricky once you’re in the water.
Hot tip – bring some rope with you so you can connect your tubes so the whole pack can stick together as you make the relaxing journey downstream.
7. Horseback Riding in Central Texas
Tell your bride-to-be to grab her boots cause y’all are going horseback riding!
Texas is known for its Western style ranches so if you’re looking to throw a party with a little bit of rustic flavor, book a group horseback riding experience!
When setting up the reservation, you’ll need to know the number of people in your party and have a general idea of their riding experience but have no fear, most outfitters will cater to all riding levels.
When you arrive, a guide will ride out onto the hill country trail with you and will stick around to make sure everyone feels comfortable.
Check out Southern Trails just outside Austin!

Bet your bride-to-be does and what better way to celebrate than belting out your favorite bangers with the girls?!

During the 90-minute class you’ll have an interactive teacher lead you through the process of making and shaking your own drinks, with plenty of taste testing of course!
After the course, consider booking a reservation at a nearby restaurant so you can keep the party going with some appetizers (and maybe more cocktails, no judgment here).
11. Cooking Class at the Culinary Institute of America
Nothing brings people together like a shared meal, especially when it’s made together!
If your bride-to-be is into upping her kitchen game, book a group cooking class at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA, promise this isn’t just for spies).

Want to treat your bride-to-be like a star? Treat the whole party to a night at the cinema in your own private viewing room AND pick your own movie!
There are plenty of amazing cinemas in Texas to choose from but the Alamo Drafthouse may have the best deal for a bride on a budget.
Starting at just $150 you can rent a theater for yourself and pick from dozens of big-screen classics and select new releases.

Is your bride-to-be one of those people who is always active and up for trying new things?

14. Foodie tour of a Texas City
Whether you plan it for yourself or book with a professional, a foodie tour in Texas makes an amazing bachelorette party!

15. Spend a Weekend at Lake LBJ
For a chill weekend with your gals, book an AirBnb lakeside for a fun-filled weekend of swimming, nature, and maybe even a boat party!
At Lake LBJ, just outside of Austin you can easily find a whole house to rent that can likely fit your whole crew for a fun weekend of giggles galore (think about your favorite sleepover memory and now imagine it with your adult friends and booze…).
Once you’re there, you can rent a pontoon boat on the lake, check out the local burger joints, lounge on the lakeside, or even order some pizzas and stay in for a night.
Hot tip – if you can convince the girls to take off work, try booking for a weekday so you can have the whole lake to yourselves!
