Another Home Tour event from the Wimberley Civic Club began April 1. The traditional kickoff party has been replaced this year with an online auction featuring more than 30 experientially-focused items. Designed to help bidders return to the world of friends, fun, and purpose following the isolation of Covid, it can be accessed by going to wimberleyccc.org. Ticket sales, a teaser video of the tour, and the auction all go live April 1.
“We created our auction with the past year in mind,” says Melinda Miller, Home Tour chairperson. “We have experiential gifts such the Elephant Experience at The Preserve near Fredericksburg, a four-hour sightseeing tour on Lake Austin, vase design at Wimberley Glassworks, and glamping in safaritents at Spoon Mountain, one of the homes featured in the tour. Happy hour hosting packages, elegant luncheons for ten, and a dinner prepared in home by Miss Red’s pros are some of the packages we’ve gathered to pave the way to socializing again.”
B&B getaways to Gruene, ziplining in Wimberley, and an Exotic Resort Zoo experience in Johnson City are up for bid, as well as stays at the Lonesome Dove Lodge and the Flora & Fauna Hotel. Dining at the exceptional Blair House, Longleaf Craft Kitchen + Bar, Driftwood Estate Bistro and Winery, and the Leaning Pear are also featured.
