Last month I traveled to San Antonio for Culinaria thanks to Val at From Val’s Kitchen! Check out my articles here, http://www.fromvalskitchen.com/tag/san-antonio/. Here’s more of the amazing sights and fabulous food I experienced!
Stayed at the Hotel Havana, so lovely, wonderful service, and just steps from the riverwalk.
Ocho Lounge, Hotel Havana’s restaurant was beyond words with it’s cuisine and specialty drinks (Yvoneeberry!), and seats overlooking the riverfront!
You can’t visit San Antonio without visiting the Alamo. Fascinating tour, a must do!
Also, a cruise on the river by Rio San Antonio will have you laughing at the captain’s funny jokes, awe-inspired by the surrounding beauty, and relaxed from the calming ride!
Located in the historic Pearl Brewery, check out the Culinary Institute of America, San Antonio. Take classes, snack on their amazing delights (sausage scone!) at the bakery, and shop at Melissa Guerra’s store!
Did I mention the appetizers at Arcade Midtown Kitchen were phenomenal?
Arcade’s cocktails…
Casa Hernan has the closest Mexican cuisine to my grandparents and dad’s recipes, love the family style dining!
Mark my words, “Tuk Tuk Taproom is going to be HUGE!” 
Opening late this month, craft beers and asian street fare, the pairing is pure perfection! Plus the owners are uber cool!
Did I mention the Yvonneberry? If you dine at Ocho, ask for it and her! Tell her the bloggers from California and Michigan sent you!
Press trip was hosted by the San Antonio CVB, www.visitsanantonio.com, 800/447-3372, all opinions are mine.
Dang! I should have met you down there! Amazing photos and I love the hat (and am a little scared of you with the knife)!
I adore this city! Great food, people and so much to do!
I have never been to San Antonio but definitely want to! Sounds like you had an amazing time.
I didn’t know San Antonio had a CIA. The Ocho looks amazing too. I will ave to check it out next time I am in town. 🙂
Looks like a pretty amazing vacation. And looks like you captured the memory.
Did you have a favorite part of San Antonio?
The Riverwalk. I’d love to go back and stroll the length of it!
I have never really thought of SA as a vacation destination, but your pics are gorgeous! It looks like a great place to take a family!
I was pretty thrilled to find the Fork in the River food tour given by a company at this web address. It was awesome, we went to Bella on the river, Bigs on the banks, Gwendolyn, as well as Justin’s ice cream and 1888 Texas mercantile.
We had a terrific guide who shared some history, architecture Riverwalk and river information and even the food was presented in a way to educate you about it, and it was really tasty at every location . What a great mixture and truly the best tour we’ve ever taken in San Antonio.
I am so glad I found your site. I really found you by mistake, while I was browsing on Bing for something else. Anyways I am here now and would just like to say thank you for a tremendous post and an all round enjoyable blog. (I also like the theme/design), I don’t have time to read through it all at the moment, but I have added your website to my favorites, so when I have time I will be back to read more. Please do keep up the awesome job!

I’m in San Antonio right now and culinarily speaking, you MUST take the Fork in the River food tour. You can taste some of the finest San Antonio food on this one and believe or not it’s on the River walk -all locations.
The chefs were so interesting and so you get to try the food first then go back based on that, and thereby, remove the guess work and wondering if the food is good or not. And, we got a discount given only to tour guests which further “sweetened” the deal. We went back to Biga on the Banks, but all the places were good. Great tour guide and city information sprinkled in as well.
Overall, the best food tour we’ve taken anywhere!
Very good information. Lucky me I found your site by chance (stumbleupon). I have saved as a favorite for later!
We went to San Antonio once and we went by that hotel it was very pretty. We did take the Alamo tour and I found it interesting. I always thought the Alamo would be bigger than what it is. We also got to see the riverwalk but didnt get to do anything on it or by it. It looks like you had a beautiful time!
