Learn How to Play Polo
You’ve probably seen polo on the TV or in a movie. Players on horseback knocking a ball around on a grassy field. In Kyle, this ancient sport is not just for the well connected, as you can experience it for yourself. Choose from intermediate, advanced, or intercollegiate-level polo lessons with the veteran trainers at County Line Polo Club. This inviting polo club is just the place to watch a fast-paced game before saddling up and giving it a try for yourself. There’s always something going on here, whether it’s monthly league matches or seasonal events, County Line Polo Club is one of the most popular things to do in Kyle for a good reason.
Shop Kyle Market Days
If you’re in Kyle between April and October, taste local foods, shop the town’s vendors, and enjoy performances by some of the area’s top talents during Kyle Market Days. Held the second Saturday of the month, this annual event is a fabulous shop for fresh-cut flowers, live plants, ripe produce, baked goods, local honey, and handmade bath and body items. Every one of these events features impressive live musical performances of various genres. The party always starts early in the morning, although end times may vary. Check the Kyle Market Days online schedule before visiting.
Take a Day Trip to Texas Wineries
The Hill Country is known for its wineries, and Kyle is just a short drive away from some of the region’s best. Head to Driftwood Estate Winery & Vineyard and appreciate beautiful bluff views over a glass of cuvee blanc or tempranillo made with Texas grapes. The new Driftwood Bistro serves up delicious dishes perfect for pairing. Meanwhile, the Duchman Family Winery in Driftwood offers wines made with grapes from the Lone Star State. Savor your red or white of choice, including a dry rosé, Montepulciano, and Roussanne, at what HGTV named as one of the 20 most beautiful wineries in the country.
Your wine tasting at Wimberley Valley Winery involves you sipping in the lacey shadows of giant oak trees. Tastings are offered seven days a week and can include a souvenir wine glass. At Bella Vista Ranch, you’ll find an enticing selection of wines, vinegars, olive oils, and soaps. Take one of the ranch’s orchard tours for an immersive exploration of a traditional Italian family farm. You’ll see how olive trees are grown and how olive oil is produced and partake in formal tastings.
Release Stress at Unchartered Adventures
Have you ever wished for a punching bag in your bedroom? Wanted to blow off some steam to loud Salt-N-Pepa music like Sandra Bullock did in Miss Congeniality? Unchartered Adventures in Kyle is the place to go to let it all out. Put on the protective gear, choose your tool, and bash away. Smashing with your sweetheart? Get the couples package and you can break everything from printers, flat-screen monitors, mugs, and beer bottles on a date night you’ll talk about for a while. The best part? You don’t have to clean anything up when you’re done.
