A bit underwhelming…read more When I visited Grotto, I was a little disappointed. The Grotto is a small section of the Riverwalk that is designed as a man-made rock grotto. You can walk under the cave to view a waterfall and fountain. I am not sure if it was construction or a poorly built safety rail, but the pathway surrounding the installation was lined with cheap-looking PVC pipes and buckets filled with concrete. It really took away from the art installation. The photos really make the Grotto seem larger and more robust than it actually is. Once you walk under it, the main attraction (the face and fountain) is actually quite small. I would only really visit if you're in the Pearl-Midtown area, otherwise I would not recommend going out of your way to see it.

Ms. Tauch was a very well known sculptor in Texas. She was paid $1000 for her sculpture. The sculpture features a First Native American in a full headdress holding shallow bowls in each hand. Each bowl served as public drinking fountains at some point. Pause to think about the historical significance and history that happened here as you visit the San Antonio Riverwalk.

If you can figure out how to get here without a car, this is a great vantage point to see San Antonio, and a great place to start off an adventure downtown. I've always wondered who built this, and Helene S.'s review was quite illuminating! So this sculpture is next to Sebastian's International Torch of Friendship, a maybe 30-40' high red sculpture that's hard to miss. Between this sculpture and that one is the famed Portland Loo- an outdoor free restroom. There's also the elevator that takes you down to the Riverwalk here. Standing on the bridge where this First Inhabitant sculpture is, this is a good spot to eavesdrop on the river cruises below, or just smell the Mexican food coming from Casa Rio. The Indian depicted in this carving must be a Yanaguana Indian chief, as they were the first Indians who were known to inhabit the San Antonio River area thousands of years ago. They covered an area a bit more up river near the University of Incarnate Word down along this river to where the Missions are today. Today, down the street at Hemisfair Park, you'll find Yanaguana Gardens, which celebrates this tribe.

There are small tables - try to get an upfront one for the best view. 100% Recommended!

5 Stars for its history!…read more Wish I could remember all that our NPS tour guide explained to us. What I do remember the guide saying it's the only Ranch of its kind left in the world, although the details on that claim have escaped my memory. Also none of what the 1936 historical marker is true but they leave it as it's historical maker in itself... which I find a little more hysterical than historical. The mounds in the area that I have many pictures of, are of the original Mission walls that were covered up to preserve them. In the center where the marker is located, is where the church would have stood. Mission Rancho de las Cabras is only open to public a few times a year. I joined a group from Yelp for an Unofficial Yelp Event to meet up and explore together. Although I arrived late, I arrived just in time for the archeological and history tour which is exactly why I wanted to head out there in the first place. I have been enjoying my history lessons of the local missions that I've been on lately. This really is more of a just an old Texas ranch more than anything else. It's great for some that have never had a chance to be on a ranch before plus the historic value of the ranch itself. I hope the best for the NPS keeping the ranch preserved for future generations.

Written on National Trails Day, 06/02/2018:…read more Rancho de las Cabras is part of the Missions, deemed a World Heritage Site, and is rarely open. Before visiting I kept reading articles about how it was a "forgotten World Heritage gem" and now I understand. As I write this review and reflect on my visit, I'm feeling a bit sad. I mean, I am glad to have had the opportunity to finally make it to an event when it's open (only open twice this year), and I really enjoyed the three tours I went on learning about birds, the architecture, grounds, etc... but it's so sad that there is much work to be done to preserve and restore this historic site, and yet there is no funding, no resources, and no solutions. Ruins buried (literally) and forgotten.

What I like about small vineyards is they have the freedom to experiment and create a variety of wines and blends using different varieties and winemaking styles. This innovation leads to fresh and evolving tasting experiences that keep wine interesting, exciting, and perhaps most importantly, personal. Small vineyards also focus on quality and sustainable farming, and produce smaller quantities of wine. This locally owned small vineyard has bold reds and crisp whites and breathtaking views at sunset. For my partner, I purchased a bottle of the 2019 Mourvèdre. This vino is smokey and bold with cholocatre undertones. This vino will pair well with steak and other red meats. While I am not a fan of reds, the quality and legs on this vino is undeniable. I purchased a glass of 2021 Barrel Aged Trebbiano which was reminiscent of a Cabernet Sauvignon blanc. Cabernet Blanc wines have a flavor profile that's similar to a mix of Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling. They can be dry, but some are made to be slightly sweet. This Trebbiano was more dry that sweet which I adore. Aside from the vinos, the sunset views when sitting on the deck are stunning. My partner and I sat and watched the sun go down with glasses in hand. The vino coupled with the views made this outing magical. The service provided by those working here is outstanding. #supportlocal
