About
Why risk the hour drive from Austin to New Braunfels when you can take our Wheels to Wurstfest?
Wurstfest was voted the number two Oktoberfest in the country by USA Today! This "10-Day Salute To Sausage" in New Braunfels is one of our favorite festivals of the year. With sausage, beer, polka and potato pancakes as far as the eye can see, it's a Bavarian wonderland that's not to be missed.
We offer round trip, luxury transportation and we make getting to New Braunfels easier than fitting into last year’s lederhosen.
