Taste of Waco!

As we travel between stops, your guide will tell you a little about Waco’s history and point out local landmarks.

Next stop – lunch! You’ll enjoy a delicious lunch served on fine china in a tea room atmosphere at Amelia’s in Sironia . Plan to take advantage of the chance to do a little Christmas shopping while you are at Sironia – an eclectic collection of shops under on roof near downtown Waco.

Finally, you will get a special preview of Historic Waco Foundation’s annual Christmas on the Brazos. You will visit the historic Fort House, a Greek Revival-style home built in 1868 by a wealthy Alabama planter.  Each room is lovingly decorated with lights, presents and ornaments – adding to the already beautiful historic home. Travel back in time as you learn the story of the house and the families who called it home.
