South Texas Style


In our last blog we talked about what inspired us to plan an entire wine themed wedding - wine truffles! But why limit ourselves to just using wine as an ingredient? We think the perfect wine wedding should include having the ceremony itself in one of the beautiful vineyards that fill the Hill Country. What could be more romantic than a hilltop view overlooking a vineyard, with miles of blue Texas sky above you, as you exchange vows with your soul mate? Or better yet, a canopy of stars to light an evening of dancing and celebration! The quiet, peaceful surroundings of a vineyard create a perfect beginning for any new couple.


Recently we met  Kristin Stevens, the new Event Coordinator at the Driftwood Estate Winery in Wimberly, Texas. She shares our love of wines and weddings. The winery is currently building a new pavilion just for special events and we would love to be the first to host a ceremony on their beautiful estate.


With so many wineries and vineyards in South Texas, the possibilities are endless.  Graceful white tents arching above rows of manicured vines would be the perfect setting for a South Texas style wedding.  But deciding which vineyard is the hard part.  We have our favorites but we would love to know what everyone else thinks.  Have you discovered the perfect setting on some of your travels?  Let us know what your favorites are and we will post the top picks. 


Close your eyes, can you see yourself dancing under the stars in South Texas?
