Romantic Couples’ Getaway in the Texas Hill Country: Wine, Small Towns & Wrenwood Ranch

Texas Hill Country is made for slow mornings, spontaneous detours, great wine, and even better company. If you're looking to plan a romantic couples getaway that blends relaxation, charm, and just the right amount of adventure, this itinerary is your guide.

You’ll be nestled between world-class wineries, iconic towns like Fredericksburg and Luckenbach, and unique experiences like feeding zebras at the Exotic Resort Zoo. Here's how to make the most of your couple's weekend escape.

🍷 Sip & Savor: Wine Tasting at Siboney Cellars & William Chris Vineyards

Nothing sets the tone for a romantic weekend quite like a wine tasting under the big Texas sky.

Siboney Cellars in Johnson City is a boutique winery with modern architecture and stunning views of rolling vineyards. It's peaceful, refined, and intentionally small—perfect for meaningful conversations over a glass of Tempranillo or Rosé. Their tastings feel personal, not commercial, and the hilltop sunsets are unforgettable.

Next up, just down the road in Hye, you’ll find the celebrated William Chris Vineyards, known for its Texas-grown wines and commitment to storytelling. Set in a historic farmhouse with oak trees and live music on weekends, it's as romantic as it gets. Make a reservation for a seated tasting and toast to love with their signature Mourvèdre.

🛍️ A Stroll Through Fredericksburg: Antiques, Boutiques & Hand-Holding

Fredericksburg is less than 25 minutes from Wrenwood Ranch and is the place for an afternoon of shopping and strolling hand-in-hand. Main Street is lined with over 150 locally-owned shops—think antique stores, Texas-style home décor, art galleries, and boutique clothing. Pick out a bottle of infused olive oil, grab his-and-hers wine tumblers, or score some unique finds for your home together. Between shops, pause for a shared slice of peach pie or a chocolate truffle at Chocolate.

🐾 Be a Kid Again: Feed a Zebra at the Exotic Resort Zoo

Add a little playful fun to your weekend with a visit to The Exotic Resort Zoo, located just minutes from Johnson City. This drive-thru and walk-thru safari experience lets you get up close and personal with over 600 animals—yes, you can literally feed giraffes, zebras, camels, and kangaroos right from your car window.

It's a lighthearted stop that’ll have you both laughing like kids again and taking the kind of selfies you’ll never forget. Pro tip: Go in the morning when the animals are more active and hungry!

🎶 Two-Step Over to Luckenbach, Texas

Even if you’re not a country music fan, you need to experience the magic of Luckenbach, Texas—population 3 (yes, three). It’s an old post office turned dance hall, and it's iconic for a reason.

You’ll find live acoustic sets most afternoons, couples slow dancing under twinkle lights, and a relaxed, no-frills vibe that feels like stepping back in time. Grab a Shiner Bock, cozy up on the wooden benches, and soak in the music and history. Bonus points if you wear your boots.

🌟 Your Stay: Wrenwood Ranch, the Hill Country’s Best-Kept Secret

Tucked between the wineries and small towns is Wrenwood Ranch, your home for the weekend and a destination all its own. With private cottages designed for rest and reconnection, this place was built by a husband-and-wife team who truly understand hospitality—and romance.

Each cottage has its own charm and modern comforts, from plush king beds and luxury linens to thoughtful touches like outdoor seating, firepits, and even pet-friendly options.

Wake up to soft Hill Country light, sip coffee on your porch, and end the night with wine by the fire as the stars come out. Wrenwood isn’t just where you stay—it’s part of the experience.
