Nestled in the heart of Texas Hill Country, Jacob’s Well Vineyard is the perfect setting for an intimate yet luxurious wedding. The gated property includes 11 acres of private vineyard, as well as multiple structures that offer a variety of amenities to make your wedding weekend incredibly special. It is currently listed on VRBO, so you and your guests will have the property all to yourselves, so if you’re looking for a uniquely grand wedding experience, this venue is for you. 

The Facilities

If you’re dreaming of a beautiful outdoor wedding, Jacob’s Well Vineyard offers a variety of locations across the property for a naturally beautiful ceremony. Their quaint outdoor courtyard is one of my favorite spots, but you’re free to explore the area and choose the ceremony location that’s right for you and your fiancé. 

Receptions are held in the venue’s outdoor pavilion which accommodates up to 75 guests. It features a rustic stone fireplace, high ceilings, beautiful wooden beams, and dazzling chandeliers. I love the natural light that shines through the pavilion, making for gorgeous and glowing wedding photos. 

Food and Beverage

This venue is a great choice for couples who are looking to choose their own catering team rather than using a pre-selected vendor. Jacob’s Well Vineyard has the necessary set-up for large-scale events, but it does not provide an in-house caterer. I love the flexibility this provides because you’re able to find a caterer that can accommodate your menu preferences and budget outside of the venue. 

Whichever caterer you choose, your team will have access to a full-size event prep kitchen so they can create the delicious dishes that you’ve chosen for your guests. You will also need to hire your own bartenders if they are not included in your caterer’s services. 

Accommodations

The lodging options make this venue very unique, and greatly contribute to my love for this property. Jacob’s Well Vineyard offers both an estate home and a secluded cabin so following your wedding reception, you can head into the professionally-designed house and continue enjoying your night. With 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms included, your family or wedding party can also stay for the night rather than leaving to find their own hotel. 

My favorite way to enjoy this property is to rent it for your entire wedding weekend and take advantage of the expansive patios, in-ground swimming pool, and stunning scenic vows. However, please note that guests who are not staying on the property after your wedding reception will still need access to a hotel block nearby. Don’t overlook that piece of your planning! 

Special Considerations

Before booking your date, there are a few things to consider about Jacob’s Well Vineyard. First, you will need to contact the hosts via VRBO or Instagram to inquire about event pricing and logistics. This information is not readily available as they don’t currently have a full website, so you’ll need to communicate from the very beginning. 

Secondly, carefully consider your wedding date before signing on the dotted line. During the late fall and winter months, the vineyard is not as robust as it is during the warmer months. March, April, and May are the ideal months throughout the year for having the most blooms and greenery, so if that is important to you, make sure you book a date that will meet your expectations.

Kind Words

“Lois was amazing! Contacted her through thumbtack to capture the moment I proposed to my fiancé, and she did not disappoint! The candids she got are gorgeous and we will cherish them forever! She did an engagement shoot with us after and made the whole experience fun and extremely memorable. If you’re looking for a great photographer, you’ve found her!”
