3 Romantic Escapes in Dripping Springs: Wedding Capital of Texas®

At some point, you and your significant other are simply going to run out of things to do around town. Maybe you already have. You’ve been to all the good restaurants, all the quirky shops, and all the local events. You’d like to take a trip to Italy or France, but that takes more money and time than you can spare at the moment. It’s a challenge every couple runs into at some point, but we have an answer.

In Dripping Springs, the Wedding Capital of Texas®, you have access to a superb selection of date night destinations that are as affordable as they are memorable. As a matter of fact, we wanted to spotlight some of our most unique couples’ destinations in the list below!

Winter Showcase

If your relationship is far enough down the road that you’re thinking about tying the knot, the Wedding Capital of Texas® is the place to be. But it’s not just about the beautiful Hill Country locations where you can have the ceremony. Drippings Springs also hosts the Winter Showcase in January, which will help you figure out all the details to pull off your perfect day.

Completely free for anyone to attend, you’ll get to meet wedding experts and vendors from all around the Dripping Springs area. Among the vendors you’ll have the chance to speak to are photographers, caterers, bakers, florists, and much more.

Everyone knows a wedding can be stressful, but the Winter Showcase is the perfect place to gather information, plan ahead, and ease your mind.

Solaro Estate Vineyards & Winery

Forget about going to your local Italian restaurant for a glass of wine. At Solaro Estate Vineyards & Winery, you can immerse yourself in the vine-to-glass lifestyle. This family-owned winery got its start in Italy, but has since settled down in the Texas Hill Country.

Let the stress melt away with one of Solaro’s many wine-tasting options. For a more casual experience, there are the 30-minute Wine Tasting Flights, which include four different wines. The more serious wine lovers amongst you may want to opt for the Sommelier-Led or Table Reservation experiences, the latter of which lasts for about 90 minutes and is best for large groups.

If you’re interested in joining one of Solaro’s wine clubs, you might like to know you’ll be put on a shortlist for an invitation to one of their global wine trips. Upcoming destinations include the Republic of Georgia and Germany. Wow!

Hamilton Pool Preserve

One of the best spots for a truly unforgettable day out is the Hamilton Pool Preserve, one of the most gorgeous watering holes in the state. With limestone outcroppings and a 50-foot waterfall, you’ll be astounded by the area’s sweeping natural beauty. It’s as mesmerizing as it is rejuvenating as it is romantic.

During certain times of the year, you’re even able to swim in parts of the watering hole to get the full return-to-nature experience. To get to the watering hole, you’ll trek down a scenic, quarter-of-a-mile hiking trail. Guided tours are also available, which start at the dry uplands, then descend into the canyon, providing fascinating tidbits on the area’s history.
