Warning: honeymooning in the Hill Country can cause you to do things you’ve never done before! Every season in Hill Country offers newlyweds the perfect place as a picturesque backdrop to their honeymoon. Fall and winter in Texas are no exceptions. “Oh Lord I just hate pleasant afternoons and mild temperatures!” said no one…ever. And you can’t forget the cool evenings, which are perfect for snuggling (wink, wink). Since a honeymoon is like reaching the decadent filling of the fondant wedding cake you may have fought over just a few short weeks ago, start your married life making beautiful memories in Hill Country and romancing your cares away on the heels of your newfound fall or winter nuptials.

Like a rough diamond that requires polishing, value is hidden in ‘them thar hills’ from September through November. A Hill Country fall offers changing foliage in Lost Maples State Natural Area (once referred to as the Yosemite of Texas), zip-lining at Cypress Valley in Spicewood, horseback riding along the shores of Lake LBJ, or a luxurious retreat for two in a spa-like setting with a swim-up bar!

And for those not in need of a beach to escape the weather, Hill Country winters are perfect for wine tours, dance halls, great barbeque and live music – the 4 ingredients for a Texas-sized honeymoon! Of course adding a Jacuzzi, a crackling fire and a few accoutrements never hurt to put you and your ‘partner in crime’ in a Lone Star state of mind!
