The location itself looks very rustic on the outside, but inside it's cool, modern and has plenty of seating. You'll find plenty of shade trees and two water stations along with some nonalcoholic drink options. There's no food truck on site, but they do offer a charcuterie board and I was told you can now bring your own grub (still might want to call and confirm though). At the bar inside you'll find a listing of their ciders including some guest taps that rotate. There's two unisex bathrooms near the bar and two sinks on the outside where everyone can watch you wash your hands. It should be mentioned that there is one oddity about this property and that is the small McCuistian family cemetery just a few hundred feet west of the driveway (see separate review). And if that cemetery is not enough to get your attention, the huge Live Oak cemetery is directly next-door with over a thousand graves to peruse through (yes, I reviewed that one too). So if you're looking for a place that produces high-quality craft cider and enjoy the rustic Hill country setting, this is it. A couple of items to note, Friday night is movie night on a big screen outside and on weekends they have live bands. 10 informative photographs included.

The bridal suite was not only perfect for the bridal party to get ready but also to allow the blushing bride some alone time before the ceremony. The weather cooperated but the event staff were prepared with tents if the ceremony needed to be moved at the last minute. The bathrooms were even stocked with emergency essentials should they be needed. A few of the guests had mobility challenges and the rustic walkways and loose gravel did present a bit of a challenge for some, but otherwise zero complaints.

The stairs to the VIP area are very narrow and look slippery but I was able to navigate. Won't try that next time. Seating was adequate and comfortable. Parking was adequate but the crowd was small.

We fell in love with the natural outdoors. The oak trees and blue bonnets. Privacy of the venue. Truly don't need alot of decor the venue speaks for itself!! A lot of venues we looked at primarily catered to the bride and had no groom suites but the Vineyards had a grooms suite! We were happy about that! Because this day was for the both of us. Wanted my now husband to have a special / thinking / man space lol We had a coordinator Catherine that works directly with the venue and she was amazing from booking to after wedding! Gave us all answers we asked and help navigate everything clearly ! So pleased! It's a beautiful area and spring time is breath taking here! Everything was amazing !

My dream had always been to have a ceremony under large, old trees, and the oaks on this property are beyond stunning. Everything you could want in a venue is here--suites for getting ready, lodging options, outdoor ceremony space, a climate-controlled tent, a vineyard, a meadow...it really is perfect. The staff here was great, and we always felt we were in expert hands. They can accommodate pretty much anything you envision--the wedding the night before us had a guest count of 250; our guest count was 25. We could not have been happier with our venue choice, and our wedding photos are a forever testament to the beauty of this spectacular location.

The grounds and buildings are well taken care of, and there were plenty of tables and chairs to accommodate our activities. The space is comfortable and casual.

Highly recommend for teams looking to get out of the office for a day to brainstorm and plan.
