Share News:

When the 100-degree days keep coming, there’s no more popular pastime in Texas than hitting the nearest swimming hole to cool off. In Wimberley, Texas, you have your choice of swimming holes to set up the chair in hip-deep water for a day on the river.

But there’s more to Wimberley in the Texas Hill Country than its swimming holes and beautiful scenery — it’s also a popular wine destination. Think about it: cool off during the hottest parts of the day on the Blanco River at Jacob’s Well or Blue Hole (reservations required), taste some of the delicious Texas-made varietals at Wimberley Valley Winery, and then come back to the hot tub at any one of these romantic vacation rentals with beautiful views.
