Why we like it

A vineyard estate right in South Austin. We keep coming back and it never gets old.

We know the load-in, the rooms and the timing here. Below is exactly how we run a night at Chappel Lodge.

About

The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge

The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge is a private 53-acre estate about 10 minutes south of downtown Austin. A stonework lodge sits among live oaks, wildflower fields and a vineyard, and the grounds host weddings, retreats, company events and holiday parties. Weddings can run to 225 guests, and there is overnight lodging on site.

Based in
Austin, Texas

Stay on the estate

The Lodge and a log cabin each accommodate up to 14 guests, so family and friends can stay overnight.

Ready for the weather

Two tented areas are on hand for a backup ceremony, and an outdoor cooling system and heaters are included.

Dogs are welcome

The venue is dog friendly, and it allows sparkler send-offs too.

How a night here runs

The ceremony

Out by the big tree on the lawn.

Cocktail hour

Guests wander the whole property, with most of the party in the courtyard.

Dinner and dancing

On the covered patio, with lighting we set up to turn it into the dance floor.

Aaron's tip: pick your season

Skip the summer. It's an outdoor venue, and July in Texas is no gift to your friends and family. Spring and fall are gorgeous here.

Behind the scenes
Load-in
Straight to the back of the property, a short walk to the patio
Sound
Outdoor sound wraps by 10 pm, so plan the big moments before then
