Valentine’s Day in 2026 falls on Saturday, February 14, making it the perfect excuse for a romantic weekend getaway. If you’re dreaming of privacy, scenic Hill Country views, great food, and a slower pace, Wimberley, Texas checks all the boxes.
Whether you’re planning a surprise trip, celebrating an anniversary, or simply carving out quality time together, this local guide will help you plan a memorable Valentine’s weekend in Wimberley.
Wimberley offers a rare mix of small-town charm, natural beauty, and elevated dining and experiences—without the crowds of bigger destinations. February is especially lovely: cooler days, cozy nights, fewer tourists, and the perfect weather for fireplaces, firepits, and long walks.
For Valentine’s weekend, a vacation rental is one of the best lodging options. Unlike hotels, a private home gives you space, seclusion, and often amenities that elevate the experience.
When choosing where to stay, you may want to consider some of the following amenties:
Private hot tubs for relaxing evenings under the stars
Firepits or fireplaces for cozy nights together
Scenic Hill Country views or creekside settings
Outdoor decks or patios perfect for morning coffee or sunset wine
A well-appointed vacation rental allows you to slow down, unplug, and truly enjoy time together—without shared walls or busy common areas.
One of the most memorable Valentine’s experiences is enjoying a private, chef-prepared dinner right in your rental. No reservations, no crowds, no rushing—just an intimate meal designed around your preferences.
Many Hearth & Haven homes offer private chef experiences as an optional guest service, making it easy to create a restaurant-quality evening in the comfort of your own space. This is especially popular for Valentine’s Day, so planning ahead is key.
