Spring Glamping Getaway on a Winery in Hill Country

Glamping at 12 Fires Winery – A Texas Hill Country Escape
Live Music – First Saturday of Every Month | 3-6 PM

Embrace the beauty of the Texas Hill Country at Tent #5 - Merlot, a pet-friendly glamping retreat nestled among the vines at 12 Fires Winery. Whether you're sipping wine under the stars, exploring scenic trails, or unwinding by the fire, your getaway is designed for relaxation and adventure.

Stay in Comfort, Surrounded by Nature
Your cozy glamping retreat "Merlot" is thoughtfully designed for a comfortable escape. Snuggle into the plush queen bed, enjoy a private bathroom with a hot shower, and make use of amenities like a microwave, coffee maker, mini-fridge, and wine glasses—ideal for savoring local wines. Heating and air conditioning keep you comfortable, no matter the weather.

A Pet-Friendly Retreat
Your furry friends are welcome! To ensure a comfortable stay for all guests, pets must be leashed and not left unattended in the tent. A $50 penalty applies to undeclared pets, in addition to the standard pet fee.

Adventure Awaits
Explore Pedernales Falls State Park for swimming, hiking, and horseback riding, or hike to breathtaking views at Enchanted Rock. Stroll through Johnson City and Fredericksburg, where boutique shops, galleries, and seasonal farmers’ markets showcase the charm of Hill Country. For a unique experience, visit The Preserve to see wildlife up close.

Savor Local Flavors
Pair handcrafted wines with wood-fired pizza, charcuterie boards, and our famous Martins Nutz (glazed pecans) at 12 Fires Winery. In town, indulge in local favorites like 290 Locale Winery & Pizzeria and Proof and Cooper at the Lumberyard.

**Weekday wine tastings are available by reservation.**

Unwind Under the Stars
End your day by the fire pit with complimentary firewood, sharing stories and stargazing in the fresh night air. Fires are permitted unless a burn ban is in effect.

At 12 Fires Winery, glamping is more than just a stay — it’s an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and experience the best of Texas Hill Country. We can’t wait to welcome you.

A very nice glamping experience

This was a very short notice reservation and the owner and his staff welcomed us and got us set up in our tent! The place is beautiful…the bed was super comfy, bathroom was clean and had very nice shower, the kitchen area had coffee and waters for us and the porch area had couches and chairs to relax in. A few steps away from the tent, we had our own private fireplace. Not only was the tent site nice, they have a tasting room on the property with some delicious wines! This was the perfect stay and cannot wait to go back!

Great Glamping Tent at 12 Fires!

We stayed in tent 5, which had full amenities! It was so convenient as our favorite winery, 12 Fires, was just a few steps away! 😊 Our dog was with us for the entire duration of the trip and he loved enjoying the porch and outdoors with us. These tents are great for a weekend getaway!

Nice but Noisy

The accommodations were well furnished for necessities. The Queen bed was comfortable but a little difficult to get out of if you are the one against the wall. Make sure to bring noise cancelling headphones. They do furnish disposable foam earplugs but the road noise is still present. This would be a 5 Star rating without the noise factor.
