Nestled in the woods outside Lockhart, Texas Lost Horizon Cider Mill is an award winning small batch cidery with a mid-century inspired wedding venue.

Shawn Jones has long been a fixture in the Austin music scene, working primarily as a composer for film, games, and theater. Years of touring with his band, the Lovely Sparrows, led to friendships with seasoned brewmasters, whose creative recipes and attention to detail sparked for him an interest in the craft. At Lost Horizon, Shawn acts as creative director and head cider maker, creating inventive and balanced flavor profiles. He claims the recipe for the company’s flagship cider, Old Haunt, came to him in a dream.

Al Jones is a retired Army Colonel with many years of small business experience. He handles accounts, numbers and inventory and also acts as groundskeeper and landscaper for the property. His military work ethic means he’s often up and working hours before most people (including Shawn) are awake.

Caroline loves to use her creative agency background to help people design artful details and unforgettable experiences. She's a registered officiant and finds joy working with couples to envision meaningful, moving ceremonies.
