James, the proprietor, explained origins and processes that create some of the highest quality products we've ever run across....did you know that the longer balsamic vinegar is aged, the thicker it gets due to evaporation?....the showroom is lovely and there are way too many flavor of both the vinegar and olive oil options to sample them all on one trip....this is an unexpected delight to stumble across in the "Pecan Capital of the World"....if you're in San Saba, it's a 'must go'....

I enjoyed walking through this park. It has interesting information, and is very well-kept. One drawback was the bathroom - one door was locked and the other one was very hard to open/close, and the lock did not work, so we had to stand outside and "guard". I understand this is a pretty new park, so that was disappointing. But the park itself is very nice.

Everyone who watches Texas Country Reporter (as we regularly do) will enjoy walking across the bridge used for the show's opening. We approved from the north of San Saba and had to drive a few miles on a caliche road in order to reach the bridge, but the road was not bad at all (we were expecting lots of loose gravel, but that was not the case). Because of structural issues, the bridge has been closed to traffic but it is open for walking (we were there in mid-December). If you are near Gatesville or San Saba, it is worth the drive to experience this 1939 suspension bridge, one of the last of its kind in Texas.

Located just a stone's throw from the county courthouse on the town square, this is a very nice park. We were there in December when it was set up for the Christmas lights. What a beautiful place. It is easy to imagine the community gathering here in the summer to cool off in the pond, which has a nice little beach. The water mill and pump house, the water fall, the walking path and grounds all come together to created a wonderful public space. Loved it!

Our tasting server was a local young lady who was very friendly and extremely helpful with helping us select wines. Not only that but she gave us directions to all the sites we wanted to visit in the area. They hold special events and will be glad to put you on the mailing list to keep you informed. We really enjoyed the quality wines at a fair price. no where near as pricey or as snobbish as the other winery down the street!

I had a little trouble using my gps but once you find China creek road just follow it out of town a few miles passing the Wedding Oak. You will not miss it with a small parking lot on the right side. We didn't see any trash. We are glad we came because I wonder how many years will I be able to walk across this. I will come back again when in the area. Not sure the town itself realizes what an attraction they have.

I know it’s just a tree, but we love history and historical things. If that’s what you love, you definitely need to visit the Wedding Oak. It’s absolutely majestic. The branches are as large as a regular tree trunk, and have grown into each other and out again. It’s right at the edge of the right of way for the road, with the marker being inside the field next to it. They have had to cut branches off, to keep the roadway safe, but many new branches are growing from the cut places. It’s a beautiful, beautiful oak.
