This place is a spectacular natural beauty. It is a must see if you are near Austin. I visited last weekend. There were a couple of people swimming in the pool. I waded. It just always fed my spirit to be out in nature, God's creation. Another gem in Hill Country.

This is a wonderful experience. The property and the building are pretty and welcoming. Unfortunately, the cold snap in February had a negative effect on the olive trees so they weren't green while we visited. We missed the tour so we walked through the orchard on our own. It was very peaceful and scenic. Prior to our arrival, I had read some revues of this place. Everyone raved about the grilled cheese, like REALLY raved. We decided to have lunch and our choice was simple, grilled cheese, tomato soup and a light salad with their own vinaigrette dressing. I will be talking about this lunch for a long time. It was one of the best meals I have ever eaten - homemade bread, gooey cheese, tomato soup with a fennel flavor , and a delicious little salad. Service was very pleasant; all the staff was happy to answer questions about the place and the products. The gift shop is definitely worth your time, too. As we were leaving , a young woman was hysterically crying about her small dog. We went to help her and discovered she had accidentally stepped on him and spilled her cup of wine. I went back inside to get her water and napkins. They refused to let me pay for either! Now, that is customer service.

A few of my friends and I just wanted to get away. We love breweries and have been to many but Family Business Beer Company comes in on the top of the list of favorites. Relaxing atmosphere, great staff, Awesome beer. We played a few rounds of bean toss/corn hole and we took a few card games to enjoy while relaxing in the scenic picnic area. The live musicians were so good that we were surprised to realize that the music was Live. We were also surprised to realize we had been there for a few hours as time just flew by while we enjoyed the delicious craft beer FBBC offers. To sum up our visit (and to use that review title again...because I can't express it enough): Great Beer - Great Staff - Great Atmosphere.
