Hidden Gems Places To Visit in San Saba, Texas, United States
- 5.0 San Saba Olive Oil Company (24 reviews)
-If you love to cook....you must visit!
Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Speciality & Gift Shops
Not the type of store you'd expect to find in a small Hill Country town but San Saba Olive Oil Company is a true jewel for someone who loves to cook. Superb selection of outstanding olive oils and balsamic vinegars as well as teas and specialty items. Flavors infused into the olive oils and vinegars are so delicious....you just have to try several of each. My personal favorites are the Tomato, Garlic and Parmesan as well as the Smoky Chipotle olive oils and the Pecan Praline balsamic vinegar. Owner and staff are very knowledgable and helpful. Lots of good advice. The San Saba Olive Oil Company is within a block of the Wedding Oak Winery, J.C. Campbell Mercantile and Harry's Department Store.....all great places to visit. See more..
- 4.5 Wedding Oak Winery (84 reviews)
-Great Staff, Even Better Wine
Tuesday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM Wineries & Vineyards
Started here for a top of the hill, roll out the barrels wine tasting tour. Did not know we had to purchase tickets online. My bad. Chance for customer service persons to shine. Heidi did just that, superstar. Let us use computer and even print off ticket, took a few minutes, and we were tasting wine in no time. Forgot other staffs name that assisted us. I was visiting wineries with my wife as it was our first anniversary, this was the only place all weekend that did anything, free glass of wine. Kuddos the them. The owner or winemaker was there and was top class and very personable. Best staff in Hill Country, worth the drive out of Fredericksburg. See more..
- 4.5 The Regency Suspension Bridge (57 reviews)
-Well worth the drive to be able to walk across this 1939 suspension bridge
Points of Interest & Landmarks • Bridges
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. See more..
- 4.5 Mill Pond Park (43 reviews)
-Just what a city park should be like!
Spent 1-2 hours Parks
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! See more..
- 4.5 San Saba River Nature Park (28 reviews)
-Small town asset
Nature & Wildlife Areas
We stopped first across the road at the Mill pond park which is beautiful. This too is beautiful and has historic significance as the original water works. We spent about 45 minutes walking and didn't have time to cover all the paved trails. Nice public restroom and good parking. Some picnic tables but more importantly a great walking trail. See more..
