Best of JC and Texas Hill Country
Neighborhoods
You are close to Main Street which makes it easy to walk to tasting rooms, breweries, restaurants, art galleries, and shopping of JC. This quaint little town is full of history, visit the LBJ National Park, LBJ’s boyhood home across the street, and two blocks down you can jog or walk the trails on the old Johnson Homestead. Kids and adults will love the Science Mill. We visit several times a year with our kids, 10 and 14 years old, as it constantly changes. Check out the website below for community events, such as Market Days every fourth weekend of the month.

Sister winery with William Chris, so if you are members of WC mention it and they will take care of you. New tasing room on the JC city limits, so within a mile of the house. Great property and very friendly people.

We think our accommodations are better. What I love about this place is they are open after the traditional wineries are closed and you don’t want to go home. The lawn is a great place to have a wine or beer and hang out. The brown beer aged in Garrison Brothers whiskey barrels is top notch. Heavy for some but I love it. Other good beer and wine to be enjoyed at a late spot night before you go home. Live music on the weekends. Food is also available but on a limited or reservation basis only.
