Sometimes at Sandy Oaks, we feel we must be the best-kept secret in Texas. At times visitors not only express surprise that olives grow in Texas, but also that an orchard exists so near downtown San Antonio. Once they arrive, they feel transported from the hectic pace of their normal lives to a welcoming place of relaxation and serenity, nestled between our lovely old live oaks.
From Tuesday through Saturday, we invite you to stroll the grounds, lounge on the wrap-around porch of our gift shop or on our outdoor veranda. Sample our delicious olive oil and olives, drink a glass of wine or beer, or eat a bowl of our scrumptious olive oil ice cream. Shop at a leisurely pace in our gift shop, filled with delicacies and our full line of handcrafted skincare products, all made with olives and/or olive oil. You'll also find many exciting items crafted by local artisans that we feature.
To add to our hospitality, we now offer lunch Wednesday through Saturday, from 11:00 to 2:00. Using locally grown ingredients, (including Sandy Oaks olives and olive oil), Chef Scott takes an updated approach to traditional Texas food, creating a cuisine that is not only unique and delicious, but also reasonably priced.
