About Olives & Vines

About Us

Turtle Creek Olives & Vines is housed in a historic building that has proudly stood at the heart of downtown Kerrville, embodying the town’s rich heritage. Constructed in 1890 by Alfred Giles and Captain Charles Schreiner, the building originally served as a Masonic Lodge until 1927. Following the Freemasons’ departure, it became Kerrville’s post office and general store under Florence Butt, the mother of HEB founders Howard E. and Charles Butt.

Over the years, the building has hosted various businesses, including Dell Sheftall’s renowned Sheftall’s Jewelers, which operated from 2004 until his retirement in September 2017. Dell Sheftall, known for his jewelers in Austin and San Antonio, passed the torch to Dan and Sue Schulse.
