Our Team
We bring genuine Texas hospitality combined with a relaxed and open environment to sip, enjoy and learn about our wine and exceptional wine-makers alike.
– Brandon Owens, founder
Barelle was created to showcase and elevate women-wine-makers from Texas and abroad. Each uniquely crafted wine shows off the wine-makers skill at bringing all the elements of art and science to your palette. Enjoy a glass or bottle in our un-pretentious and relaxed atmosphere that our team creates for our visitors every day!
Brandon Owens, Founder
Brandon is a serial entrepreneur from previous industries including software, boating and food/beverage. A local Austinite, he spent a couple years in Northern and Southern California wine regions doing research and learning the wine industry. Shortly after moving back to Texas and out to Fredericksburg, Brandon saw the opportunity to open his own winery and tasting room, and decided to focus on and showcase under-represented wine-makers from Texas and beyond.
Brandon holds a BS from the University of Texas at Austin. He enjoys visiting his favorite wineries during the week, playing pickleball and spending time with his three children, Conor, Aevri and Falon. You can find him on most weekends chatting and laughing with the guests at Barelle FBG. Go join him for a glass!

Bruce, Wonderer & Contemplator
Bruce wonders out loud how on Earth grapes make such delicious wine. “It’s a mystery that may never be solved!” he yells everyday.

Leslie, Barrel-Sitter
Leslie watches barrels age each day and knows exactly where each one is at all times…except that one time she lost a barrel and has not forgiven herself to this day.
