Our Winery is located at 227 North Main Street in historic Salado, Texas. We make all our wines on site using mainly Texas fruit. We are currently the leading award winning winery in Bell County, having won medals at the Indianapolis International Wine Festival, the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo International Wine Competition, the Taste of Georgetown, the Austin Star of Texas Rodeo "Off The Vine" Competition, and the Lonestar International Wine Competition, where our Salado Frost won the Grand Star award and bragging rights of the "Best Icewine in Texas"!
We offer live music every Saturday evening from 6 to 9 PM from March through December; weather permitting on our new patio (otherwise inside the tasting room). You can get great food right across the street at The Pizza Place (you can click on their menu here) and either have it delivered to our tasting room, bring it in yourself, or bring our wine over to their restaurant to enjoy!
We offer wine tasting classes for groups of 10 or more persons. These classes can be scheduled every day except Saturday. We charge $125 for a group of up to 10, each additional person is $10. The class takes about an hour and allows each participant to purchase wine at a 15% discount after the conclusion of the class. Contact us at the winery to schedule your class today!
Our tasting room holds tastings every day we are open from noon to 5PM. You can also have wine by the glass or bottle, and we have now expanded our offerings to include margaritas and hurricanes, as well as having several food items on our menu, to include our Chocolate Mandarin Orange Port Brownie, made by McCains Bakery in Salado.
