Harvest 2023
time to pick the chardonnay grapes!
July 9, 2023
The first harvest is set! We will pick the chardonnay grapes on Monday morning, July 17 starting at 6:30 am.
Wear comfortable, cool clothing and tennis shoes. You’ll want to bring a hat, sunscreen, water, and bug spray. We’ll provide everything else you need. We will start bright and early at sunrise but most folks come about 7am or later and go until all the grapes are picked, usually about 9 or 10 am.
After harvest in the morning, our grapes will be de-stemmed and crushed and prepared for fermentation at the winery. Feel free to come by our location at 841 N Main St, Salado and see the grapes start their journey to a bottle of wine.
RSVPs/Tickets are not required, but if you register, then we have an easy way to contact you if anything changes. Check out facebook page if there is unexpected weather or updates.
Pets must be leashed. There are cows, horses, and donkeys in adjacent fields and they will bite dogs.
We have been growing grapes since 2005! The vineyard is located at 21724 Hill Rd, Salado, TX 76571. This venue is only a vineyard, it is generally closed to the public except during harvest. This location does not sell or serve wine. For more information call (254) 947-8011, or visit Salado Winery, 841 N Main ST, Salado TX, 12 pm -6 pm.

June 2023
Well June 2023 was certainly hot! Good thing we had lots of rain in May. The grapes are looking good and by the end of June we are seeing veraison starting. Veraison is the fancy word for changing color. The grapes no longer grow bigger and at this point we sort of coast until harvest. Stay tuned as we will set the date for chardonnay harvest soon!
