OUR WINES
Locally Grown, Locally Made
At Salado Winery Company, all of our wines are produced from grapes sourced around the state of Texas, most of them from right here in Bell County.
As winemaker, my job is like that of a chef. I am focused on using locally-grown grapes, as well as, presenting wine drinkers with wines that taste great.
– June Ritterbusch, Owner
