Texas Style

At Rising Star Vineyards, we blend the best of the Old World and the New - we grow eight of the finest Old World varietals and make wines in a true Texas style. We Texans have a special attitude and an independent spirit, which we bring to our wine making, so you'll find both traditional and unique wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Barbera, Chardonnay, Muscat, Zinfandel and Chenin Blanc.

Two Tasting Rooms!

Our new tasting room in Salado is now open Tuesday through Sunday at 110 North Main, in the very center of the Village and includes our new Texas Cheesery. We're excited to be a part of the wine scene in one of Texas' finest tourist destinations.

Rising Star Vineyards offers tastings, wine by the glass and by the bottle and invite you to relax and shop while you taste our array of wines. If you are a new wine drinker or just want to learn more, please visit our calendar to view the class schedule and sign up for one of our classes on wine and wine tasting.

Wine News

Many of your favorites are getting in VERY short supply! Stop by the winery now and stock up on Sunset, Rustler's Red, and White Merlot. Even the Reserve Cab is starting to disappear! The good news is that we've got Chardonnay back in the tasting room and some wonderful new wines just around the corner. Come get 'em!

We produce Estate wines in small, hand-crafted lots, and we strive to constantly improve our wines and our ability to let the land and the fruit that we grow speak clearly and distinctively in each glass. Our goal is to delight each and every customer.
