San Martino Winery is a small, family-owned winery just outside the city of Rockwall, Texas, on the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard, specializing in handcrafted wines using modern techniques. San Martiño Winery & Vineyards was established in 2003 and the same year processed by hand their first grapes. Today the winery produces about 5,000 cases of wine using state of the art equipment. Nevertheless, just like the first harvest, family and good friends still de-stem, crush and process grapes grown in Texas. Over the years the winery has grown and won numerous awards in Texas as well as in international competitions in San Francisco, Los Angeles and other places. Wine lovers are invited to visit their tasting room and sample winery’s select wines. There are frequent music events in the evenings.
