I first visited Bodegas Salado… 15 years ago? Not really sure, it was with a group of bloggers and I can’t find any record of it. Anyhow, I went back this week with the Gastro Guías for our first outing of 2025. A lot has changed there recently. First of all my long time pal Fran León has been in charge of sales & communications for the past year and a half and during this time the Salado family has done a massive reno job on the place, with a look to encouraging more Eno-Tourism. Fran very generously offered us a visit and tasting on the house assisted by another friend of ours, Carlos Montero, who does some freelance work with the bodega.
Thankfully we didn’t visit the vineyards (not really possible on crutches) and Carlos was so sweet, carrying a little chair around to the different buildings so I could sit down. Even though it was quite a chilly day it was sunny and we finished up with a tasting and a few tapitas sitting out in the sun. Looking forward to writing a proper article on Sevilla wines soon for Bitesize Sevilla.
