One night while enjoying an evening with friends + family at their home in Carillon Beach, it was time for a wine run. They laughed about how a neighborhood market was needed so no one had to drive. An idea that wouldn’t leave their mind, a few months and a few bottles of wine later, The Salty Bottle was born. With Jim + Tessa’s unmatched love for growth in their local community, diverse business experience, and passion for wine they are excited for this chapter in their lives.
A Carillon Treasure
The Salty Bottle is an intimate, family owned wine lounge with an upscale-coastal vibe in a relaxed environment.
Keeping It Local
As a small business, we try our best to collaborate with local vendors vs big box brands. A sip, shop, + gather type of vibe!
More Than A Wine Bar
We’re kid + pet friendly, with indoor and outdoor spaces made for a quick drink, after beach spritz, and endless summer nights.
