Meet the Bell Springs Team

Nic Compton - Winemaker
Email Nic

Raised in southern California, our winemaker Nic Compton set his sights on making wine from a young age by way of family trips to wine regions, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and working harvests in Austria, New Zealand and 7 vintages in Paso Robles, CA. Looking for a change and better prospects, the family moved east to Texas to find world class wines and a wonderful sense of community.

When he isn't busy around the winery and tasting rooms, you may run into him and the family fishing the Blanco river, dancing and enjoying live music in Gruene, or spending a relaxing afternoon at the winery and brewery. Cheers!

Chef Mike Massaro

​
Born and raised in New York, Chef Mike always had a love for feeding the masses. Growing up in an Italian family, cooking was always in his blood. He grew his culinary skills while attending Le Cordon Bleu in Miami. After receiving his degree he took his talents down to the Florida Keys where he honed in on his career, becoming the Sous Chef of Hawks Cay Resort.

He eventually made his way to Wimberley, TX where he served as the Executive Chef for a small farm-to-table, fine dining restaurant. After doing an event with Bell Springs, he knew he had found his forever home. We were lucky enough to steal him away and these days you can find him in the food truck whipping up delicious bites for our patrons, keeping the staff going with yummy family meals, or smoking meats in his flip-flops.
