Fun little brewery right off the main downtown Banner Elk area…read more They have numerous beers on tap with different varieties for all beer palates. Bonus is their kitchen with a nice assortment of food and snacks to go along with the cold beers. Had a beer sampler to go along with a large pretzel and beer cheese. The beer cheese was the bomb! Fun casual spot to hang out for a while if you're in the area.

Loved our experience!!!…read more We stopped by for a tour and it was stunning! They had several wine options to choose from, and we got to sample 5 during our tour as well. The vineyard is relatively small and idyllic. They had food trucks, some charcuterie options, and a band playing. Lindsay led our tour and was really knowledgeable and sweet. We loved our experience and will definitely be back!

Amazing location!! You don't need a Porsche to be welcomed here. We had one of the red wines it was…read morevery reasonably priced and very good. The service was excellent they were very helpful with questions they have a good selection of pimento cheeses and crackers and charcuterie boards. They also had a food truck and have really good live music. Plus in the winter time and they have a choosing cut tree farm here. I also have a very large covered area as well as a fully enclosed room which came in handy today because the mountains are finally getting some rain after about 7 weeks of drought. Will definitely come here again when in the area and most likely will come up here to get a tree this Christmas.

All of these were really good, so we bought a bottle of each:) The young lady who waited on us (9/3) was so pleasant, but unfortunately, we did not ask her name. The wine and the setting was by far my favorite!

We enjoyed the wines. Nice selection of whites & reds. They do offer tasting flights…read more The big room has lots of tables spaced about. There are board games available to play while you are there. Out back is a new patio area with several fire pits. For a late fall day it would be nice to sit out around a fire in the sun & enjoy some wine. They have a small menu of pizzas if you want food. Nothing spectacular but a good size for the price. Some non-alcoholic options are available, but not many.

I first stumbled upon this place about 3 years ago when I drove from Boone with my dog exploring…read morethe area. I stopped in, brought him with me (they're dog friendly!) , and tasted some wines. Delicious! I've since been back many times, bringing my cousin, friends, parents, and boyfriend. Everyone loves the wine here! I am not a sommelier so I can't explain my reasons for liking wine or not, but it seems that literally every wine is delicious. I usually go for the flights which include small pours and a souvenir tasting glass. Last time I was here a few months ago, I think my boyfriend and I ordered 3 flights so that we could taste and share all 12 red, white, and blend wines. Good choice, and relatively inexpensive. The food here is also good. I don't think they have a standard menu, but I've tried both the pepperoni pizza and a BBQ sandwich meal from here. When ordering food initially, it was just meant to "hold us over" until we got to the next place. But hot damn, the food is seriously DELICIOUS. Trust me and order from here! Lastly, this location is in an old schoolhouse. There's a lot of history here and the folks are willing to share that with you. Just talk to them! I'll have to admit that the winery itself is not as nice on the eyes as some others nearby in terms of being fancy or chic or whatever... instead, the vibe is homey, quaint, and welcoming. Bring a friend or two, make the drive, and enjoy!

Also, some great Smokey mountain canned products.. our favourites are the pickled quail eggs (actually very good for anti-pasta or Bloody Mary addition) & spicy garlic cloves, peeled.

Being that was July 3, no one would even talk to us to get these documents signed before the holiday. We brought our documents dd with us to NC in hopes we would find some kind, willing, souls to help us close on one house. Over the weekend, I reached out to a few notaries, realtor offices, and even attorneys. That have us a few leads but nothing definite. My dad recommended we try Fred's- "they have and do everything! As parents usually are, he was correct. We dropped in on Sunday and were told to come back Monday during working hours. We arrived mid day Monday and the manager stopped what he was doing to notarize our documents, even asking those managing the front desk to sign as witnesses. We are ever so thankful this is done! To top things off, they even have a UPS drop off location which saved us a trip to Banner Elk. Thank you SO very much for your kindness and expertise! Now we have a great story about how we sold our FL house in Beech Mountain, courtesy of Fred's!
