This was my second time visiting but this time we booked a tour and we had such a great time. The owner Jeff lead us through the tour and shared so much about their history, family, and the process of their craft. The property has been in their family for four generations since the 1930s and was originally a tobacco farm. Really cool to see them preserving their property and family history and keeping NC agriculture thriving. Our tour included a behind the scenes look at the cellar where the magic happens and it was so cool to listen to what the process is like. His wife does all the graphics and designs and they are lovely. Just a really special family centered place. We are not big wine people actually but our favorite was the bottle rocket which was bubbly and citrusy. The atmosphere here is out of this world just such a beautiful view. The tasting room and the patio and deck have great seating options. They had some live music the night we went as well. Very cozy and relaxing time! read more

What a lovely place! I visited North Carolina to explore Asheville area, and couldn't help myself but to stop at the local winery. Located only 30 minutes away from Asheville, this winery is a combination of relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. To do the tasting you need reservations. Unfortunately, I did not have reservations, and even though I was there by myself, I was not allowed to do the tasting. It's completely understandable due to the pandemic regulations. With that said, I didn't feel like I was very welcome there, but again it's just my perception. That did not prevent me from getting a glass of wine and sipping it outside on the patio. I also walked around by the grapes, the view was very nice. You also get a glass to take home with you, which was very nice. Overall, I had a positive experience. read more

Love this place. A little effort to get to but so worth it. We went for bottles instead of tastings. I highly recommend the Coming Home- light Cabernet savignon. Matt, the wine expert, was amazing. So friendly and knowledgeable. We sat outside with a view of the vineyard. Will definitely be back. read more

Addison Farms is located on a bee-you-tiful piece of property in Leicester, NC North, North west of Asheville. I went here because this place has a little special place in my heart. Many years ago when i was in school at Surry Community College for the Grape and Wine science program we traveled to this very vineyard to help plant some vines in the vineyard. We were learning about grafting vines and planting and this was part of a class project. I wanted to see how the wine tasted and how the vines were holding up. I never got to walk down in the vineyard as they were having a wedding there. Always a joyous and beautiful (see I really do know how to spell that word!) occasion. Our lady that ran the tasting was really nice and on point. Very down to earth and not that "syrupy fake" personality that one sometimes encounters in the public service industry. You had to make reservations due to covid, they were strongly encouraged at least. The wines were a bit different some with herbal qualities I wasn't really too fond of them, I am more of a traditionalist when it come to wine. I really enjoyed the Port style wine they make and the bottle of Petite Manseng that we enjoyed on the front porch while talking to some other people. In fact that 30 minute tasting ended up being a 4 hour chat with some new friends. In my book, thats a good day by any standard! read more

We drove approximately 30-40 minutes from the Biltmore to visit Addison Farms Vineyard and we were not disappointed! We arrived 30 minutes before they closed and were immediately welcomed and never felt rushed through our experience. The woman at the wine bar was very knowledgeable and the wines were very good. At closing time, the owner greeted us and allowed us to stay to enjoy the amazing views from the front patio. He even spent a considerable amount of time with us and talked about the vineyard, recommended great spots in Asheville, and took our picture. We would certainly recommend Addison Farms Vineyard to anyone visiting Asheville. read more

At first we drove by the unassuming entrance to this vineyard. We called to ensure they were open and had the location correct. Upon entering the property, you follow a a small gravel drive to to right to be greeted by an adorable building perched atop a hill overlooking the vineyard. We arrived and only one other couple was in the small tasting room. What a treat. We thoroughly enjoyed our very informative tasting and even left with three bottles of wine. We will definitely be back the next time we visit the area and the trek to this vineyard was absolutely worthwhile! read more

What a beautiful vineyard, full of delicious wine tasting selections and wonderfully friendly owners. I highly recommend taking a detour to this lovely farm to get your wine on. Each wine is different, full of flavor and decadent. After finishing the full tasting, my husband and I opted for a few glasses to sip whilst learning more about the vineyard. Couldn't help but go home with a bottle of our own! Will certainly come back when we're in the area again. read more

Highly recommend. Amazing scenery, great wine, and staff went above and beyond to make our visit special. Although they are labeled wrong on here as pet friendly. Their website says no pets. Not that they don't love them, but they do it for their customers (which I fully support). We are not from the area and was traveling with our small dog and out of respect we called first to see if we could bring her but stay outside. They welcomed us!!! Since it was on a Friday @ noon they graciously brought our tastings outside when they could. We have been to many wineries around the country and this by far was one of our favorites. We had the pleasure of sitting and talking with Jeff for over an hour. His passion not only for his wine, but his community, and fellow farmers made our visit even more special. We will be back and I recommend you stop by and support them and the community. Thanks again Addison Farms for an experience we'll cherish and talk about for years to come.

Took my parents here for wine tasting on our trip to Asheville last weekend. Being from Oregon, we've been missing all the local wineries! I was so happy to find a local family run winery to visit on our trip! It's a short drive from downtown Asheville. We pulled into the winery and were helped as soon as the group before us finished up. The lady leading the wine tasting was extremely personable and knowledgeable!! My parents did the normal tasting with the two reserve wines added - they disliked some but enjoyed some others. It's hard to be non-judgmental coming from the Willamette Valley in Oregon. This was the best winery we've visited since moving from the west coast! I ended up buying them a bottle of the Red Dress. We wish we would have packed a picnic to enjoy some wine out on their patio overlooking the beautiful countryside! Definitely recommend visiting on a trip to Asheville! read more

Looking for a random thing to do in Asheville? Addison Vineyards is off the beaten path. When you get here, don't blink because the entrance is subtle. The view from the tasting room is gorgeous. Addison has a beautiful tasting room where you can buy their taste flights before buying bottles. Or you can enjoy a glass (or two) on their deck. We got there a little on the late side on Sunday so we didn't see much past the tasting room and the deck. It's a pretty awesome place because it's a working vineyard. The vineyard is family owned and they have cute stories to go with their wine. read more

A must-see place I venture out to every time I'm in the Asheville area. It's very family owned. There are only family members employed here and both times I went, the owner was in the winery. You can sample a bunch of wines for $7. It's well worth it. I got a decent buzz though, so if you're a lightweight like me, bring a dd. I have purchased almost all the wines here and they all have really great flavor. My favorite is Coming Home 2011. The dessert wine is awesome and the Smokehouse Red has notes of smoke which is unique and pulled off very well. Leicester is about a 25 minute drive from Ashevillem but it's scenic and goes by quickly. It's a beautiful drive and I can imagine it looks the best in the fall. Check this place out, but remember...it's only open on weekends. read more

Busy place today, stood there for 10 min without being acknowledged. Finally I decided would just taste a wine and buy a bottle because indoor seating was too close. Got 2 bottles of the Phoenix. Not bad wine but a little sweet for me. Sat on deck to sip but rear deck was too hot so went to front deck and sat in shade. Owner seemed nice but he was talking to others nearby and clearly said people should leave their dogs at home - not bring them to vineyard. My dogs were lying under my chair on leashes bothering nobody. Stray unleashed dog got in their face twice so they voiced their discontent. Owner says it is neighbors dog. My dogs just traveled 6000 miles with me and Asheville area was my last stop before home and this is the first place I felt my dogs weren't welcome. Can I recommend that owner posts a no dogs allowed sign and indicate that on their website if dogs are not welcome? We left abruptly- then owner decided to ask about the breed of our dogs, maybe because we got up to go so quickly after the comment he made to another couple. I'll find a friendlier place to go next time. read more

We saw mature vines and tasted the next gen wines today and are VERY impressed with the direction this vineyard is going. Tho it seems far, once you get to Asheville, its a cakewalk. Don't wait go, the winery is making killer reds and you shouldn't miss out know the vines are old enough!

We visited here over the holiday weekend, and had a great time! My parents live just down the road in Leicester, and had never been here either. We went and did the $10 tasting, and each bought a glass of wine and a bottle to take home. I didn't love all the wines, but some are really great, and the tasting setup is good. You stand or sit at the bar, and one of their employees pours the wines and meads from light to dark and tells you the flavor profile and story behind the wine. The deck is excellent to just sit for a little bit and have a glass, and then you can leave with the wine glass when you're done! I would come back again for another tasting when the wine selection has changed. In short, it's not super fancy, but the wine is good, and I enjoyed the visit. read more

We came down from Philadelphia to enjoy a peaceful vacation and came across Addison Farms Vineyard for a wine tasting. Jeff the owner, and Jessica our tasting specialist were such great people, very knowledgeable, and incredibly welcoming. Their variety of wines were wide ranging and of very high quality as well. We ended up buying a couple of bottles after the tasting and had a couple glasses while enjoying their incredible front porch view. If you do their tasting you get to keep the custom wine glass which is an added bonus! Overall this is a great local winery 20 minutes outside of Asheville that had awesome wine and an excellent atmosphere. If you're looking for an easy escape from the city I highly recommend it! read more

Established in 2009.

Addison Farms Vineyard is a family-owned and operated vineyard and winery in Leicester [pronounced Les-ter] NC, about 17 miles from downtown Asheville, NC. We planted our first vines in 2009, and have grown the vineyard a little each year since. Near the end of 2012, we opened our tasting room. We invite you to visit with us.

The whole of Maggie Valley seemed to be a bit deserted, but the winery (which also houses a pharmacy...weird, but you know...small town charming!) was open and I had the place to myself. The woman working greeted me right away and gave me a rundown of what I could do for a tasting while I looked over the multiple rows of offerings. There is almost too much to choose from, but you are sure to find something (or rather, several somethings) in your preferred sweetness or flavor palate. I enjoyed my tasting, enjoyed chatting with the proprietor and learning about the business, and I happily left with a couple bottles of wine to come home with me. I'm not sure I would encourage you to go too far out of your way to stop here. But if you were in the general area or passing through, it is definitely worth a little visit.

I did use a Groupon to go to this place, our Groupon was for, tasting, cheese board, souvenir…read moreglass. They make it sound like it would be an experience, though it was pretty much a regular tasting with three rows of cheese and three stacks of crackers. Considering that we had purchased three of the Groupons you would think that they would have maybe fluffed it up a little bit, I thought maybe we would have been tasting our wine while we had our cheese, but we just stood at the counter doing shots of wine which was somewhat tasteless. I get that they don't use extra flavors, but it was pretty nondescript. The view from the back porch was nice however we did need to purchase something to wash down the cheese, and it had to ask for our souvenir glass, which I think possibly if I didn't ask for it they wouldn't have offered. I don't know if I would recommend this place? They were very friendly, and accommodating somewhat. I know I wouldn't waste my money on the Groupon experience.

While visiting, we wanted to try a winery with great views. This place has just that. It was too…read morehot to sit outside during our visit but that didn't stop us from talking in the views. Their charcuterie boards were delicious and the fig spread amazing flavor. Staff was wonderful and so pleasant. We were happy to have the opportunity to stop in. Oh and their wine slushies were soooo good. Must visit!

It says it's a 3 mile walk and they don't recommend it but I swear the walk to the winery had to have been at least 5-7 miles, glad we didn't try and walk. Came here for the complimentary tasting! They just upped the tasting to 7 wines and you got to choose which you wanted to try which was nice. Didn't wait long in line and the worker pouring for us was very nice. Small pours, but the variety was great. Gift shop was huge and bought snacks and bottles to bring back home. Fun activity to do with friends!

There was live music and a lot of shaded patio seating as well as lawn seating. We were able to wander through the vineyards if we wanted. They had plenty of single stall gender neutral restrooms too. We got a large table in the patio and got two white wines and a rose. Our table really liked the rose. We had a lovely time at this vineyard. I thought it was such a lovely touch that they gave me chocolate truffles too! Our wine bus coordinator took care of ordering, but the staff seemed really kind.

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.
