October 18, 2025 Lesley & I along with Joe & Karen. First visit here. Amazing venue that's a winery and also has a distillery. Karen enjoy a wine flight while Joe & I enjoyed several beers. Winery offers several snacks as well as a few food items. Today they had live music without a cover charge. All in great day, we will be back!
I had the wine flight, it was good but mostly sweet wines.. I like dry whites. I did find a wine I liked in the flight and got another glass of that to enjoy. Great outdoor family friendly spot.
Located just under an hour from Charlotte is Davesté Vineyards. I came out today to check out the Octoberfest Beer and Wine Festival. Note: this vineyard is a little smaller than some others in the area. Your $15 entrance fee came with a free glass of wine or wine slushie. A friend raved about the strawberry wine slushies from past seasons so it was a must try for me. This particular vineyard specializes in a lot of dry wines. I personally am a Sauvignon Blanc kind of girl and I did purchase a bottle today however I was a little disappointed with the selection. Most are known for their acidity and crisp taste this one wasn't as crisp. Typically the grapefruit and green apple stand out. Needless to say this one didn't. We did sample a few reds which seems like the better route next time. There were food trucks including Big Mama's Soul Food that offered a flounder sandwich which was *chef's kiss*. There was live music and a walking trail. There were plenty of seating options and some guests even brought their own folding chairs, live music and vendors. The event was one for the whole family. I even brought the dog out today. Although the venue states it's open until 8p, they really start shutting down the show at 7:30p we found the lights turned off on us a couple times while on the patio, but we caught the hint.
Nice, quaint winery in Troutman, NC. It was a slow evening which was fitting for my family and I. My cousin brought me out to celebrate my birthday. Located about 30 minutes above Charlotte. The grounds are lovely. They have a small pond, a bridge, and various seating arrangements. They are kid friendly with restrictions as you approach the hill leading to the pond. Very much understood. You're also allowed to bring your own food. This particular evening they did not have any live entertainment but they generally have music on the weekends I believe. We decided on a wine flight and were served the tiniest tasting I've ever had in life. I'm talking slightly bigger than a medicine cup. Literally, the size of half a small Dixie cup. This was disappointing to me and definitely not worth $15. We didn't let this ruin our evening. We set up a picnic under a tree, overlooking a pond. The landscaping of the vineyard is stunning and it was so relaxing and peaceful. We walked through the vineyard and took some pics and had an overall good experience.
I came to Daveste Vineyards with a group of about 12 people after hiking Rocky Face Mountain on our way back to Charlotte. The group organizer had called the vineyard a couple of weeks beforehand to request that they set aside space for us, and she also called them when we were on our way from the mountain to confirm our arrival time. Despite this communication, the staff seemed confused when we arrived and unprepared. Their payment system is not the most streamlined since you need to use one credit card machine for drinks and another for food, so you can't order both food & drinks at the same time. For drinks, they will pour flights/glasses for you right away after you pay, but for food, they said we should return in 15-20 minutes and look to see if it's ready. Also, on the day that we went, the chef was out of town, so they were only offering cold foods. The grounds are lovely and nice to enjoy on a pretty day. We put some tables together in the covered pavillion and settled in with our flights. I was a bit disappointed that the wine tastings come in small plastic cups instead of glasses. In general, we did not enjoy the wines very much. Some were quite dry and others were on the sweeter end, but I wouldn't order any of these again since the flavors just didn't do it for me. Pairing the final wine with dark chocolate was a nice touch (although by the time we got to our Hershey's kiss, it was pretty melted). When I went to go pick up our cold food (crab salad & Mediterranean stuffed avocados), I also got a glass of sangria. This was much more enjoyable than the wine, in my opinion. It was nicely chilled and fruity. It was again served in a plastic cup, which is not my preferred way to enjoy a drink. The food was just ok - nothing to rave about. After we finished up, we took a walk down the waterfall path, which was much longer than expected. There are signs on the path, but they don't share any distances. I THINK we reached the waterfall, but it wasn't very noteworthy. The artificial waterfall on the grounds is more impressive.
The dog was being groomed and had time to kill after driving all over Troutman decided to check out the vineyard. Do check the hours before you go I did not, just made a last minute decision to visit. Know they are closed on Wednesday. Driving into the property would have seen the sign had I not had the window open and was fighting with a hornet in the car. A few cars were parked outside and walked in only to find out they were closed. The nice surprise was they were willing take the time to talk to me and even a purchase of a bottle of Viognier and a soy candle. Both were lovely. It being the middle of the week did not have any bottles open for tasting so we talked about two wines of interest. Looking around the lodge found they have meats and cheeses available, bottled water and soda. Other items for sale are boxes of olive oils and balsamic vinegars, chocolates and dog treats. The woman behind the counter was friendly, took her time and we talked about the property. She even spoke of wines that won awards. We went outside took a look at the pond, stream and the wine vines across the way. Then she tells me there is a walking path about a mile that goes around the property and was welcome to it. It was a nice day figured why not? The trail starts out clear you just follow the path and eventually you will have to make a decision of the upper or lower falls. I chose the upper and would find a large creek. (video won't load). The hike was nice lots of ferns, wild mushrooms, different trees. After seeing what might be multiple snake holes got a bit nervous wearing leather flops. That said, grabbed a three pronged branch to make noise in front of me. Then the trail ran out and had to make my way up a hill and figure out how to get back to the lodge. Being alone was having an oh @%&! moment. Coming out of the woods was able to look at the property and made a right into a residesule area. Stopping a random woman coming out of her home asked how to get back to the lodge? Weird it would be the same woman who spoke with me at the lodge. She told me to follow the path to the left and "she wondered what happened to me?" Would like to visit again and taste some of the wines they have to offer. If you want to walk the trails wear proper shoes and bug spray the mosquitos are looking for a meal.
What a beautiful, shady space outside to enjoy the day. The wine is good and the live music was a plus. We brought our own food, but there was a food truck on site too. Only short drive from Huntersville which makes for a great afternoon away. read more

I had a great first visit! The employees were welcoming and kind. They explained how everything worked, went over the menu with us and let us know about the days happenings (food truck and live music). We enjoyed the wine slushies and relaxing by the waterfall. A smaller vineyard but still a great experience. read more

Spending the weekend in Troutman and found this Vineyard and immediately added it to our itinerary. Small but quaint and lovely vineyard. We visited on a Sunday which they fo not offer tours this day as they are only open from 12-6pm. It was raining but around 1pm it died down and we found our way to the Vineyard. Arrived around 2pm and man was it Alive! They had a food truck located towards the front of the entrance. I did not go see what food they had. There was a live band playing with plenty of seating under the trees close to the band. There is also front porch seating as well as two covered off side patio with plenty of tables to choose from as well. They sell lots of red, white and wine slushies. They also offer waters, sodas and sparkling water as well. They do not have food. They offer chips, charcuterie boards, popcorns and different types of nuts. We opted for a pre packaged charcuterie board with two wine slushies and a glass of Dry Rose. The ambiance was everything. It was such a nice day out. Cooler out especially after it rained but things were dry since the sun had been out. Around 4pm it did start raining but rather than people leave, they gathered under the roof to enjoy their wine and view the rain. Honestly very peaceful. Employees were super friendly and efficient. No troubles at all. Plenty of parking to choose from. For this being located in Troutman, such a nice Vineyard and I def. Will be back. read more

Our first visit!!!! There were 10 of us visiting on a beautiful crisp autumn Saturday afternoon. Live music played on the porch entertained us all afternoon. There were ample tables and chairs that we set in the Sun. We brought our own charcuterie board and snacks. We had it all from cold beer, flights of wine, wine by the glass and bottle. Some drank from plastic cups others spent $2 for a souvenir glass. We enjoyed the waterfall, took short hikes through the woods, thought about the cozy gas fire pits, and exciting additional event venues--one existing which was hosting a fundraiser and one under construction. Vineyard parking available. You might pack your own bag chairs to be on the safe side. There was a food truck/van on site. The staff was SUPER FRIENDLY, KIND, AND PATIENT. They were working hard all day. There was always a line for beer/wine and the bathrooms. I guess the two are related. We are glad we decided to explore a new location and can certainly see coming back. Highly recommend whether it's a date with just one special person or a group of girls enjoying the weekend at Lake Norman. read more

I love this vineyard. It's such a welcoming place, the people are nice and we even got some free beer from the owner. We have gone twice in the past month bc it's a nice place to just relax and enjoy the outdoors with a glass or 3 of wine. Oh and the wine is good. I did a wine flight the first time to get a taste of the wine selection they have, the sweet wine is really sweet so if you don't like sweet wine I suggest you stay away from those but I enjoyed the dry wines. They also have some cheese and crackers you can purchase on site but you also have the option to bring your own picnic and sit at one of their tables. The second time we went they had a hot dog cart and also some live music which was a nice touch. When it started to get later around 4/5 we noticed a crowd was picking up and ppl brought there own chairs so be prepared to bring your own chairs if you come later. read more
A brilliant collection of local-sourced and locally vinted wines and sparkling selection. The facility is not fancy, modern or upscale.. which is PERFECT for a relaxing escape from the challenges of daily modern-life. Enjoy sipping a full bodied red while overlooking the bubbling waterfall as the breeze rustles the leaves all around. A great selection of whites, from dry to sweet are available too. Grab a 6-varietal flight and lounge on the open space in front of the plaza while listening to the local band or musical group, properly curated for the environment and adding to the experience. A conservative selection of foods are available too, rolls - not sushi!! - but generously filled- hot-dog buns with a selection of chicken salad and other well-seasoned lunch-time fare at very reasonable prices round out the tasting and relaxing experience. In the retail area, there is an over-looked collection of fine cheese and some crackers available, along with local made chocolates, some pop-corn and fun snacks. You can reserve the medium-sized covered dining area for a private party, seats about 80-100 I think and there is a fireplace with brick facade that really add to the ambiance! They are both PET and KID friendly, however no children are allowed around the pond and waterfall for safety concerns. read more

What a wonderful afternoon. We enjoyed the wine flight. So delightful. Moved on to the grassy knoll for lovely soothing music. Enjoyed a bottle of wine ( Viognier that we never drink but so good here) and popcorn (www.whatspoppnclt.com) that was so light and tasty - garlic Parmesan-- so good! Gentle breeze, not fireworks... Thank you for fulfilling a spontaneous afternoon need for relaxation. read more

This is a hidden little gem in the "Charlotte area". A beautiful piece of property that has a little pond and big trays offering shade from the the summer sun. This day there was some music playing, sometimes live sometimes recorded. Lots of people were there having fun, many bringing picnics, and for those that didn't the Lobster Dogs food truck was there. (That is one of our favorites food trucks!) we found ourself a little table under a BIG tree and decide to share a bottle of Rkatsiteli. This is a white grape from the Georgian Eastern European (a former Soviet republic). It is one of the older grape varietals in the world and produces a nice light and refreshing "minerally" taste with hints of lemon curd, grapefruit, and white flowers. It was perfect for the 90 degree summer day. Almost made the heat bearable! We will add the winery on our list of wineries to visit when on the area. Give them a try you will enjoy the visit. read more

Daveste' Vineyards was the host location for a jazz show. Although they did not serve food, there was a vendor on hand to fill the empty tummies. The staff did a great job with the large crowd in attendance for Nils. There was wine tasting for those who made that selection. Casa de Montecristo was on hand for the cigar lovers. The bar inside was a bit crowded for wine purchases but eventually, it settled down after the start of the show. The grounds of the Vineyard are absolutely lovely with rocking chairs on the porch. We endured a pretty intense downpour and once it was done, the show continued. It was a great afternoon and evening for jazz and wine at Daveste', a great place to spend a Saturday afternoon and evening. Oh, it is less than a hour from Charlotte depending on traffic, of course. read more

Such a cute little vineyard near lake Norman. Lots of seating both in the front and back. The covered back patio next to the pond is so relaxing. There is a fantastic food truck with lobster rolls and inside has grab and go options as well like a premade boars head charcuterie board for an amazing price. You have to try the rotation wine flight. It was very good and a great way to test what they have available read more

We loved their wines, especially La Brisa 2020 & Ambrosia 2020. We accompanied our wines with some delicious finger bites that they also sell. read more
We had a wonderful time yesterday afternoon for Mother's Day. It felt like we were some what back to normal. People were social distancing and winery did an excellent time with the sale of wine. A great afternoon with friends and family..We love the Chardonnay and the riesling read more
Great day trip! Customer service is excellent. Beautiful Art for sale, and delicious wines! My favorite Red was the 2015 Malbec and preferred white was the 2018 Rkatsiteli, (I swear my next Dog will carry this name). Well worth the visit. They also have beer craft beer on tap for those that choose the option. read more
Been coming to Daveste off and on a few years. This was my first trip in for a little while, and I have to say...I like the way the wine has developed. The reds are good...sorry, not a white wine fan, so I can't really speak fairly about those. I love the Silouhette...a merlot blend...and the Dulcinea. The Malbec is my favorite. Our tasting master extraordinaire, Dan, was funny and knowledgeable. Great spot in the Troutman area! read more
