The scenery is everything and more. Nothing like sipping wine in the mountains. The wine ambassador, Hope, was the perfect person to give us informative information on the vineyard and wines. She was super sweet, knowledgeable and so much fun! The group enjoyed her so much. We had a tasting of 5 wines, and the wines were luscious and complex. One of my favorites was the 2025 Rose. It's a blend of Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. If you would like to indulge in a nice afternoon or evening by sipping on some lovely wines with beautiful views, check out this place. I promise you will love it! I look forward to returning in the fall:)

Thanks to Yelp, I was able to find Ashe County Livery and all the great recommendations for his company. James was professional, communicative, prompt, friendly and reasonably priced. 10/10 all the way around. I also appreciate the many great suggestions he gave us for places to eat and things to do. Book him for your next transport. You won't be sorry!

Made in a wood fire oven the crust and overall pizza was absolutely the top that I have had recently. The creek if you want to walk down to it was very nice as well. I guess Elkin Creek is on the muddy side, but still quaint and nice to look at as well. Now the wine, I was not blown away unfortunately and each, had a way of making me think I was tasting some type of Kombucha due to the spices used in them an a lingering flavor. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it was that way through all of the six wines we tasted.

Pizza that we ordered was delicious, with brie and bacon and the perfect thinness. It was quite large as well for $21 and we're still thinking about that pizza. But the wines, oh no, I never went to a winery where the wines tasted like they had a vinegar aftertaste. The only one we could stomach was the "soft white". We ordered a bottle of it to have with the Pizza and then walked around the premises to enjoy the creek. We're sad in our hearts that the wine just wasn't our taste, but if you want great wood fire pizza and a beautiful location, definitely come here.

We shared a white flight and a red flight. Our consensus is the 2022 Silver Moon is the best of the whites and the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is the best of the reds and the best overall. In good weather I'm sure it's is lovely to sit out on the porch. Would visit again. Cheers!

It took me awhile to find an affordable wine tour option in the Piedmont/Yadkin area, and Grape Escape delivered exactly what we were looking for. Our driver, Paula, let us make our own vineyard itinerary. She picked us up at 10am on a Saturday, and we visited five vineyards in the Swan Creek area before returning around 6pm. Paula clearly knew all of the vineyards well and was able to make good recommendations at each place. She was friendly with all of the vineyard staff and helped us get a tasting table at each venue, making it a standout experience. My favorite part about our tour is that all of the wine tastings are included in the tour cost, so you don't have to worry about paying at each place. You pay everything up front, and Paula takes care of the rest! We visited Shadow Springs, Windsor Run, Dobbins Creek, Raffaldini, and Piccione vineyards. Out of the five, I highly recommend incorporating Windsor Run and Piccione into your NC wine tour! I also can't recommend booking with NC Grape Escape enough...they were exactly what we wanted.

The cost was $59/person for a group of 4+ (this does not include any tastings or food). We ended up selecting Trip F: Elkin Creek Vineyard, Slightly Askew, Raffaldini Vineyards and Menarick Vineyards. Our driver, Johnthan, picked us up promptly at 10:30 to get us to our first tasting of the day. He was with us all day taking us to each of the wineries and was very accommodating. I definitely recommend this company. #JohnathanOut
