    Michael has a beautiful property! He's been thoughtful in his planning - even the grapevines are raised up so you can see them from the seating area. It feels like heaven on earth, relaxing....beautiful views and truly peaceful.

    This is one of the best wineries in North Carolina. We love dry reds, and they have a great selection. We visited on 4/16/2022. The hostess was both knowledgeable and pleasant. The owner was there as well, and we enjoyed having the chance to speak with him to learn a little about the grapes and the history of the winery. We will definitely return.

    A little bit of France nestled off of a country lane in Lexington, NC, Junius Lindsay Vineyard is worth stopping by. Michael Zimmerman, and the winery dog Bacchus, will be more than happy to share their love of wine with you. Michael, the grape grower, winery owner, and 'passionate about wine' proprietor built this winery on land that his grandfather was farming generations ago. Now, it is home to some French varietals like Syrah, Petit Syrah, and Viognier. The tasting room is reminiscent of an old Victorian train station and invites you to sit and enjoy a glass while gazing over the picturesque vineyards surrounding it. So, what about the wine? The wine is a miracle in NC. These are more French than typical of the region. The viognier, my favorite at this winery, is simply lovely. Michael doesn't overpower the grape. Instead, he ensures that the wine making process honors the aromatic nose and the dry mouth feel of this finicky grape. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Tell Michael that I sent you. You're in for a treat. Oh, and give Bacchus a scratch behind the ears.

    This past May just after returning from a 2 week river cruise in France, complete with many French wine pairings with our meals, we went with our family to the French-inspired Junius Lindsay Vineyard for a picnic lunch. We loved its location and outdoor tasting room! A beautiful breeze flowed through the shaded room as we gazed on lovely rows of nearby grapevines with rose bushes at the ends of the rows. The quiet location is tucked away from the road and behind a large field of corn which made it feel like our private retreat. As we ate our lunch, we basked in the lovely ambiance of the place while savoring a few of their French varietal wine offerings, particularly "Forget Me Not" and "Specialty Bubbly Rose." There were many other award winners to choose from but we'll save them for a return trip. I highly recommend this vineyard as the perfect little getaway place for spending a nice day. On Saturdays, they offer musical ensembles and performers to enjoy, too. What more can you ask for?

After being greeted in the main building, we were directed to enjoy the scenic route or walk directly towards the back of the building to enjoy the live music. There's an open space behind the main building with a small stage to enjoy live music, or if you're more a bookworm like myself you can grab a chair near the small lake. I enjoyed lunch in the Bistro (it was an earlier lunch because they were closing earlier for a private event - it's a beautiful space so I can see why) - the lunch menu offered a variety of items of if you're just interested in dessert, then you can grab something from the front and enjoy the weather. This beautiful place could easily get crowded on a weekend so I'd recommend reservations, just to ensure that you have a table without the wait. I decided to go with a wrap with grilled chicken and it was seasoned just right and was complimented with the perfect amount of fries. But the highlight of my lunch (besides the wine, lol) was the sweet tea - as a southerner, it hit the spot. A private tour was scheduled for me and that's probably where I made up my mind that I'd be back to visit this place. The tour guide was personable and she knew her stuff. Not to mention, I was able to enjoy fresh grapes from the vineyard (yum!). I fell in love with a couple of their signature wines, so I grabbed a couple of bottles from the gift shop - it's also offers a great opportunity to grab a few gifts for family and friends. I'd recommend this place for an easy Saturday or Sunday as it's great way to relax and recharge - but if you're feeling inclined to stay there's a hotel available near the vineyards (walking distance). Go check them out!

Our most expensive bottle was $26. 2 bottles of the 2024 Yadkin Valley Viognier which was delicious, 2 bottles of the Rose (made from 100% Cab Sauv) which shocked me with the flavors & depth (I drink 90% reds usually), 1 bottle of the 2022 Yadkin Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (which we will hold for 4-5 years), 1 bottle of the 2021 Yadkin Valley Cabernet Franc and 1 bottle of the 2022 Yadkin Valley Meritage. I liked the Southern Tour blend and the Smokey Pearl blend, both were similar to the Meritage) but a little sweeter than I usually drink. I highly recommend a visit to Curran Alexander Vineyards for a delicious tasting and if you can get Rita, who is VERY knowledgeable about the wines, the better but I'm sure all the staff is great.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Native Vines Winery, the first American Indian-owned winery in the United States. If you're coming from Greensboro, Winston-Salem, or Charlotte, the drive is an easy one -- less than an hour away and well worth the trip. I chose a quiet fall weekend when no events were scheduled. The weekend hours are a bit longer, so it gave me time to relax and enjoy the full experience. As soon as I walked through the door, I was warmly welcomed. Native Vines offers a customizable tasting where you can choose six wines from their list. I'm usually more of a semi-sweet wine drinker, but I decided to be adventurous and include two dry wines in my flight. My selections were: * * * * * * Dry wines: Indian Summer and Chief's Blend * * * * * * Semi-sweet wines: White Buffalo, Green Tea Wine, Raspberry Tea Wine, and Sangria Crackers were provided between tastings to cleanse the palate -- a thoughtful touch. The winery offers both indoor and outdoor seating, and there was even a food truck on-site for those wanting a bite to pair with their wine. My personal favorite was the Green Tea Wine -- light, refreshing, and pleasantly unexpected. I also loved Chief's Blend, a Cabernet Sauvignon with rich cherry and cocoa notes. In the end, I couldn't resist taking home bottles of the Green Tea Wine, Chief's Blend, and of course, the Sangria (because who can ever say no to Sangria?). I'm already planning my next visit -- hopefully on a day when they're hosting one of their lively events. If you're looking for a laid-back winery experience with a unique cultural story, Native Vines is absolutely worth the trip.

There's also a cute store inside with some local products. I personally love dessert wine so I love the variety of dessert wines they have. Every wine I tried was really good though. They did come around & ask if we wanted to join the wine club and gave us a sample of a club exclusive wine, but they weren't pushy at all when we said we weren't interested in joining. We also had a charcuterie board which I wish I took a picture of. It was delicious - it had cheese, crackers, olives, chocolate covered pomegranates (I think), and I'm sure I'm forgetting something else. Overall, a really enjoyable place to go with friends or a nice date spot! They seem to have a lot of good events worth checking out too.
