It was a bit pricey but the wine was good. The views were amazing! They had a nice porch and patio with seating that overlooked the vineyard and the mountains. They also had blankets that we could borrow to use during our stay which was nice since it was cold! There was also a fire pit but it wasn't lit while we were there. They had seating inside as well. There was a good selection of Ashe county cheese and crackers for purchase to snack on. Would go back!

The service was excellent they were very helpful with questions they have a good selection of pimento cheeses and crackers and charcuterie boards.

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.

What a cute and relaxing spot to grab wine and chat with friends…read more After arriving to the area, we popped in here before heading to our cabin. It was a snowy day, but the winery was beautiful. They have a lot of outdoor seating which it was too cold for but they have some covered and heated outdoor areas as well, which is where we sat. I ordered a mulled wine which was delicious and my friends split the bottle of syrah. I wasn't sure what to expect from wine in NC but I really enjoyed it. They also offer some quick snacks like charcuterie boxes, chips, etc. and have two food trucks on property. The service was friednly and on a nice day sitting in their uncovered outddoor area looking at the moutainside would be a total dream.

You will get this reference when you get there. Dawn is one of the nicest lady we've ever met. Her husband Jim was equally amazing. Now the ambiance was interesting in a great way.

We also sampled a couple sweet wines, we generally do not drink sweet, they were also equally amazing. BTW Jim went upstairs and played piano while we were there. Phenomenal !!!!! I just can't say enough good things about this winery. If I could give it a 10 star rating I would. Please give this place a visit. Thanks Dawn and Jim.

It was the perfect stop after a long day they welcomed our dog, which was a huge us for us. One of the three families that owns the winery had all of their 20 something children working . It was awesome to say the brother and sister getting along so well and helping each other out behind the bar. The cheeseboard was fantastic as was the sourdough baguette. The wine was pretty great too. Don't sleep on getting the blueberry wine. It was fantastic. Kind of tasted like a really good Manischewitz! We also had flights so we tried all of their white wines and and all of their sangrias! The fireplace is roaring which made the 20° weather even more fantastic!! They do have a great outside area with lots of games and places for the children to run. You can even get fish food to feed the fish in the pond.

The two employees in the truck greeted us and informed us of their business and available products. They offered canned wines, wine slushies, and wine slushy to-go mix. We tasted each of the 4 canned wines and the slushy. I personally liked the blackberry wine best. The slushy was refreshing and sweet, perfect for a NC summer day. The employees were friendly and patient. They answered all of our questions and are clearly passionate about their business. We chose to purchase the refillable slushy cup with $5 refills at any of the events they attend. Later in the day we returned to purchase to-go slushy mix to make in the future. All you do is put it in the freezer! Overall, we had a great experience here and recommend these wines to others!

From the owner: We are NC's oldest winery established in 1935. This is a family-owned and operated winery. read more
