    I went for a friends birthday celebration. We did the signature tasting that consist of 9 premium wines. And toured the facility. We had a great time. Oh the tour comes with a charcuterie board. The cheeses were delicious.

    Very nice winery with grounds that are gorgeous, especially if you want to bring your own food for an outdoor picnic. They have beautiful trees, water features all around with plenty of outdoor seating and live music. The inside has a large enough tasting area if you wanted to be inside. The wine itself was delicious.

    Shelton is absolutely beautiful with pond, creek, trails, tables in the shade and gorgeous landscaping. The tasting room has some unique gift items -- & I tht I had seen it all, but they have novelty worth the visit. The wines I tasted were fantastic and I purchased some along with a cute dishtowel. I have sampled wines nationwide and these were consistently exceptional.

    Always a great experience at Shelton! I absolutely love the wines! On this visit, they had an Irish band playing, which was a treat! I also very much enjoy looking around the shop. They always have so much cool stuff! I'm looking forward to my next visit to Shelton! The tasting room manager, Derek is the bomb!

    I honestly can't say enough good things about Shelton. Our pourer, Cindy, was friendly and extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The tasting room is great and there are tons of excellent seating places inside and out. The grounds are beautiful and there is a large pond with some bridges and walking paths. Cindy gave us a couple of bags of fish food and we took it to one of the bridges and saw a lot of hungry catfish eat it up. All of the wines we tried were delicious and the price point was extremely reasonable. We thought this was such a great place we got a membership and look forward to coming back and sharing the experience with friends. We came away with a couple of bottles and I am looking forward to opening them.

    So happy to have found this winery. Their Cab Franc was mellow but wow ..complex and beautiful. We bought a bottle of their port since we could taste the chocolate, black cherry and toffee notes. Not only did we buy some bottles but we became members! This place is so beautiful. The grounds are peaceful and well kept. Can't wait to come back, enjoy live music and picnic here. Thanks Cindy for taking care of us.

    I honestly have no words. The best winery I've been to in NC hands down. It's so beautiful and picturesque. All the white wines were amazing. It's not the typical muscadine grape NC winery. There is also a restaurant on site. We came for an anniversary celebration and it was so perfect. Tamara was literally everything. Our tasting was so customized . I'm coming back in Sept with friends. Somebody put this place on TV. It's the best!!!

    This has taken the place of my favorite vineyard in NC! Tamara was our tour guide, and she did an amazing job. It's always a pleasure to have a guide who enjoys the wine as much as the participants. She was very knowledgeable and friendly to us. If you visit, do the private cellar tour, you will not be disappointed. I plan on making this place a monthly visit. Can't wait to come back!

    Gorgeous day today to visit Shelton Vineyards. We walked the area and enjoyed the trails and lakes. They have many beautiful areas to sit at and enjoy the views. This is a spectacular location and relaxing. We ate at the grill and loved the roaring fire behind us. The view was lovely on the patio. I ordered the burger with pimento cheese. This came with pasta and Gouda cheese. YUM. The burger was cooked the way I like but I was underwhelmed with the taste. The bun was over cooked and the burger was not flavorful or juicy. I also wanted more zing with the pimento cheese. For the price of $17.00 I expected more. Our server was amazing. She was so friendly and bubbly. I loved her enthusiasm. Between her and the winery is why I'm giving a 5 star today. The gift shop is a must. It's full of great gift ideas and beautiful goodies. I love this winery and its location and can't wait to return.

    We had a fantastic day at Shelton Vineyards! Started the day with a tour, inside and out. I can't remember our guide's name, but he does all kinds of jobs at the winery. He was awesome, and knowledgeable. Very interesting, and included info about the Shelton family. We then had a Grand Tasting in the "cave". Everything was beautiful and delicious. This tasting included 9 wines and charcuterie. We came back later for dinner. Again, everything was delicious. Our waiter, Benson, was calm, efficient, and polite. We had a group of 20, and that was no easy task. He even drove us back to the Hampton Inn where we were staying. When have you ever gone to a restaurant and had your waiter drive you home‽ A terrific day at Shelton Vinyard!

    After a delicious meal at Harvest Grill, we spent the afternoon sipping wine at Shelton Vineyard. Although it was gorgeous outside it was just cold enough that my group wanted to remain indoors. We perused the gift shop first and were amused by the clever sayings on some of the dish towels. They had truffles and small charcuterie boards for sale in addition to the merchandise. As an NC State alumni it was cool to see that Shelton had partnered with NC State to create a red blend wine which was on display. Our server was really cool and patient as we explored the wine menu. I decided to stick with red wine since that's what I had at brunch, but I upped the ante by ordering from the list of reserves. I did go a little off brand by adding a rosé and a port. The other wines that I ordered were the 259 Malbec and 259 Petit Verdot. I forget the fifth one I ordered. Of the five the Petit Verdot was my favorite.  The "trees" they use for flights of wine are so cute! It also allows the servers to place the wine in descending order so you start from the top and work your way down. I appreciated the thoughtful touch of including oyster crackers as palete cleansers and a piece of dark chocolate for my glass of port. There was live music which added a nice touch to the ambiance. He was just the right volume and would literally play any requests from his list of songs. Overall I really enjoyed my afternoon at Shelton and look forward to returning some day.

    Shelton Vineyards has beautiful grounds and plenty of parking. Customer Service is lacking though. I went to the winery building to get a ticket for a tour and couldn't get anyone to acknowledge me. I was planning to purchase some wine for gifts but they didn't want my business.

    The grounds of this place are really very beautiful, and I've heard the restaurant is great, but unfortunately we didn't get to try it. The tasting bar is standing room only, but they do have a couple of tables you can bring your flight over to if you choose. The service was good, but they don't really teach you anything about the wines while you are there, not to mentions the wines were really not very good. They had a live musician while we were there who was great. Overall, this place would be a pass for me when choosing wineries in this area.

The tasting room looks like a barn and is very welcoming inside. There are plenty of seats for everyone. The warm weather had me wanting a white wine with my lunch. I chose their pinot gris. It has a crisp taste with notes of citrus. On my first visit I had a flight of all their offerings. My favorites are the Sweet Pea white blend and the Franc the Tank red blend. The old tobacco barn across from the tasting room offers another space to hang out and enjoy the view. There is also an accommodation below that makes for a unique holiday experience.
