Our private tasting was perfect in every way - a total of six wines, along with the backstory of how each was produced. The live music made the afternoon even more splendid. Linville Falls Winery makes you feel like you're spending an afternoon in Tuscany. Multiple seating options, lovely gift shop, nearby food trucks - all make it a great way to spend a day in the mountains.

Loved our experience!!!…read more We stopped by for a tour and it was stunning! They had several wine options to choose from, and we got to sample 5 during our tour as well. The vineyard is relatively small and idyllic. They had food trucks, some charcuterie options, and a band playing. Lindsay led our tour and was really knowledgeable and sweet. We loved our experience and will definitely be back!

We ended…read moreup booking a driver with Yadkin Valley Vineyard Tours and the experience was fantastic (I did not book the trip but Shannan mentioned booking was a breeze). 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

The grounds were absolutely beautiful with ample seating, both near the water and across the yard near the stage. The staff was great about consistently cleaning up to keep away bees, or any sort of other pests. It was lovely to see so many families and even dogs which made it a more casual and fun experience overall. We tried the dry flight and overall really enjoyed it! We are usually red wine drinkers, but overall actually preferred the whites instead. Only negative was that they didn't have any of the umbrellas set up at the tables and the sun was quite bright and hot that day so it was difficult to find a location with shade and a table. We had to choose two chairs under some shade and use a third chair as a temporary table which made our experience a little less comfortable. We ended up purchasing two bottles of the white wines from our flight and would highly recommend others coming back in the future.

In short order, they have learned our likes and dislikes and never to fail to guide us to old and new favorites. Weekly tastings open you up to new horizons and provide a chance to taste some seriously great wines without having to spring for a bottle that is above your average spend. Then again, Graddie and Caleb also have a way to seek and find great values. A bonus is that they offer food delivered from Table 31 next door, which is always excellent and tasty. The deviled eggs, Korean Cauliflower, French Dip and French Fries (crispy until the last bite) are always good as is the rest of their menu. I've had almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed -- oh, I forgot to mention the Nashville Hot Chicken... If you haven't been to this cozy, intimate shop with a large patio area, you owe yours a treat. Cheers!
