Stony Knoll is now one of my "Must Visit" vineyards in NC. Is a hidden gem that we've driven past before, but it's arguably one of the best vineyards in NC. Two weeks ago my wife and I stumbled upon this place will visiting a few vineyards. The main serving room is beautiful, environment is peaceful and the wine surprisingly good. We did a full tasting and sampled several wines. Pour after pour we were thoroughly impressed with everything they served. Not only did we love the wines, we loved the variety of wines to match different palates. What also impressed us was the owner took the time to come out and speak with us to discuss the craft of wine making. Absolutely try the Viognier and The Black Oak Stick Chambourcin. You can't go wrong with these. read more

A beautiful, well maintained, family owned and operated winery. The large lodge is perfect for a big family gathering or for hosting an event. We had the pleasure of meeting and speaking at length with one of the owners. The wine tasting "flight" I enjoyed offered a generous portion of 6 different wines. I purchased a table crafted from a wine barrel very reasonably priced. It's a unique piece I will enjoy for many years. Overall, a great experience. Highly recommend. read more

Lovely setting. We each got a wine flight. Tasted all of the whites, Rosé and Barrel Fermented Chardonnay were our favorites. The Reds were where this vineyard shone. Of note is the Corot Noir, a hybrid out of Cornell University. Interesting and unique. Our overall favorite was the Hungarian Chambourcin, aged in Hungarian oak barrels. We bought a case of wine, which meant we got 10% off the total and our tastings were free. Looking forward to a return visit. read more

We visited on a Thursday around 11:30 do we were the only ones here. We started with a tasting of 6 got $12. Very generous pours. 3 reds and two whites and a rose. The Hungarian Chambourcin is very good. Just a hint of oak and a nice black cherry finish. The Corot Noir is about the easiest drinking red I've had. Like it says, I think it would be excellent chilled. We are white drinkers but I liked the reds better myself. They also have in house sangria by the glass. It's a very nice relaxing place. A nice outdoor patio to soak up the view or a indoor tasting room with comfortable sitting areas. read more

We didn't eat anything here but the staff was very friendly and the wine is very good. The ambiance of the place is amazing and the view when sitting outside was beautiful. You could see the vineyard right in front of you. The home made sangria was terrific. read more

Loved the Hungarian Chambourcin & Ardella Blanc. The homemade sangria was yum!! Stop in, have a flight & enjoy!!

I wish Stony Knoll Vineyard was closer to home! The setting is lovely , tasting room is very warm and inviting with outdoor and indoor space . Staff ( including family members) very informative and friendly . I had a Chardonnay , my husband a Pinot Noir .. we left with bottles of each , and more . Good thing we were able to walk to our Airbnb . We visited several wineries in the Dobson area and Stony Knoll our favorite ! read more

This is the place to come if you want good serving portions. Great location, and Good Wine!

What a wonderful experience.... the wines, setting, family owned winery best in Dobson... worth to visit. Spent friend's birthday there & Van & family could not be more hospitable. read more

Stony Knoll features gorgeous views and friendly staff! I really did love getting to try this place out. It was so awesome to hear the story of the vineyard! The three star review is simply due to my personal taste in wine. I have been to many wineries in the Yadkin Valley and although Stony Knoll's wine was not bad, it did not hit it for me regarding the taste. I loved the mouth feel, however some of the wines just felt like something was missing in the taste. They did not feel "full" but instead vanishing. I did, however, enjoy their sweet wines (I am usually a dry wine lover so that was a surprising twist for me). They have one that tastes just like Welch's grape juice!! Nice place to visit, just isn't for me. read more

We very much enjoyed our Monday trip here. The stainless Chardonnay was the best I've ever had in any state and we ended up with a case- great price. The view is beautiful, so quiet and peaceful. Lots of outdoor space. Covid precautions were all in place which we appreciated. Everyone was exceptionally friendly and so knowledgeable. A 10/10 experience, I would recommend this place over any others in the area for sure. read more

Both mine and my wife's favorite winery. The Red Table Wine is inexpensive but fantastic for the price. They could sell it for more but glad they don't. They also have more high end ones as well. Van is friendly and accommodating. First wine club we ever joined. read more

This is my favorite vineyard in the yadkin valley wine region! Van, the wine maker and owner is very knowledgeable and friendly. Every time I'm in the area I make sure to stop by. There's a great wine for every palate (dry, sweet, semi- sweet.) Not only is the service great as the wine is, but there's an incredible view of the vineyard. If the weather is nice, there's a outdoor fireplace and patio to sit and enjoy then sunset. If you decide you want to stay the weekend in the area there's a beautiful rustic cabin right across the property! read more

So, I have a friend who is a sommelier and we were on vacation visiting family. We stopped by this winery because a family member suggested it. Now I do not like wine. So my friend, the sommelier, takes this as a real challenge. She's bound and determined to get me to like wine. First, the place is beautiful with sweeping hills topped with vines. The owner greeted us at the door and was very cheery and good-humored. Big surprise, I didn't like the regular wines. So my friend suggested ice-style wine. It was better than the others because it cut down the fermentation taste. However, they had me try the mulled wine and I actually did like it! So that's pretty impressive because I haaaate wine. So I suggest you try this place. read more

Laura & Mark from Charlotte: Only a 60 minute drive up I-77 from our neighborhood off of West W.T. Harris Blvd. Our fantastic neighbor Nicole made arrangements for our party of 22 neighbors. We were greeted with table-clothed and decorated tables and refreshing ice waters so we could relax while wine tasting. Sure beats a typically crowded winery bar. The congenial and enthusiastic/passionate owner was quite knowledgeable of the many wine varieties and subtle flavors. Happily departed with several bottles. You folks have to start packaging and selling your outrageously delicious tropical sangria. Would love to have a Solo cupful or two while watching the Carolina Panthers. Many local wineries within 15 minutes. Thanks for a delicious experience! Much success on future harvests and vintages! Can you mail me a gallon jug of that sangria?! read more

We recently visited Stony Knoll on a recommendation from some friends who visit Yadkin Valley quite a bit. The wines were good, but none made me want to take a bottle home. Had it not been threatening rain it would have been nice to enjoy a glass outside on the patio which overlooks their lovely farm. Their tasting room is pretty large and it surprised me they didn't have a few more seating options in there. I was down at the far end of the bar and tended to miss out on any insights gathered from the more talkative folks in our group. I think it was the owners who were doing the tastings that day. They were both very nice. I wish they had provided a few more verbal tasting notes while doing the pours, though. read more

What a nice place. The owner is so friendly and so is the staff. We had a great tasting and loved, loved, loved the wines. Glad a friend sent us a Groupon to give it a try. In the Summer you can bring pets and a picnic basket and stay for a while. A little out of the way but I would say well worth it read more

The BEST sangria I've ever had. I wish they had bottles of it. Great people. Wonderful experience, wish we lived in the area so we could come back! read more

Cute little vineyard in the rolling hills of North Carolina! The tasting room is open and welcoming. It shad a very warm vibe with the biggest carpet I've ever seen! The owner/wine maker greeted us at the door with a big smile and set us up for a tasting. We got to try a sip of everything. I really enjoyed their reds, the family fell over themselves for their ice style wines and mulled wine. We went home with several bottles. The wine was nice but I really enjoyed the warm hospitality of the owner. We had a great conversation about wine and he let me poke around the vineyard which made my little wine heart happy. I even picked up some tricks from him on helping non wine drinkers get use to it. Tours are by request. The view is stunning. Pricing is quite reasonable. read more

Excellent selection, and the tastings are a really good value. Staff is extremely friendly and overall this is a great and beautiful place!

Try the sangria. Really. The owner is nice, and the wines are delicious. This is a little off the beaten path, but was well worth the trip! read more

Fantastic experience. This is a quality winery with some exceptional wines. If you're lucky enough to get Van as your pourer he is the most enthusiastic winemaker I've encountered in a long time. Not since I toured Murphy Goode in California have I encountered such passion for wine. read more

The best winery in the area!!!! We loved everything that the owner poured for us. The property and facility are gorgeous, we wish we had more time to spend on their patio with the fireplace. Owner was knowledgeable, super friendly, and a wonderful conversationalist. read more

Stony Knoll is beautiful, and the owner, Van, is a treasure. Restful atmosphere. I'm not a dry wine fan, but their sweet wines are great and their dessert wine is beyond awesome. (Keep in mind, I'm not a wine connoisseur, just an ol' country gal who enjoys a glass of the fruit of the vine with good people...) Look forward to going back just to sit under the pergola to enjoy a bottle and good conversation with Van! read more

A nice winery and very friendly staff. Chardonnay was very tasty.

This is my favorite vineyard in the area. It was love at first sight for me and my husband when we were looking for a venue for our wedding. The owner greeted us at the door and could not have been more gracious. We are proud to say that he has become a dear friend. The wines are great, from the dry reds to the delicious sweets. Highly recommend dropping by for a visit. Bobbi, Kathy, Patricia and Van are all amazing...you will not be disappointed. read more

Stoney Knoll Vineyards sits on a picturesque foothill in the Yadkin Valley in between two mountain ranges. we took a very informative tour behind the scenes of how they make their fantastic wine. The wine tour is a must. The staff is very knowledgable and friendly. We did the full tasting and each wine tasted was consistantly smooth and flavorful. read more

Stony Knoll Vineyard was our top choice from out weekend in Yadkin Valley. The wines were fabulous and we purchased 5 different types and 2 aged balsamic vinegars. Van was an excellent host and gave us the background to each wine. We also stayed in their 1850's restored gorgeous cabin which can be found on AirBnB. I highly recommend staying there. I definitely plan on going back during my next NC vineyard tour! read more

My now husband and I decided to have our wedding at Stony Knoll, and we were very pleased to say the least. This vineyard was one of the first places we called when we were looking for wedding spots, and we were greeted by Van on the phone. He was very patient, kind, and explained all of our options and encouraged us to visit. As time went by we visited lots of vineyards, but finally made it to Stony Knoll and we were blown away. The vineyard itself is a bit of a drive off the interstate, but this place is like a gem tucked away. The views are absolutely amazing, and they have a nice selection of white and red wines. We decided to have our wedding there after talking with Patricia about particulars and our date was set! We were so happy with the way our wedding turned out. We were very lucky with weather, and got married on top of the "knoll" looking down on the vineyard. They were very flexible with letting us use the grounds as well as the cabin across the street, which is where we ladies got ready and where my husband and I spent our wedding night. It was gorgeous and so rustic - exactly what we were looking for. Stony Knoll provides the chairs and arbor for the ceremony, and even provided vines for us to decorate the arbor with. We ended up renting a tent and a dance floor to put outside, and we set up the food, gifts, and cake in the tasting room. The vineyard lets you bring your own beer to the site, so that was convenient as well (you do have to use their wine, though). Stony Knoll provided the bartenders, and Patricia was there each step of the way helping the wedding move along. Our guests had a great time and so many people commented on how beautiful the setting was. We sat on the front porch of the cabin that night just marveling at how perfect the day was and how the Coe family at Stony Knoll helped make it so special for us. read more

Cute atmosphere and really nice staff! They have a great variety of wines. My favorites are the reds, especially the cab franc.
