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!

Rita gave us spectacular service and we were indeed BLOWN AWAY! We were planning on bringing home 2 bottles but ended up getting 7!!! The value is excellent! 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.

There is usually music and a food truck if you check their events calendar. Even if they don't have things going on, it is still a great place to sit back and relax in an Adirondack overlooking the water. There is a cute tire swing and plenty of grass area for kiddos to run around and play. I always enjoy getting a flight so I can enjoy several of their wines. I actually like their muscadine wines surprisingly. They also have the most amazing strawberry cake that is made with their wine! I go every year for my birthday to get a slice. In the summer, it is also nice to get a win slushy as well. The owners are always very friendly and their dogs will likely greet you as well. No beverages may be brought to the property but bring yourself a little picnic of food to enjoy with your wine.

Not only did they attempt to charge me for my brother-in-laws room, they couldn't figure out which one was clean or not. We got a standard king room which was very nice and completely appropriate for what we paid. However, my aunt and uncle got this huge suite that had a full size kitchen (with plenty of EMPTY cabinets...why have that many cabinets if you're not going to have plates, cups, or even untensils!) refrigerator (ice machine didn't work) and a fire place that also didn't work. I have no idea what they paid for it but I hope they got some of their money back. All in all, it was a clean, safe place to stay...just don't overpay!

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.

After a tasting, we had freedom to view the growing areas, a lovely cabin for seeing the grounds from an elevated area, and see some adorable goats as well as see Fred and Barney, the resident hogs on the property.
