    the wines we bought

    We stopped into Curran Alexander Vineyards last week on our way home. We've been there before. I remember liking their wines but not being blown away. Well, hold the presses!! 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.

    Been wanting to check this vineyard out for sometime, the mention of European grapes was what drew us here. The grounds are very nicely maintained and the tasting room is air conditioned a with ample room. Staff is very friendly and courteous. When we parked and were walking towards the tasting room a gentleman thank us for coming. Nice guy! Even though they were very busy , Rita was able to attend to us and provide a taste of the Meritage red wine. It was so good that we just decided to get a bottle instead of doing the tasting. We plan to come back with friends next time.

    Tasting with outdoor covered and open air seating.

    What a wonderful place to stop and share a bottle of wine on your way down Highway 52. The wines are typical of European quality and tastes, with a couple of sweet wines for those who have a sweet tooth. Their grounds and tasting rooms are beautiful. The vineyard looks well cared for and there are lots of historical markers to give you an idea of the history that is part of the region. Highly recommend this stop as it is only 20 minutes from Winston-Salem and you can enjoy the outdoor areas along with their new spacious tasting room. Service was great. We were early to arrive, right after lunch and it soon started filling up after a wonderful chat and a tasting with Rita. Lots of good information on the wines and the history of Curran Alexander Vineyards.

    This spot is seriously so freaking cute!!!!! The best winery in the area - hands down. The tasting room is air-conditioned and so comfortable, sunny, clean and cozy! When you walk in you'll be greeted by the sweetest sommelier and all of North Carolina - Holly. The landscaping on this property is absolutely stunning - I honestly felt like I was in a dream or maybe even in heaven. If you're looking for a relaxing date day - this is your spot!

    Great wine selection and great people. So many great things happening at this winery. Will soon have a new tasting room and a event/airbnb rental house. We got a tour of the house. Lovely folks that own and manage the winery. This will be an Awesome place to stay.

    My friends and I were doing some winery visits and Curran Alexander Vineyards was one of the stops. It ended up being our favorite one! The property is small but pretty. It has a nice welcoming feeling and the employee that helped us was nice and knew a lot about the winery and wine. The tasting room is small but they have a wonderful outdoor area to enjoy. The best part of Curran Alexander was the wine, it was a much better quality than I have found at most of the other local vineyards.

    I have no idea why it's taken me years to discover Curran Alexander Vineyards. Beautiful grounds with an eye for history and producing fantastic wines...seriously. CAV focuses on producing high quality reds (although the Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc were tasty in their own right) and they seem to have cellared some of the oldest remaining reds in NC (most wines for sale in 2020 are vintage between 2007 and 2010). They've held up remarkably well, and I would rank the Reserve Cabs and Reserve Merlot as some of the best in the state. The testing room is on the smaller side, but it's cozy and there's plenty of outdoor covered and uncovered seating. The people are fantastic and enjoy talking about the Vineyard, its history, and the terrific wines. Right off of 150, the vineyard is easy to find. I can't wait to come back and enjoy more of what CAV has to offer.

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!

Thank goodness they weren't too busy when we were there because there was only one seserver. He was super nice and attentive as he could be seeing as how he was running in and out to serve the interior and exterior guests and also making the drinks!

He may have appeared not nice but when I visited he was so sweet to me. I circled back and did a tasting and it was great. They do cater to the dryer palate, which I love. It was lovely trying some of the familiar ones and during my tasting, I remembered why I loved this place. The ladies that assisted me in my tasting were very knowledgeable and had excellent conversation. It was such a pleasant experience. They did let me know that the vineyard will be sold in October and hopefully, someone will continue it on. It so chill and lovely and I don't want to see it go away. If you are in the Lexington area, it's just 15 min away from Childress. I always say to support local if you can. If I had the money, I'd buy it lol. I don't want to see it go away. And those that work here, love it. If you're in the area, check it out. Even if you think you don't like wine or have a sweet palate, they will accommodate. I'm glad I stopped in. Cheers! And if you're in the area, please check it out.

There were a number of different places in the tasting room (building), I think I counted five places you in different parts of the building you could taste wine. There is a bistro in a separate building, it seemed okay, we didn't get food. The wine was decent, but not stellar, so that is the four instead of five star from me. Worth a visit if you're heading up or down to Charlotte or just are in the area.

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.
