    Was able to visit this location on a Sunday. When we arrived, unfortunately, nobody was there. We waited but nobody showed up. Would love to come back and give this business another chance. The scenery was unmatched!

    Michael has a beautiful property! He's been thoughtful in his planning - even the grapevines are raised up so you can see them from the seating area. It feels like heaven on earth, relaxing....beautiful views and truly peaceful.

    This is one of the best wineries in North Carolina. We love dry reds, and they have a great selection. We visited on 4/16/2022. The hostess was both knowledgeable and pleasant. The owner was there as well, and we enjoyed having the chance to speak with him to learn a little about the grapes and the history of the winery. We will definitely return.

    A little bit of France nestled off of a country lane in Lexington, NC, Junius Lindsay Vineyard is worth stopping by. Michael Zimmerman, and the winery dog Bacchus, will be more than happy to share their love of wine with you. Michael, the grape grower, winery owner, and 'passionate about wine' proprietor built this winery on land that his grandfather was farming generations ago. Now, it is home to some French varietals like Syrah, Petit Syrah, and Viognier. The tasting room is reminiscent of an old Victorian train station and invites you to sit and enjoy a glass while gazing over the picturesque vineyards surrounding it. So, what about the wine? The wine is a miracle in NC. These are more French than typical of the region. The viognier, my favorite at this winery, is simply lovely. Michael doesn't overpower the grape. Instead, he ensures that the wine making process honors the aromatic nose and the dry mouth feel of this finicky grape. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Tell Michael that I sent you. You're in for a treat. Oh, and give Bacchus a scratch behind the ears.

    This past May just after returning from a 2 week river cruise in France, complete with many French wine pairings with our meals, we went with our family to the French-inspired Junius Lindsay Vineyard for a picnic lunch. We loved its location and outdoor tasting room! A beautiful breeze flowed through the shaded room as we gazed on lovely rows of nearby grapevines with rose bushes at the ends of the rows. The quiet location is tucked away from the road and behind a large field of corn which made it feel like our private retreat. As we ate our lunch, we basked in the lovely ambiance of the place while savoring a few of their French varietal wine offerings, particularly "Forget Me Not" and "Specialty Bubbly Rose." There were many other award winners to choose from but we'll save them for a return trip. I highly recommend this vineyard as the perfect little getaway place for spending a nice day. On Saturdays, they offer musical ensembles and performers to enjoy, too. What more can you ask for?

    This is one of the few wineries in the area that offer Rhône verities including Grenache and Syrah (both are my favorites here!).

We dined at the bistro and enjoyed one of the best meals we have ever had, paired with truly fabulous wines. Our server, Ireland, was incredibly sweet, and the entire staff was exceptionally helpful and welcoming. We even had the pleasure of spotting Richard Childress having lunch with his family during our visit. We highly recommend this spot and would easily be weekly regulars if we lived nearby.

    I had a great time during the Taste of Childress wine tasting. When you drive up, the property and…read moregreenery is very lovely. The wine tasting room was pretty with a nice layout. Rhonda and Anne were fabulous! They were very personable and equally as knowledgeable. The wine pairings with the food were good. I believe it was chips and hummus, a beef crostini, bacon wrapped date, and a chocolate shot. The food was good. I just wish the crostini was a little hotter and the chips are good with the hummus did taste a slight bit stale. The wine was the star of the show. I even found a red wine that I liked and I don't like red wines. The people in the tasting were So friendly and I enjoyed their company. I also got truffles/chocolate before I left. They were not bad, they just weren't my favorite. I would try other options because there were a lot to choose from. I would love to come back during one of their speciality events. Overall, I'm glad I came.
