    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!).

A hug thank you to Mama Carolyn and her two sons Devin and Logan who assisted us with our food purchases, chocolates and wines. Also the attendant who I told I forget names...LOL) We really appreciated the help getting our purchases to the table downstairs where the back lawn is located. Everyone we came in contact with were welcoming and kind. There was also live music which was such a nice touch! The back lawn is beautiful and relaxing. I wish I lived closer so I could enjoy the beauty of the space weekly. Please visit the vineyard and enjoy a relaxing time with delicious food, all your favorite wines and live music! Also, don't forget to meet Mama Carolyn.... You will love her!!!!!

We came on a busy Saturday and the pourer said this was how it was when it was a race day down in Charlotte. People were bringing their little kids along with them to get their wine on before the race....yikes. The tasting room was nice as I said, large and full of wine to purchase and swag to buy. 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.

I still have a soft spot for Blue Norther and Rooster Black! Post-grad, I found myself there often with family and friends, particularly at their Friday "Wine-downs," featuring live music and wine slushies that the whole community loved. I hope they make a comeback! The best thing about this place is the fun, relaxed vibe. While they're best known for their sweet wines, they have a solid range of traditional dry offerings that I've come to appreciate more since those early days. :) The tasting room staff is friendly and knowledgeable without being pretentious, so it's perfect for wine newbies and enthusiasts alike. The venue itself is beautiful, with a gazebo, amphitheater, and well-kept grounds. I've been to a couple of weddings and a baby shower there, and they were all lovely. Overall, a laid-back, genuinely fun destination worth the drive. Highly recommend!

It seemed they had a pretty extensive list of wines to choose from. They had a large, spacious indoor area for sitting, but also a lot of outdoor space and a medium sized covered patio with fans to help with the heat. The woman working the bar was very friendly and I heard her making a number of recommendations. Personally I'm not a wine drinker, but they did also have a small selection of beers to pick from as well We had a great visit and I'd go back to enjoy a nice day, maybe when the weather begins to cool, at least a little

Everyone I was with ended up going for the flight and they brought them out pretty quickly despite being really busy on a Sunday afternoon. The flights might be a little small but the price was pretty affordable so it was worth it in my opinion. There's plenty of outside tables and there's a few tables inside. There's also a cute store inside with some local products. I personally love dessert wine so I love the variety of dessert wines they have. Every wine I tried was really good though. They did come around & ask if we wanted to join the wine club and gave us a sample of a club exclusive wine, but they weren't pushy at all when we said we weren't interested in joining. We also had a charcuterie board which I wish I took a picture of. It was delicious - it had cheese, crackers, olives, chocolate covered pomegranates (I think), and I'm sure I'm forgetting something else. Overall, a really enjoyable place to go with friends or a nice date spot! They seem to have a lot of good events worth checking out too.
