They have a lot of outdoor seating which it was too cold for but they have some covered and heated outdoor areas as well, which is where we sat. I ordered a mulled wine which was delicious and my friends split the bottle of syrah. I wasn't sure what to expect from wine in NC but I really enjoyed it. They also offer some quick snacks like charcuterie boxes, chips, etc. and have two food trucks on property. The service was friednly and on a nice day sitting in their uncovered outddoor area looking at the moutainside would be a total dream.

I also have a very large covered area as well as a fully enclosed room which came in handy today because the mountains are finally getting some rain after about 7 weeks of drought. Will definitely come here again when in the area and most likely will come up here to get a tree this Christmas.

It was the perfect stop after a long day they welcomed our dog, which was a huge us for us. One of the three families that owns the winery had all of their 20 something children working . It was awesome to say the brother and sister getting along so well and helping each other out behind the bar. The cheeseboard was fantastic as was the sourdough baguette. The wine was pretty great too. Don't sleep on getting the blueberry wine. It was fantastic. Kind of tasted like a really good Manischewitz! We also had flights so we tried all of their white wines and and all of their sangrias! The fireplace is roaring which made the 20° weather even more fantastic!! They do have a great outside area with lots of games and places for the children to run. You can even get fish food to feed the fish in the pond.

We came here this weekend to try their wines. We were visiting a couple other wineries that day,…read morebut this was the only new one for us. 5 stars to them for being friendly, dog friendly, and having a great space. I am a sweet wine fan and they did have several to choose from - moscato, peach, blackberry, strawberry, apple, sangria, and cranberry. I loved the flight boards and how they served them. Unfortunately that is where the joy ends. Every single one of their wines tasted like watered down kool-aid or fruit juice - or as Scott said - home kit wines. I tasted no hint of wine in any of their wines. I was so nervous about getting blackberry merlot since merlot is a dry wine, but it was just a light blackberry juice. The only one we remotely enjoyed was the peach. Again, lovely winery, lovely indoor and outdoor seating, great hosts, but the wine is just not my style or preference. I do however recommend going to give it a try since you may love it or just a good winery to visit and hang out at.

I first stumbled upon this place about 3 years ago when I drove from Boone with my dog exploring…read morethe area. I stopped in, brought him with me (they're dog friendly!) , and tasted some wines. Delicious! I've since been back many times, bringing my cousin, friends, parents, and boyfriend. Everyone loves the wine here! I am not a sommelier so I can't explain my reasons for liking wine or not, but it seems that literally every wine is delicious. I usually go for the flights which include small pours and a souvenir tasting glass. Last time I was here a few months ago, I think my boyfriend and I ordered 3 flights so that we could taste and share all 12 red, white, and blend wines. Good choice, and relatively inexpensive. The food here is also good. I don't think they have a standard menu, but I've tried both the pepperoni pizza and a BBQ sandwich meal from here. When ordering food initially, it was just meant to "hold us over" until we got to the next place. But hot damn, the food is seriously DELICIOUS. Trust me and order from here! Lastly, this location is in an old schoolhouse. There's a lot of history here and the folks are willing to share that with you. Just talk to them! I'll have to admit that the winery itself is not as nice on the eyes as some others nearby in terms of being fancy or chic or whatever... instead, the vibe is homey, quaint, and welcoming. Bring a friend or two, make the drive, and enjoy!
