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.

What an adventure. This was hands down one of the best wineries we have stopped at. Don't let the…read moreapproach scare you away. Knock on the door or call !!!! You will get this reference when you get there. Dawn is one of the nicest lady we've ever met. Her husband Jim was equally amazing. Now the ambiance was interesting in a great way. But the wine was absolutely next level. We did a dry tasting and there was not a single wine we did not like. We also sampled a couple sweet wines, we generally do not drink sweet, they were also equally amazing. BTW Jim went upstairs and played piano while we were there. Phenomenal !!!!! I just can't say enough good things about this winery. If I could give it a 10 star rating I would. Please give this place a visit. Thanks Dawn and Jim.

My friend, a sommelier, was visiting from L.A. and stopped at Euda Wine to taste the up and coming…read morewine region of the world, North Carolina. We were not disappointed. The wines delivered all the flavor notes from this unique region, light and refreshing ready to pour whites and roses. After tasting a member-only red blend '22, I became a member of the 4-bottle club! And I took home the red blend and whites/rose. Moving to Denver, NC from Napa was a stretch and I missed my vineyards and the smell of yeast/fermentation process as an intern at RustRidge.com. Visiting and becoming a member at Euda Wine has me feeling at home again (give or take +2,000 miles). Danielle, a very knowledgeable person, got to know our wine preferences and designed a perfect tasting. We also liked the snacks in their self-serve fridge to pair with the wines. She was so nice to not rush us off since we arrived ten minutes before they closed. She even took a photo of us. It was a great visit and I'm lucky to live not far to visit often. I hear the Trivia night is a hoot.

Low-key winery that's the perfect stop in Old Fort after hiking Catawba Falls! Our group of hikers…read morearrived around 12:30pm on a Saturday, and there was plenty of space inside. The A/C and fans inside kept us nice and cool - very appreciated after hiking in the heat! Service was great, and we were provided with menus and pitchers of water. The winery offers a few local snacks for purchase like meat sticks, goat cheese, and pimento cheese, and you can also BYOF. The Summer Special tasting was a flight of brut natural, sauv blanc, and rosé. The bartender did a great job describing the wines and background of the winery. I enjoyed them all - they're not as bright and crisp as you may expect, and instead they're a bit more funky. A few of my group tried the wines and didn't enjoy them, so I'd warn that they may not appeal to everyone. The rosé especially reminded us almost of an orange wine. I thought they were interesting and worth a try, but they wouldn't be my everyday go-to/may not pair as well with certain foods. For those who weren't fans of the wine by itself, they did enjoy the blueberry wine slushie - a sweeter crowd-pleaser!

Absolute five-star experience. Definitely a little bit out there but we went on a Saturday early…read moreSeptember and it wasn't too bad. They do apple picking on the hour most days. It's all listed online and very user-friendly. We showed up around 1130 and wandered around. Picked apples at noon. Then had some live music at one. Very well planned and I'm proud of the way we did it. If you're driving from Asheville, old fort is a great stopping point. We got cinnamon rolls on the way there and Hillman on the way back. It did look like this Orchard had some very affordable barbecue on site. Tons of snacks in the gift shop too. The parking lot was pretty big and they have extra parking. The staff was super kind. I love that it's a nonprofit and there's tons of educational pieces. You will find a bunch of maps and other displays. They have a bee and caterpillar to stay for kids and adults alike. The gift shop. Also both a lot of local crafts like candles, ciders, and honey. No drinking on site. The apple picking is around back. You can get a little bag or two sizes of a basket. We opted for the bag because there is no reason for us to keep a basket around. For eight dollars it's all very affordable. It got us about 12 big apples. The trees are well marked. For picking. It is lots of space for wandering. Definitely not in the shade so it's pretty hot. For me, I really like the extra things that this place had. Cornhole, checkers, Jenga... They usually have bands on the weekend too.

My husband, our 8 year old daughter and I were excited to head up to the orchard at Alta pass…read moreyesterday! We've been apple picking at a couple of the orchards to the south of Asheville, and wanted to check out this nonprofit orchard near Spruce Pine. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised to see that the crowd was reasonably sized, and we could walk around without feeling pushed and prodded. But the pleasant surprise ended there. We headed around back where we purchased two buckets for apple picking at $15/each. They were small buckets that could fit, we were told, 4-5 lbs of apples each. Okay, fine. But it was not until after purchasing the buckets that we were placed into a very touristy feeling group, and told that we'd be picking "these small and ugly (..."but delicious!") green apples. Huh? No one is going apple picking for just green apples. Are you kidding? The guide proceeded to inform us that as we walk through the orchard we absolutely, positively, should not pick the red apples because they "aren't ready and will most certainly give you a tummy ache". What?!?! Okay....still on board but feeling a little less excited. Then we start to walk toward the orchard. With a giant group of people. At a veeeerrrryyyy slow pace. And then we have to wait on a few stragglers. Seriously excruciating by this point. Finally, as we get to the orchard, the guide tells us to look for the trees with pink ties on them, an ONLY those trees. In fact, pay no mind to the beautiful red apples surrounding you on all other sides - they are not ready! No matter how they look, do NOT eat those apples! But then we are off and looking for the promised green apples....which I kid you not are almost completely picked over! My 6'5 husband could barely reach the apples, and definitely not me or my eight year old - we can only watch in horror as our husband/father scavenges the tops of the trees for "ugly but delicious green apples" on the trees to our right, while simultaneously trying to ignore the beautiful red apples on the trees to our left. I seriously felt like Eve in the garden of Eden..... And then, we noticed that everyone else in our group was feeling the same way. Then one daring person took a red apple off a tree and took a big, juicy bite from it. Gasp! I thought we'd all be wearing fig leaves and trying to hide from one another in the next instant. But lo and behold....no tummy ache. Just confirmation that the red apples were, in fact, ready to be picked (and further confirmed by the mounds of ripe, red apples also falling from those trees). The whole thing was ridiculous, and by the time we headed out of the orchard it was a big joke. Everyone was picking the red apples and putting them on the bottom of their baskets, and placing a few green apples over the red ones in hopes of looking less guilty. We all concluded that they just wanted to get the ugly but delicious green apples out of the orchard. On the way in/out of the orchard there is a cute little building that is a "cafe". We were excited to try the pulled pork with apple bbq sauce, and some fresh homemade cider! But yet again, when there was an opportunity for this place to shine, it was a huge let down. We ordered an apple cider and a green apple lemonade, which also sounded like it had the potential to be delicious because it MUST be made with ugly but delicious green apples from the orchard! Nope. It was Country Time at best, with a couple shots of Torani Green Apple syrup splashed in the bottom. The pulled pork was gross (though, granted, in this area we have high standards for pulled pork), and not cooked in the bbq sauce but rather placed on the bun and then a little sauce was ladled onto the meat, leaving the bun wet and soggy. The apple cider was apple juice, probably from Ingles. By this point, while we had planned to go purchase some goods inside, we were done. This business has SO MUCH POTENTIAL. The setting is bucolic, and the weather was perfect. I don't know who is running it, but since it's a nonprofit I took a look at their 990 and it seems like they are probably just too dependent on a volunteer board. I don't know, but I think this could be a true gem up in this area. Unfortunately, it just falls short. We'll see how my apple crisp turns out - I'll try to update my review when I find out.

They do tours and tastings and we arrived just in time to take the tour. The distiller gave lots of information but made sure to explain the process in a way that those of us who just enjoy the drinking part can understand. We had 4 products during the tasting and all were fantastic! My husband loved the smoky one, and the rye was mine. They do offer some cocktails but we unfortunately had to get back on the road. We will be back when in the area. It is out of the way, but 100% worth it.

There was a pizza truck and a taco food truck while we were there, and both were so good. We ended up walking around the property for a while - loved that we could bring our dog ... he loved it too!!! The whole place was just really peaceful and fun to explore. Great beer, great vibes, great views... we'll definitely be back!
