They made the experience so fun and were incredibly personable, informative, and accommodating. It was the perfect team event. Many people didn't know each other beforehand, and this was such a great way to connect, get to know one another, and enjoy time together outside of work. Highly recommend!

But in this case it was really wonderful it allowed people to enjoy themselves, be involved even if public things are uncomfortable l, especially for people that don't like to be singled out.

They even have beverages for sale there, so wet during the whole fun gaming experience

Beautiful tasting room and grounds this winery owned by Richard Childress of NASCAR fame is well…read moreknown in this area. 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 truly appreciate the great job and the attention to detail that these ladies offered during our Victory Wine Tasting Experience. Pro-Tip: Book reservations online.

Community theatre is the heart of downtown Concord is full of charm, local talent and so much fun!…read moreI have attended quite a few plays, but this time we took in "A Time to Kill" and it was a delight! The quaint theatre boasts beautiful stained glass windows and comfy seats and the cozy community theatre vibe where no seat in the house is a bad one. We were on the front row center this time and loved it! The actors in this production were spot on and I loved the OCT adaption of the book/movie. The comedic moments had us laughing, but the serious moments were quite powerful in this intimate setting, and even though I knew the story, found myself leaning towards the stage waiting to see what was next! Visit the website for upcoming plays and patronize this precious hometown gem, you won't be disappointed! There is local artwork for sale in the lobby and light refreshments offered as well for reasonable prices. For every play I've attended at least part of the cast is mingling with the patrons following the play and I just adore that! So fun to chat with them and share your thoughts about that night's production. I can't wait to go back soon...seriously - check it out! It's not fancy but full of charm, not pricey but well worth the ticket price and not broadway, but an awesome way to spend a couple of hours and support local actors and musicians - what more can you ask for?
