    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Weathervane is a beautiful winery in Welcome, NC![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got to try their wine tasting and the one that blew my mind the most was the sparkling wine they had, this is not your typical sparkling wine! The wine had actual sparkles in it, glitter essentially! The host let me try some hot sauce that he sells there, it was really delicious, the right amount would elevate any meal!

    Very nice people who know their wines. Lovely spot to hang out and sip a spell. Honestly, not our favorite local winery as far as the actual wines.

    I can't give 5 stars simply because I didn't try the wine but I love the atmosphere here! The wine had sparkles in it, they have an incredible place for live music, and they had yanks franks there! I'll definitely be back to spend time outdoors this summer for the live music!

    Frozen raspberry wine smoothie- they are delicious! We ordered two!

    CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! YOU WONT REGRET IT! This place is amazing! Our wine guide was so pleasant and informative. Even though we tasted the fruity wine selection, since I love red wine she, allowed us to try a red wine from the dry list. I can honestly say that EVERY. SINGLE. wine on the list is absolutely delicious! We ended up purchasing 2 bottles, (Apple, & rooster black) and two insulated stemless wine glasses with matte finish. We went on a cooler day so it was perfect for wine sampling! The vineyard is large and most certainly picture perfect! Beautiful place!! WE WILL BE RETURNING! Bottles are moderately priced and well worth every dollar! They also rent the spaces out for gathering, the day we went there was a baby shower going on. They also have cheese, crackers and hummus for purchasing with your wine. We stayed about an 2 hours, and sat at a high top table near the vineyard. Beautiful cozy place and good people! CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! YOU WONT REGRET IT!

    I really enjoy small wineries and this place is no exception. It is hidden away and you have to know where you are going in order to find it. In other words, there is a sign on the highway...but after that not so much. They have 2 buildings and the day I went, they were having a craft venue in one and wine tasting in the other. It was pretty cool. The wine tasting area had tables to sit and drink some wine. The staff was nice. This was my first time here and they were very accommodating. A lot of the wine is sweet, with some exceptions. I prefer a more dry wine. They had a Christmas special with some mulling spices, which I bought. It was delicious served hot. I always pass by here. I'm glad I finally got to stop in.

    What you need to know: Make sure you check-in for a BOGO on wine tastings! Having lived in Winston-Salem for two summers, I always wanted to try the variety of wineries around the area, and finally got the chance to do so. Weathervane represents what you would typically see from a winery. Wine tasting: The tasting was quick but very thorough as our person gave us his best with all the background of each wine and what went into each batch. I went with the reds while my friend went with the sweets. He gave us an additional tasting of some of the seasonal wines as well which was a nice touch. At $7.50 a pop ($7.50 total with the Yelp BOGO), you really cannot beat this tasting for the price. Wines: While there were one or two I wasn't a fan of, the majority of their wines were amazing. I can definitely see why people have Weathervane wines shipped all around the country! For those who like a full bodies red, try the Temperature Rising! It was phenomenal! Ambience: The inside is more of a gift shop with a bar. They have all sorts of wine-related products around from clothes to magnets and everything in between! Wish they had a more comfy space where they do the tastings, but it was still fun to browse. Overall if I'm ever in the area again, Weathervane will definitely be a stop to keep coming back to! Special shout-out to them for carrying a cheese and salami snack box which went perfectly with our wines!

    Wine slush!

    Cute little winery. I love their wines as well. I've tasted their wines before because of the NC wine festivals. They have sweet fruity wines as well as some dries. They have a little everything for everyone. My boyfriend and I came here just to get out and about on a little afternoon date, It's not too far from Winston. Everyone there is very very welcome and nice! If you have any questions about the winery or wines, they are more than happy to help, they are very knowledgeable. So never hesitate to ask them any questions. Now I've been to this winery a couple times years ago so this was the first thought in my mind when we wanted to find something to do! Their tastings are cheap! $7 (you can keep your tasting glass as well!!) for about 6 wines and if you want you can do either the fruity wines or the dry or do what we did and try both! I'm not a dry wine person, I enjoy a good Red wine or Red blend. But their wines are delicious. They have a wine slush that's AMAZING! The outdoor area is also really nice. There is a spot that is inside where you an drink your wine eat snacks and listen to live music. It's really a good time. Mask are required when you enter, but seating outside and tasting the wine of course no masks are needed. They have a lot of rocking chairs outside as well for you to sit and sip. If you're bored and want to try some good wines, check this place out. They're open everyday except on Mondays. So come out drink some delicious wines and have a great time.

    This was my first winery I have ever been to! It is located in a rural area which was nice. The drive was peaceful and it's a warm day so it was so relaxing to have the windows down listening to the Khalid Pandora station. The winery is right off the road and not hard to find. Parking was easy and the place was clean and pretty. Upon entering the the building, we were immediately greeted by an elder gentlemnan who got us started on our tasting. $7.50 each is a great price. I prefer sweet wines while my friend prefers dry. We tested 7 and of them, we each disliked at least one but all the others were good. We did get glasses of Temperature Rising and Placid Peach, and they selll boarshead meats, cheeses, and chocolate almonds. Along with some tastey non-fancy crackers. They also sell wine-themed home decor. We took our wine and food outside. Today was warmer compared to the last few days and it felt so good to relax outside. The set up for the patio we sat one was nice, I can only imagine what it'll look like when the plants grow on it again in the warmer season. They also a gazebo. Overall, I would definitely come back here.

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.

He may have appeared not nice but when I visited he was so sweet to me. I circled back and did a tasting and it was great. They do cater to the dryer palate, which I love. It was lovely trying some of the familiar ones and during my tasting, I remembered why I loved this place. The ladies that assisted me in my tasting were very knowledgeable and had excellent conversation. It was such a pleasant experience. They did let me know that the vineyard will be sold in October and hopefully, someone will continue it on. It so chill and lovely and I don't want to see it go away. If you are in the Lexington area, it's just 15 min away from Childress. I always say to support local if you can. If I had the money, I'd buy it lol. I don't want to see it go away. And those that work here, love it. If you're in the area, check it out. Even if you think you don't like wine or have a sweet palate, they will accommodate. I'm glad I stopped in. Cheers!
