Guests are invited to bring a picnic and enjoy the wine and beauty of the vineyard.

We offer several exciting events throughout the year, including our monthly Music in the Vineyard series which runs from February through November. View our current list of vineyard events below.

Over 100 Years of History

Junius Lindsay Vineyard is named for owner & grower Michael Zimmerman’s grandfather, Junius Lindsay Zimmerman (left), who started the Zimmerman farm in 1896. He farmed the land until age 90, when it was passed down through each successive generation.

 

After a career in the Foreign Service, Micheal Zimmerman returned to the family homestead with a dream of transforming the century old Zimmerman farm into a vineyard that would produce fine, old world French style wines. Now a third generation farmer, Zimmerman welcomes guests to his vineyard to share his passion for fine wine, commitment to quality, and love of the local land. To learn more about our farming  and vineyard history, check out The NC Wine Guys' Cork Talk podcast episode, "Following in the Footsteps of the Rhône," or read our full story below:
