The Art of the Vineyard Afternoon
Savor our award-winning wine selection in an open-air setting designed for relaxation and community. Whether you're here for a focused tasting with friends or sharing a bottle by the vines, we invite you to pack a picnic and make the space your own. We are a dedicated all-ages and pet-friendly venue, featuring lawn games and expansive grounds perfect for unwinding together.
Wine is better with a soundtrack. Beyond our signature Music in the Vineyard series (February–November), we host a curated calendar of seasonal and exclusive events throughout the year.

What to Expect in Our Open-Air Tasting Room
As North Carolina's only open-air tasting room, we offer breathtaking views of the vineyard and countryside, with refreshing breezes in the spring and summer. While we don’t have air conditioning, several ceiling fans help keep things comfortable during warmer months.
In the fall, we begin to enclose the tasting room with vinyl curtains as the weather cools, and we add heating to keep things cozy. For winter visits, we recommend dressing warmly or bringing a blanket if particularly chilly weather is expected.
