Easy drive from Charlotte. Very friendly staff and super helpful in deciding on new wines to try. Very chill atmosphere, so relaxing I almost took a nap in a rocking chair lol. We'll be back often!

The grounds were beautiful and they had live music and lots of outdoor seating. There wasn't a wine tasting element on my visit but I did buy a glass that was very good.

Just off I-77 in Troutman is a great place to relax in an idyllic setting. We enjoyed our visit on this beautiful fall afternoon! (see posted photos). Google maps can get you there quickly via I-77 (interstate) OR the "alternate route" which takes you through scenic back county roads. The tasting room is spacious with a cozy indoor seating area next to a fireplace. There's a private event building behind the tasting room (social event happening, so we couldn't go inside). They host weddings and receptions here. LOTS of outdoor seating (see photos)... covered patio on the hill above the lake and waterfall area. Tables and chairs for 4-6 parties are scattered throughout the grassy areas. Patio next to the tasting room had rectangular gas firepit (took the chill off the autumn air). Large selection of wines (red & white) AND "surprise" they also have beers on tap brewed by Daveste' (see photos of taps inside tasting room). Today there was "live" entertainment, so almost all the grassy spaces had folks with blankets, their own lawn chairs....singing and dancing to the music. There was also a hot dog vendor on site. However, the tasting room offers a good selection of cheeses, meats, and crackers for purchase. Bringing your own picnic basket is also welcomed. Staff greet you and interact with you like you are family. A staff member explained the new construction will be their larger wine processing plant, all under one roof. Looking forward to returning!

Really nice area to relax in or explore. Good wine selection and they also offer craft beer that was brewed on site. Covered patio and lively schedule of food trucks and live music.
