Experience North Carolina Wine Country

Over the past three decades, North Carolina has gone from just a handful of wineries to more than eighty. And that number just gets bigger every year. For visitors to NC wine country, it means a friendly, relaxed atmosphere for tastings and tours, and wineries that have distinctive flavors and settings. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or a newbie, whether you prefer whites or reds, merlot or muscadine, North Carolina wineries will have a bottle just right for your taste… and enjoyable experiences that will keep bringing you back.

If you’re traveling from the Charlotte area to the mountains around Asheville (or vice versa), this five-winery trail is a perfect sampler of the North Carolina Wine Country experience. From the muscadine wines produced at WoodMill Winery to the classic varietals grown at Rockhouse, from the small family-run operations at Owl’s Eye and Green Creek to America’s most visited winery at Biltmore, you will see and taste a wide range of NC wines and can explore the methods by which they’re produced. Plus, you’ll see some amazing North Carolina scenery along the way!
