Farming isn’t all about corn and potatoes.  Located in the heart of the Yadkin Valley North Carolina, along the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains lies a fertile, sun-soaked landscape rich for growing grapes organically, which eventually wind up being pressed into some of North Carolina’s wine country’s most delicious wines. Several varieties of muscadines and hybrid American grapes, all organically raised and picked by hand, are used to produce naturally sumptuous wines for enjoying in all occasions.

Carolina Heritage Vineyard and Winery, a 35-acre farm about three miles east of Elkin, North Carolina, has been doing business since 2005.  This might not seem like a very long time, but North Carolina is a state with a long and prestigious wine history. Prior to the Prohibition, the state had more vineyards than any other state, and is just now beginning to be noticed again as a wine producing area.

Enjoy the video below to see what Carolina Heritage Winery has to offer tourists and day visitors, and arrange a trip there for yourself sometime.  The area of Elkin is lovely in the fall when the leaves are bright with color, and the curving roads of the foothills provide you with a sense of the nearness of the mountains.  This will be a tour you’ll be glad you took.
