Tasting Rooms

As we continue on our circuit of the Swan Creek AVA, we stopped at Laurel Gray Vineyards. It's less than 3 miles down the road from Windsor Run Cellars. 

We stepped inside their tasting room to a wide variety of wines that are grown in their vineyard.  The grapes won't have far to go to be pressed, tanked, and bottled.  The Yadkin Valley Wine Company is right behind their tasting room and handles all their bottling needs, and they too have their own wines.

Laurel Gray's cozy tasting room expands into a second room for overflow on the weekends. You'll get to choose from 10 dry wines and 4 sweeter varieties.  Find one you like and sit and sip out on their covered porches complete with ceiling fans to keep the heat away.  Or wander onto the grounds and pull up an Adirondack chair to relax.

Their wines will impress you - as do the dozens of awards that are placed around the tasting room. Awards from International, Finger Lakes, INDY, Mid-Atlantic, and NC wine competitions attest to the quality of the wine here.  Next door in the Yadkin Valley Wine Company, you'll find wines that will surprise you in their fruit flavors with both dry and sweet varieties.  During the summer they offer tastings in their barn styled plant.  Their sipping wines will keep you refreshed on a hot summer day.   Grab one for your "porch".
