Wine Trails Win the Hearts of Travelers En
Route to the High Country
 |
For over a century, North Carolina has been the
home of vineyards, particularly in the eastern portion of the state
where Scuppernong and Muscadine wines were first cultivated. Now, the northwestern portion of the state is the location of successful attempts to cultivate European and Californian types of grapevines, particularly in the Yadkin Valley. |
Located between Winston-Salem and Boone on U.S.
421, the Yadkin Valley Wine Trail boasts 13 viable vineyards to wow
travelers.
The Trail offers self-guided tours along
beautiful backcountry roads, by bike or car, for visitors eager to taste
French and Italian wines and unique blends. Wine portage is provided
for bicyclers on the Trail, which is open Thursdays through Sundays from
1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
