Yadkin Valley Wine Trail ® - Home Page
The Heart of North Carolina Wine Country
With a superb combination of sun, soil and
soul,
the Yadkin Valley wineries are ideally located in the North Carolina region
that is rapidly gaining a reputation for growing high-quality grapes and producing world-class wines. Located in the Piedmont area of the Tar
Heel State, wineries in the Yadkin Valley benefit from what many winemakers consider the best
terroir in North Carolina. In recognition of these unique features, the
federal government approved the Yadkin Valley American Viticulture Area (AVA), effective February
7, 2003. This Yadkin
Valley Wine Trail ® website was established in early 2002 to provide a single stop
for wine lovers seeking information about the wine, wines, wineries, vineyard, vineyards, bed and
breakfasts, hotels and other lodging, restaurants and other dining, antiques and antique stores, art galleries, winery tours and other
businesses affiliated with winery tourism in the Yadkin Valley.
With historic links that stretch from the original
native Americans, to the Moravian settlers in the 1750s, to Daniel Boone, to the
Revolutionary War, to the War Between the States, to Tom Dula (Tom Dooley) and
Mayberry,
and with wine festivals and tasting events, music festivals, craft and antique fairs, the
businesses along and around the Yadkin Valley
Wine Trail ® contain a wonderful combination of Americana history, culture, arts and music along with award-winning wines. Enjoy!
