What do wine and North Carolina have in common? A great deal, in fact. For one thing, it’s the perfect place to escape to Davidson, NC for a wine lover’s getaway.
For another, you’ll experience the renowned Yadkin Valley, home to several dozen wine producers and North Carolina’s first federally-recognized American Viticultural Area. The Valley winds through some of the most beautiful Southern small towns. Plus, we offer a variety of fine wines, private tastings, and events right here at the Inn.
Yadkin Valley Wine Trails & Tours
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and encompassing 1.4 million acres, you’ll discover plenty of stunning scenery and intimate tasting rooms in the Yadkin Valley. It will take more than one trip to experience it all, but a good place to start is one of the Valley’s Wine Trails.
- Swan Creek Wine Trail – Located in the Piedmont region of northwestern North Carolina, six family-owned vineyards are nestled in close proximity. There is designated signage with purple and green grape clusters for your convenience. Most of the wineries are open Wednesday through Sunday, however, hours do vary depending on the season, so be sure to call ahead.
- Yadkin River Wine Trail – Wine has been produced along the Yadkin River (one of the longest rivers in NC) since the early days of European colonization. Plan a day trip to explore these five wineries to enjoy tours, tasting rooms, and gift shops. This trail is a great day trip with unique sights including llamas and miniature horses, a historic farm, an organic vegetable farm, and an art studio.
- Shallow Ford Wine Trail – The four unique vineyards nestled in this historic part of the Yadkin Valley are certainly worth a visit. The area has seen skirmishes during the American Revolution and calvary during the Civil War. Only minutes apart, most of these wineries are open Friday through Sunday depending on the season. Please call ahead to ensure the days and hours of service.
