It's safe to say our hobby has turned into an obsession. What started as a way to spend time together, has turned into a way of life.
I love that Burntshirt Vineyards in Hendersonville was the first winery we visited together. It was also where I proposed. Love sitting under their portico, enjoying the Meritage.

Love that even though we have visited almost 80 NC wineries there remain over 100 plus North Carolina wineries for us still to visit, and more opening each year.
Well... while my dear husband has listed practically all of our favorites.... he failed to mention a few.... One of our favorites is Linville Falls Winery. Even though the last time we were up there was a rainy day, we still had a good time under their covered patio. I love that doing this allows us to meet some fantastic people! That particular day we chatted with some App State students.
ReplyDeleteThat particular day we had planned to go to Grandfather Mountain Vineyard and Winery, but mother nature had other ideas. We've been there before and I enjoyed sitting in the Adirondack chairs by the creek.
Another one that has a fantastic view in my opinion is Banner Elk. We've been there once, met a lovely couple that told us about a Groupon that winery had available.
Then there's this cute little boutique winery in downtown Lincolnton called Southern Charm. They have a peach wine that is amazing to me. It's the same name as the winery - Southern Charm.
Hopefully we will have more fun to tell you about Monday!
