Shelton Vineyards 286 Cabernet Lane, Dobson, NC 27017

"Stopped by this winery at the last minute on our way back north on Interstate 77 in late November. Very convenient location from the highway. They were decorating for Christmas so we sat outside under a heater which kept us pretty warm. The wine was delicious and we bought a bottle of white wine to take home for Thanksgiving and it also was very delicious. Would love to visit again in the spring or summer to see the whole area when it's green and colorful."

"A beautiful place to sample wine, relax, stroll, or listen to music. Excellent food and wines. We enjoyed tasting wines outside on the patio while listening to live music and soaking up the fall sun & color."

"This is our second trip here. The first was in 2021. But this time, we were returning home from another trip. We decided to stay at the local Hampton Inn. They did not have the shuttle running the day we were here, but that was cool. It is only 2.3 miles from the hotel to Shelton. The last trip here it was busy and packed. But this trip it was not. Both trips were great, but the fall colors this trip were awesome. We sat outside and enjoyed a bottle of Malbec (purchased 2 bottles to go). We will definitely be back before 2 more years."

"My husband and I had the most amazing experience here for my birthday. Upon walking into the tasting room we were welcomed with open arms. Everyone was so friendly and willing to answer any questions. We had scheduled the grand tasting tour for their barrel room, but the weather was so beautiful they surprised us by setting up a beautiful private tasting in the gazebo! Jennie was so lovely, knowledgeable, and truly made it the most special experience for my birthday. We finished our day listening to some music on the patio with a delicious flight and had a late lunch at harvest grill which was also so tasty. The wines here are delicious, there really weren’t any we didn’t love. The winemaker is so talented in his ability to pull flavors that we’ve never gotten to taste in a wine before and his tasting notes for the grand tasting were spot on. We had such a great day here and are already planning our next trip back! Thank you to Jennie, Derick, and the rest of the team for making my birthday so special!"

"My friend and I had a fantastic experience here this weekend! We paid to do the grand tasting so we got a tour of the facility and sampled several of their reserve wines. Derek was a great host and made the event very enjoyable. I think it was a great deal for the price of the tasting, will definitely be bringing some of my other friends to do it again. The vineyard grounds are also very beautiful, we sat by the fountain and watched the sunset after our tasting and it was a perfect, peaceful setting. The restaurant on site was also very good, will be leaving a separate review for that. If you are looking for something to do that's fun and still relaxing, definitely spend the afternoon here, you won't be disappointed! (unless you only like sweet wine, most of the wines in the tasting were on the dry side, but they were still very enjoyable)"
