Grassy Creek Vineyard & Winery 235 Chatham Cottage Lane, State Road, NC 28676

"Wayne, Joyce, and Cynthia make this place what it is! From the warm welcome, to the amazing atmosphere and wine, you’ll be captivated from the moment you walk in and will not want to go home. The property has trails, cabins, the amazing tasting room etc., it’s no wonder this place is always packed! We live here and come frequently because it’s a little slice of heaven that everyone needs to experience for therapy! Not only for the wine, but for the trails that provide the therapy everyone needs to escape the day to day monotony!"

"We popped in after the Enchanted Forest hike and sat outside and ate the lunch my daughter-in-law had prepared for the group. The grounds were so beautiful and full of nature and fresh air. Very peaceful and comfortable. Friendly and inviting atmosphere. Wonderful man inside set up a wine tasting for me and I don't drink wine so this was another adventure. I'm sure they were all good but to me - a non wine drinker it was a bit bitter. One day I will find the wine for me. I purchased honey while there and it is so delicious. Honey was $15.00"

"Absolutely fantastic dry wines- so good that we couldn’t choose, so we bought one of each! The tasting room is in what was formerly the stables- extremely homey and comfortable. Plenty of seating inside and out, fire pit, corn-hole boards, live music and food trucks on weekends. The entrance to a trail that goes to Carter falls (2 miles roughly) is on the property as well. We will definitely be back soon to hike to the falls and finish up with a nice bottle. Thank you Cindy!"

"This is a must see for yourself vineyard. It's nestled in a Beautiful setting. They offer guine cable rentals that were built back in the 1800's. It was formerly a dairy farm and they use the old milk delivery bottles as wine bottles. They are so unique!"

"We are extremely happy we found this hidden gem. It’s only 1hour 15 minutes away from Charlotte! There was wine for everyone, red, white, sweet and dry! We tried different local cheeses and crackers and created our own charcuterie board. There was live music and other local artists selling their craft. The winery has access to some trails around Elkin. We hiked to Carter Falls, which ended up being a 5 mile in and out hike through beautiful nature! We saw cows, Tobacco fields, Halloween decorated trees and an amazing waterfall. If you are looking for a day trip from Charlotte, this is the place to be!"
