The Vineyard at High Holly 37 High Holly Road, Scaly Mountain, NC 28775

"This is a new open to the public vineyard. They don’t have their wines ready yet, but have an amazing wine list. So friendly and a beautiful setting."

"I can't say enough wonderful things about Lesley and Eric and the entire wedding experience at The Vineyard at High Holly! When I tell you they will go to any length to make your day exactly what you want it to be, I mean ANY LENGTH. Lesley made sure every detail was perfect and we felt so secure knowing that she wasn't going to let any of the details fall through the cracks. They really had our backs. On top of the wonderful people, the vineyard itself is just the most picture perfect place for a wedding. Having our friends and family be able to stay on the property with us was both a major convenience and just plain fun. Even though the weather was cold and rainy on our wedding day, it was blissfully romantic. All the lodging is beautifully stylish and cozy at the same time, and I love that unlike so many other venues, we'll be able to go back over and over to stay at the vineyard in the future. If you want an unforgettable wedding experience, this is the place for you!!"

"We cannot say enough good things about High Holly and Lesley and Eric. We had our wedding here on May 20, 2023 and it was absolutely beautiful. We were the first wedding at High Holly after Lesley and Eric bought the property. We were nervous about the changeover but honestly we wish it had happened sooner! Lesley was absolutely on top of it from day one. She was attentive, empathetic, and so much fun to work with! If she had been there from the start I know our wedding would have been even more exceptional. On the day, Lesley was so incredible. She balanced the timeline with what she knew we wanted. She was always a beacon of calm and never added stress, even if what was happening was stressful. It rained on our day, which wasn’t ideal, but she went out of her way to make sure we were updated and calm. She made so many arrangements to ensure we could make the call as close to the ceremony as possible. We ended up having our ceremony in the pavilion while it poured outside. It was beautiful and magical and amazing. The turnover from ceremony to reception was so smooth, even though it all happened in the same pavilion space. To be honest, the accommodations really started from day 0. We had initially booked out the house that Lesley, Eric, and their family moved into upon buying the property for our rehearsal dinner. From our first communication, they made it clear that nothing would change and went out of their way to accommodate us. I cannot stress enough how amazing this was. This is the home their family lives in and she let 80 of us into their space and was extremely gracious. She even offered a bedroom to a couple in our wedding party that would not have fit otherwise. This was just one example of how they went out of their way to make sure our wedding was exactly what we had in mind! They were so kind and did not have to help us as much as they did! Our family and friends had an amazing time all weekend and it was such a beautiful wedding. Those who stayed at the property couldn’t say enough good things about the accommodations. The honeymoon suite was particularly nice! It was truly like staying in a five star hotel. Our wedding itself was beautiful, the property was absolutely gorgeous. We really do not have enough good things to say about high holly and about Lesley and Eric! We are so glad we had the privilege of being married somewhere so lovely."

"I attended the vineyard with a group of women from all over the states to have fun and play cards. My stay was in what they referred to as the chicken coop. It was a wonderful room with my own bathroom and a little rustic but a lot of charm. The hosts provided lovely meals for us as a large group and a wonderful chef. The wine I enjoyed and it was a very relaxing atmosphere. We were able to venture out shopping and fine dining. I highly recommend a stop here."
