The Blue Ridge
Heartland is home to a vibrant winemaking industry and a rapidly expanding
landscape of high quality vineyards. The Yadkin Valley was designated as an
American Viticultural Area (AVA), the first in North Carolina. A true river
valley, it covers over 14 million acres of rolling foothills in northwestern
North Carolina. The clay loam soils and temperate climate provide excellent
conditions for growing European varietals such as chardonnay, viognier,
riesling, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah and cabernet franc. Come
tour and enjoy the sparkling vineyards and wineries that beckon throughout
Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains and North Carolina's Yadkin Valley - your open
invitation to the Blue Ridge Heartland.
