For over a century, North Carolina has been the home of vineyards, particularly in the eastern portion of the state where Scuppernong and Muscadine wines were first cultivated.
Now, the northwestern portion of the state is the location of successful attempts to cultivate European and Californian types of grapevines, particularly in the Yadkin Valley.
Located between Winston-Salem and Boone on U.S. 421, the Yadkin Valley Wine Trail boasts 13 viable vineyards to wow travelers.
Closest to Boone, with five family-owned vineyards sprinkled at 5 mile intervals along a short highway loop, is the newly formed Vineyards of Swan Creek Wine Trail, a division of the Yadkin Valley Wine Trail.
The Trail offers self-guided tours along beautiful backcountry roads, by bike or car, for visitors eager to taste French and Italian wines and unique blends.
Wine "portage" is provided for bicyclers on the Trail, which is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11:00 to 5:00 p.m., and Sunday from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Visit the official Web site of the Vineyards of Swan Creek Wine Trail and get a taste of what these five families are working so diligently on.
