Beautiful tasting room and scenery. I liked some of the wines but some were too dry for my taste. They plan to have music on weekends in the future. The snacks available were limited but maybe were just low on supplies. They don't allow outside food or drink on premises.
This is a great place to stop after going to nearby Stone mountain park. Easy access off highway 21.
There was nice seating on concrete patio outside.
Waste of time would never go back. To many other wineries to patronize. They have no restaurant but can't bring food. No smoking area and although beautiful scenery if you can look past all the plastic orange netting. There was definitely a reason we were the only ones there. Didn't even stay long enough to drink our wine. What a shame.
Meh. They're building the place up, trying to be a big commercial vineyard, but it was just lacking in character. The view could be had in any patients in the Yadkin Valley. There was nothing distinctive to make it memorable. They wouldn't allow us to taste the wine to determine if it was worth buying a glass or bottle (unfortunately, we bought bottles of both the Chardonnay and the Viogner, and neither was worth buying.). They also wouldn't allow you to bring your own snacks. The place just came off as pretentious without good wine. I can take a great location with bad wine, or a bad location with good wine, but failing at both? We won't be back.
Fantastic wine - if I'd have tasted blind I would not have guessed the wines weren't from California, or a more well-known wine region. Our favorites were the Cabernet Franc, the Petit Manseng and the Viognier. The winery itself is beautiful, and that's with construction on a new function hall ongoing. We'll be sure to come back when the construction fencing is down and the weather's a bit cooler!
I believe that Jones Von Drehle Vineyards just became my favorite in North Carolina! Their wines are really really nice! And so are the fabulous folks there. Due to Covid, we were not able to see indoors, other than the very clean and beautiful bathroom, but the patio and setting were beautiful. We re excited to see the new event venue they re building next to the tasting room. We were celebrating a birthday and were able to bring our own picnic, which was really nice because we all three had some unusual food requirements . Super hospitality, fabulous wine, beautiful setting - a great option for a fun day in NC!!
Wine is wonderful, but don't understand why they quit tastings or let you purchase a glass of wine at 30 minutes before closing. Have never been to a Winery that does not let you purchase 30 minutes before they close. Most wineries let you purchase and do a tasting up until they're closing and stay open until you finish.
This winery is AMAZING!! The wine, the staff, the scenery are FABULOUS!! Perfect place for a day trip
Top notch wines, lovely view, pleasant staff, friendly and sweet dog, nice tasting room. . Would give it five stars were it not for the admonishing signage which, among other things, forbid bringing your own food because they offer "plenty of choices" They don't really and what they do offer is store bought prepackaged. A nice cheese and bread plate and a forgiving attitude toward those who come with food and juice for children would really make it a pleasant place to visit.
Still, the wine is very, very good. We didn't have a one that I would not be happy to serve to a discerning guest.
Good tasting experience here. Lots of good dry wine here. The owner was very personable as she takes the time to come around to engage guests. This place is building an 8,000 seat amphitheater and a event center. Nice relaxing g views from the spacious seating areas.
