The Cascade Highlands 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 Cascade Highlands.
