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.
