Treehouse Vineyards

What Treehouse Vineyards does

Treehouse Vineyards is a family-owned winery and agritourism destination located at 301 Bay St, Monroe, North Carolina, founded in 2004 and opened to the public on November 20, 2010 after first plantings in 2005. The company operates a working vineyard cultivating eight varieties of muscadine grapes (including Carlos and Noble varieties from North Carolina State University and one vine traced to 'The Mother Vine' in Manteo, NC, documented since 1584) alongside viniferous varieties (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay blend, Riesling), produced using organic fertilization methods grounded in 1936 Senate Document No. 264 research.

The business sells wine by the glass, bottle, and online (via OrderPort e-commerce) and offers guided tastings at $12 per person, weekly winemaker's tours, and an event programming calendar that includes weddings, private celebrations, and recurring public events such as Murder Mystery Nights (partnered with Charlotte Murder Mystery Company) and Latin Dance Nights. Three on-site treehouse accommodations are the primary differentiator: the 30-foot 'Date Night' treehouse for hourly daytime use, the 'Papa's Dream' couples overnight, and 'Horsefeathers Hideaway' group overnight. The THV Wine Club provides recurring revenue through quarterly shipments across two tiers ($40-$85 or $70-$130 per quarter), with a four-shipment minimum commitment. Founded by Phil and Dianne Nordan with involvement of their children, the company has remained private with no external capital or M&A activity disclosed.

Revenue is derived from multiple streams without any one dominating channel: direct wine sales (online and on-site), tasting fees, treehouse and fire pit rentals (with hourly and overnight pricing tiers), event hosting fees, wine club subscriptions, and ticketed public events. Marketing relies on organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), the recurring events calendar, and word-of-mouth from destination visitors. Customers are primarily individual wine enthusiasts, couples seeking romantic getaways, wedding and celebration parties, and local social event attendees, all served exclusively at the single Monroe, NC site.
