Core offering

Grassy Creek Vineyard & Winery is a family-owned craft winery in State Road, North Carolina that grows grapes on its estate vineyard and the Holloway vineyard, produces a portfolio of red, white, rosé, fruit, and dessert wines, and sells them through an on-site tasting room, a wine club, and a private-event pavilion. The business also markets the property as a tourism destination with hiking trails and a partnership with adjacent Klondike Cabins.

Product overview

Grassy Creek Vineyard & Winery is a family-owned winery in the Yadkin Valley AVA producing award-winning wines from its 15-acre estate vineyard. The portfolio consists of two wine lines: the dry, rich Grassy Creek Estate Wines (Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah, Sangiovese, Grenache, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Viognier) processed in the historic 10,000 sq.ft. dairy barn, and the sweeter Klondike Farm Table Wines (Guernsey Red, Golden Guernsey, Sunset Blush). Beyond wine, the company offers a Wine Club subscription, the Red Barn Tasting Room experience, outdoor Pavilion venue, hiking trails including NC's first Forest Bathing Trail, and operates sister property Klondike Cabins for overnight stays.
