I had the pleasure of taking Jennifer and her family on an NC Wine Tour this Friday! I picked them up at 10am and started on our trip!
Beautiful day for a wine tour! The air is crisp but the sun is shining bright!

From their pick up location in north Charlotte, it took us approx. 1 hour to drive up. Perfect amount of time for laughing and sharing stories! Our first stop was at Laurel Gray Vineyards. Tastings here are $8 per person plus tax.

Pre-purchase tickets are available at each vineyard for the exceptional value of only $35.00 per per person.
Dobbins Creek
Dobbins Creek was our third and final Vineyard. Charles King never disappoints as a gracious host! He took the time to answer many questions on the finer points of wine-making and farming.
Our group had the exclusive chance to try the newly-released Ram Cat Red- absolutely wonderful red wine and sure to sell out quickly!!

The view from the patio- absolutely splendid!
Jennifer’s wine tour consisted of 5 people total and we were easily able to have a laid-back day in the 6 hour time-frame that we planned. Her pick up location was just north of Charlotte.
Thank you to Jennifer and her family for such a nice and relaxing day!
