Great news, North Carolina! There’s a road trip destination in the Tar Heel State that’s perfect for 2020 – and beyond! In a world where social distancing and a global pandemic are the steering factors for where we spend our down time, finding places to fit our safety and comfort zones is of the utmost importance. Devine Llama Vineyards in East Bend is located right in the heart of the Yadkin Valley wine country where the scenery is just as delightful as the fruitful pleasures pulled and then fermented into some of the best wines on the east coast.
The winery and tasting room is located on a 91-acre farm with 20 acres of pasture for the farm's large llama herd.
The tasting room has a large outdoor seating area where you can cozy into a comfy seat and enjoy a bottle, or a glass while you breathe in the fresh air, absorb the vibrant atmosphere, and soak up the serenity of this gorgeous farm.
The farm is home to a wide variety of llamas that range in age, fiber, color, and show quality. Many, of course, are just pets.
Interestingly, a common misconception is that llamas originated in South America. However, the ancestors of today's llamas are said to have originated in the Central Plains of North America and then they migrated to South America during a tectonic event known as the Great American Interchange that occurred about three million years ago.
With this theory in mind, it would seem it's a misnomer that llamas originated in South America ‐ when, in fact, the llamas have actually gone full circle — and so will you...
Once you pay your first visit to Divine Llama Vineyards, you'll be planning a return trip (full circle) before you even leave the farm.
Divine Llama Vineyards is open year-round. The current hours are Thursday through Saturday from 12:00 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Give them a follow on Facebook to stay up to date with current happenings!
