Pair a winery and vineyard with a picturesque little river roaring only steps away and it creates a scene you may be reluctant to leave. Let’s check out a waterfront vineyard in North Carolina that has everything you need for an afternoon or evening of fun – and even longer if you take advantage of the winery’s lodging options, too!
Welcome to Roaring River Vineyards, featuring property that borders nearly a mile of the scenic East Prong Roaring River in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Roaring River Vineyards officially opened for business in 2016 and offers wines from grapes grown on-site, a restaurant with delectable meals, numerous lodging options, and of course, gorgeous views of the river.
Step right in and make yourself at home. The state-of-the-art tasting room offers wines by the bottle, by the glass, and by the flight as well as craft artisanal beer from local breweries. There's something for everyone, in other words.
Enjoy your beverages inside, or pop out onto the veranda overlooking the river. The views and the cool air coming from the cool waters flowing by make this a perfect spot to enjoy a warm summer day!
Skip the worry of having to drive home after sampling the delicious wines all afternoon and evening. Instead, book a room in the lodge - or take advantage of the vineyard's other lodging options.
The vineyard's lodge has three floors of luxurious yet rustic accommodations that include everything from a one-bedroom suite to a four-bedroom suite. There's also a private cabin on the property and an RV park. With this many options, there's really no reason NOT to spend the night!
You can even grab dinner in the winery's restaurant! And just across the river from the tasting room sits the ruins of the sawmill that served the 1870s grist mill that once graced this property. Guests love gazing out over the water to spy the reminders of the past on the other side.
Roaring River Vineyards is open year-round but the days of the week and hours vary by season. Find out the current hours by visiting the winery's website here.
