Brewery/ Winery tours

I don't recall what we paid but we also spent the day on the estate so that made it a much better deal for us with the tour of the house, walking the grounds and gardens, driving the property and then the winery tour. It might have been $50 per head (the wife and I) for the day and unlimited samples I'm pretty sure they provided the tasting samples in real wine glasses also. It was a very nice time. Well worth the price. I'd pay it again in a heart beat to spend a beautiful day in the mountains with my wife. All the other stuff is just gravy

I know you said in North Carolina but just to throw it out there, If you happen to go south on I-85 into GA...(only about 4 hours)

Chateau Elan has some very nice wines (their muscadine is awesome!)

I believe it's up to $65 a person but it's well worth the price if you make a day of it, which is not hard to do at all. Grreat wine with unlimited tasting and the history of the place is fantastic. Absolutly a wonderful place.
