Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Raffaldini Vineyards & Winery, 450 Groce Rd, Ronda, NC 28670-9134

This is perhaps one of the Carolina's prettiest vineyards, Raffaldini. Raffaldini makes excellent Italian wines and have been doing so for a couple decades. We will enjoy their Bella Misto (red) that goes divinely with an Italian specialty in a red wine sauce (plus bread to sop up the goodness).

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Piccione Vineyards, 2364 Cedar Forest Rd, Ronda, NC 28670-9107

Known for their Italian style wines, this cute on a hill vineyard has one bottle that particularity stands out for us, their amazing dry rosé made from Montepulciano grapes. We are pairing this with some fantastic cheese & crackers.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Hanover Park Vineyard, 1927 Courtney Huntsville Rd, Yadkinville, NC 27055-6144

Housed in a 19th century farmhouse, this unpretentious vineyard is making a slate of fantastic wines. We are taking their 2017 Chambourcin (red) and matching it with Carolina pulled pork.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: RayLen Vineyards, 3577 US Highway 158, Mocksville, NC 27028-7842

This delightful and large Carolina vineyard makes too many good wines to count. We want you to try them all. We are doing a full tasting with a bite of homemade chocolate.
