In the shadows of the Great Smoky Mountains, there's an old stone building with bars on the windows that overlooks our small vineyard. Legend has it that the local lawman locked up the hooligans here to cool down until they went before the magistrate. Now we use the calaboose to incarcerate our wine before it makes its escape to you!

We are the smallest free-standing, complete winery in America located just up the river from the Smoky Mountain Expressway in far Western North Carolina.

If you're driving from Chattanooga or Cleveland, TN to white water rafting on the Nantahala River, the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad in Bryson City, or the Great Smoky Mountains National Park; then pull off the "four-lane" in Andrews and pay us a visit!




If you look in the top left drawer of the Wardin's big oak desk, you'll find a bottle of his favorite vice – this smooth, semi-sweet white wine. I heard he sips it while he's munchin' on a big bowl of pretzels, feet up on the desk, with the door shut tight but the windows wide open.
