Wine tours are the absolute best way to get familiar with our locally produced wines. The science behind wine tours is finding the right mix of wineries in an area that's easy to navigate in a few hours. This tour takes you to four wineries in Surry County, part of the Yadkin Valley AVA. We include not only a printable map, but GPS coordinates you can plug into your navigator.
This tour is the same as that defined by VisitNCWine.com, as the Surry County tour. The driving distance is just under 30 miles, and drive time is about one hour. Of course, that doesn't include the time you'll spend at each location.
