The first commercial winery established
in North Carolina,Medoc Vineyard, led
the country's wine production in 1835.
After more than a century, North Carolina
is rebuilding its grape industry and creating
promising futures for its farmers and citizens.
Today, North Carolina is home to 5D wineries
AND 3 VINEYARD-LOCATED TASTING ROOMS.
Diversity. Uniqueness. Beauty.
Growers in the Mountains and Piedmont have
planted traditional European grape varieties,
called Vitis vinifera, and French-American
Hybrids. Commonly planted varieties include
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot,
Pinot Noir, Syrah, Chambourcin, Chardonnay,
Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Seyval
Blanc and Vidal Blanc.
Plantings of native Muscadine grapes,
often called Scuppernongs, are also on the
rise due to demand for fresh grapes and
Muscadine wines. These grapes are relatively
pest resistant and thrive in the hot sandy
conditions of the Coastal Plain. Muscadines
contain high levels of Resveratrol and other
health-enhancing antioxidants.
When you visit a local winery, you
will share in the enthusiasm that
our wineries and vineyards continue to
generate. Please request North Carolina
wines at your favorite shops and
restaurants, and discover what
you've been missing!
