Insider Tips
The amphitheatre lawn is perfect for a picnic-style approach — bring a blanket, grab your tastings, and settle in for the live music lineup.
Pair the festival with a winery tour along the Yadkin Valley Wine Trail — most tasting rooms are within 30 minutes and stay open late during festival weekend.
Lost Colony Wine & Culinary Festival
Combine with a performance of 'The Lost Colony' outdoor drama the same weekend — the amphitheatre setting at sunset is spectacular.
This is one of the only festivals in the US dedicated entirely to Muscadine — try a side-by-side comparison of Bronze and Black/Purple varieties. The sweetness range is wider than most expect.
