Although the history of North Carolina and Virginia wines and wineries has origins in the earliest settlements, it is only recently that modern viticulture and vinification has transformed the landscape with numerous wineries and world class wines. For those fortunate enough to live in the Charlotte, Triad and Triangle of North Carolina, and Charlottesville and Roanoke areas in Virginia, there is now an incredible opportunity to enjoy a weekend excursion touring wineries, dining on world class cuisine and wines and resting overnight in some of the most friendly Bed and Breakfast establishments in the South. On top of this, the views and solitude along the Blue Ridge Parkway and the North Carolina Piedmont are the ever present pathway for your excursion. Come along and sample some of the best Chardonnay, Cabernet, Sangiovese, and Pinot Grigio wines, Dine at several of the finest gourmet establishments in the South-East and have a relaxing weekend in the process! If your interests lie in world class Pottery or taking Scenic Walks, you will be well satisfied. If you prefer old-time music and mountain culture, then visit Floyd, one of the last of the old-style towns and home of the Friday-night Jamboree and the Fourth Floyd World Folk Music Festival (July 2005)!
Be sure not to miss the 4th of July weekend celebration NC and VA Wine and Music Festival to be held at the FloydFest site, adjacent to Villa Appalaccia Winery.
