Went for Winter Fest to celebrate New Year's Eve with family. Enjoyed the festive mood, decorations, hot cocoa, and variety of warm beverages. Riding the attractions that were open was fun!

What a wonderful Saturday afternoon at Brandon Hills Vineyard. The 40-acre vineyard is nestled in the Yadkin Valley appellation. Celebrated a birthday. Staff invited us to use the gazebo. Great suggestion 👌🏼 A couple members of our party had been before and gave excellent wine recommendations. The tasting room staff were attentive and gave us answers to questions about each wine variety (grown from European stock or from local fruits infused in the blueberry wine). So very fortunate to meet the owner, Larry. He explained the Barcelona origins of the Ssngria wine we sampled. He came out to the gazebo to greet and interact with us. We learned about the various vineyard varietal grapes, family harvests, off-site processing, and on-site cellar storage. We learned about their wines earning a Gold Medal from the NC Fine Wines competition. Cannot wait for the Facebook announcement for the debut of the limited-release, burbouon barrel-aged Red Rebel.

The atmosphere is low-key and relaxed. Restaurant wasn't very crowded, so couldn't understand why the service was so slow. Food was not prepared as described on the menu. Beverages were good. Don't believe I'll be in a hurry to return.
