Wine Wednesday-Let's Visit a NC Winery-tunnel Creek Vineyards in Roxboro NC

-

 

It's Wine Wednesday.  Let's visit a local winery.  

Tunnel Creek Vineyards in Roxboro, NC.

Here is a quote from their website...

"Imagine a place where serenity meets exhilaration, modesty meets magnificence, and exclusivity meets affordability."

It is about an hour and twenty-minute drive from where I live in West Cary.  I like to drive, especially in the country, so the trip was a joy.
Let's head in for a tasting...

The tasting room is lovely.  I like the wood and the long bar.  It is a beautiful venue for a wine tasting.
The wine tasting cost $20.00.  The range in wine prices that I found online was $24.99-$48.99.
Another quote from the site...
"This gorgeous facility boasts an all-wood interior that looks and smells amazing. 
One cannot help but feel this is the perfect setting to taste new wines." 

Here is a list of their wines. 




Quote from the site...

"Want to stay inside as close to the wine as possible?  Our live music and indoor seating are perfect for you.  Want to get a little fresh air and enjoy the outdoors?  Our picnic tables, balcony, and terrace areas are sure to please as you cozy up next to our oversized fire pit."

They provide both indoor and outdoor seating.  Outside is a fire pit that would be a nice place to sip your wine.  If you decide to sit outside the view of the countryside is lovely.






I asked about the vineyard's name.  They said Tunnel Creek comes from an actual tunnel on the property.  Many days you can walk to the tunnel, but the day we were there, it had just rained, and they said it was very muddy and did not recommend we visit the tunnel.  I would love to go back on a drier day and check it out.   I found an article in Hyco Lake Magazine that gives insight into the winery and the tunnel.



I enjoyed my visit to Tunnel Creek Vineyards.  I would like to return for one of their events.  
Check out their website for more information.

Interesting NC Tidbits...The Town of Buffalo NC is at the Bottom of Lake Lure.

A few weeks ago I took a trip to beautiful Lake Lure located in my state of NC.  Little did I know that there was a town called Buffalo under the Lake Lure waters.   I met a lady at a local restaurant that told me the town remains as it was, completely preserved under the water, an underwater ghost town.  On the Lake Lure pontoon boat adventure I took, I was told that Buffalo was burned to the ground just prior to the flooding. I went online to see what facts I could find about the town of Buffalo. Buffalo was a farming and mining community.  The population was approximately 150 people.  There was a church called Whiteside Valley Church of 1918 that had about 98 members.   The dam was built to generate electricity in the early 1900's, and just after the completion of the dam the town was flooded.    From what I could find online much of the town was torn down and relocated as were parts of the church.  The graves in the small graveyard were relocated as well.  You can r

One thing I love about travel is trying new restaurants.  Cindy and I found ourselves on an adventure in the Mooresville NC area near Lake Norman.  There is nothing like enjoying a meal by the water and when we read that Eddie's was on the water we decided to give it a try.  Off we went... Eddie's on Lake Norman Here is a quote from their website. "Eddie Lubic and Ann-Margaret Wagner bring their hospitality and restaurant expertise  from New York to the shores of Lake Norman."  View from our outdoor seating... Sadly it did not get the best reviews on Z omato , but for the view and casual dinning I would go back. The staff was friendly and service was good. Plenty of room outdoors and in.  Indoor seating  A bit of wine:-)   "Eddie and Ann-Margaret's mission is always to provide the freshest seafood, prime meats, produce, pasta, and bread every meal."  Eddie's We enjoyed our veggie and cheese platter along with

While exploring Lake Lure and the surrounding area I discovered a unique and inviting gift shop.  The name of the shop is  The Hickory Nut .   I drove past this shop several times while exploring the area.  On my final day, I decided I would regret if I did not stop in for a visit. I was glad I did! As you can see from the photos there is something for everyone. From my overview of the shop I found seasonal decorations, plants, home decor, antiques,  crafts, and endless gift items.  The address of the shop is 215 Main St, Chimney Rock, NC 28720.  It is located on the main road between The town of Lake Lure and Chimney Rock Village.  The phone number I found for them if you want to check hours is 828-625-2211. So, if you find yourself in the Lake Lure area I suggest you check out The Hickory Nut Gift shop.  You may find an unexpected treasure. Happy Travels and Adventures Everyone! KathieyV:-)
