10 Best Wineries near Dobson

“My wife and I started out a Saturday day trip to go to The Rockford general store near Dobson because we had read about it in Our State magazine. We figured we drive there have some lunch and see a few other things around the area but when we got there unfortunately your kitchen was closed but the owner sent us up to the winery because they had a food truck. Very acquaint little winery with amazing owners. The owner used to fly f-14s in the Navy and he and his wife are very personable and actually have some very good wines. We got a bottle of the Chardonnay and shared it while listening to music and eating food from the food truck. There's a lot of old history to see in this area so making a trip up to the winery and then heading into Rockford would certainly be a good day for anybody. There's also an old church there in Rockford which has a fresco which was painted by the brother-in-law of Ben Long who did the famous fresco's in Glendale springs and West Jefferson. If you are a vet or currently serving in the military they give discounts and they also encourage you to hang up your own picture of 5x7 or less on their wall of honor they are obviously super supportive of our military.“

“The. Best. Wines. Around!Viognier is Ah-maaa-zing. Double gold winner in NC! I'm not a huge steel chardonnay fan, but theirs is fantastic! All their wines are wonderful. Sweet wine drinkers can even enjoy perfect Niagara grape wines. Amazing family run place. You will definitely feel like you're at home!“

“First time visiting Shelton Vineyards! We had a wonderful experience in the Grande Tasting with Tamara! She was so knowledgeable. The vineyard has a lovely story. We enjoyed several wines in the tasting menu and Tamara learned our palates quickly and offered a couple other wines to taste. Jennie, the Director of Estate Hospitality, also made us feel so welcome and happy to be there! We will definitely go back to enjoy their one of the concert series events this year!“

“We visited Shelton Vineyards on Friday Nov 17. We ate at the restaurant. Amanda was our server. It was an exceptional experience! The ambience was warm and inviting. The food and wine were delicious. The service was superb. Amanda was courteous, pleasant and extremely attentive to our needs. Amanda made sure that we were very satisfied. She went above and beyond to take care of us during our time at the restaurant. We'll definitely be back and would love to have Amanda as our server again.“

“We stopped in while doing the passport wineries tour. So glad we stopped in. We had a wonderful time. After the wine tasting we did one of the short trails to the dam. Anytime we can have some wine and then do a hike/walk is a great combo for us.“

“This was our first visit and we learned a lot about their wines and the best ways to taste and enjoy them. Our hostess was knowledgeable and had a great personality- you could tell she loved what she does! She walked us through each wine and we enjoyed them. Nice open area inside with lovely wines !“

“We happened to stumble on this wonderful establishment on a cool Friday afternoon in March. Wendy was an amazing host who shared her knowledge and love of wine (and beer) with the 6 of us. The guys enjoyed the selection of beers while the ladies indulged in the delicious array of wines.We enjoyed learning about their unique bottles and paper labels. We could not have had a better time! Thank you Carolina Heritage Winery for a 5 star experience!“

“We have been to A LOT of wineries and this was one of the best customer experiences we have had. Tom was great and our entire group had a great time. They have a lot of sweet wines which are great for people who are not big wine drinkers. Highly recommend!“

“Round Peak Winery is truly a hidden gem that my family and friends have been visiting for years. From the moment you step foot on the property, you're greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.The picturesque vineyards and breathtaking views create a serene backdrop for a truly memorable experience.“

“We were in town for our 26th anniversary and wanted to have a special meal. So glad that we chose ONS! Went for lunch since we were there on a Tuesday. My husband had the tomato bisque, grilled cheese, and salad which he loved. I had the blacked mahi mahi with fries. Fantastic! I enjoyed a wine flight with the meal. Our waitress was excellent! I would recommend ONS highly!“
