Harvest Grill at Shelton Vineyard
Plus, Shelton Vineyards North Carolina offers the Harvest Grill for local and fresh produce, food, and dishes that pair perfectly with a glass of white or red wine. The Harvest Grill features a menu that depends on seasonal produce, so you are always getting something fresh and ready to eat. Head here and sit outside on a warm summer night on the patio, or head inside to the cozy and intimate dining room for a date night.
We recommend getting the Artisan cheese and charcuterie board for lunch, featuring three artisan cheeses, fresh fruit, chili roasted peanuts, salmon, bread, and an olive trio. Or you can split the Smoked Chicken Tlayuda with homemade corn tortilla and chipotle sauce.
For dinner, you can’t go wrong with the Maryland-style cornbread crab cakes, crispy pork belly dumplings, grilled pork chop with mushroom gratin, New York Strip steak, or grilled lamb rack. Pairing succulent lamb with a glass of fresh red wine is the ideal way to start your evening!
