Just Like Home with Extras
Make the most of your Memorial Day adventure and avoid the stress of planning or finding things to do each day. Our concierge service is here to help you book activities for a vacation to remember for a lifetime. We’ll also help you score reservations at restaurants, book tours, excursions, and events, and more. We also take care of providing the heavy or bulky items you need, like pack n plays, strollers, and other items you don’t want to drag through an airport or stuff into a rental car trunk. Enjoy other “little things” that make a big difference, like a supply of firewood or propane, daily or mid-stay cleanings, special occasion arrangements such as for a birthday or anniversary – including booking local venues or entertainment, and even services like butlers or private chefs.
Vineyards
The family-owned and operated vineyard creates and serves wines reflective of the terroir of the winery’s location: the Yadkin Valley. They grow their own grapes, ranging from Cabernets and Chardonnays to Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc in their 200-acre vineyard. Then they transport those grapes to their on-site 33,0000-square-foot winery building where they process them into the delicious wines you’ll taste. Not only will you find great wine, but great food to pair it with as well! The vineyard’s Harvest Grill offers a wide variety of seasonal food to pair with your new favorite wine. Make sure to also visit Stony Knoll Vineyards, Herrera Vineyards, and Hutton Vineyards and Winery are just a few of the other vineyards that call the Yadkin Valley home. Take a bottle of your new favorite from each to pair with Memorial Day meals.
Yadkin Valley Wine Festival
Come celebrate a little early and head over to nearby Elkin. The Yadkin Valley Wine Festival is a great way to start your Memorial Day celebrating. The 20th annual event features wines from over 16 Yadkin Valley wineries and vineyards, delicious food, live music, and more. New this year, the “Food & Wine Experience” is a ticketed event (sold separately) where you’ll learn the basics of food and wine pairing and a chance to taste reserve wines not available in other parts of the festival.
