Their ice wine is fantastic and one of the few vineyards, actually holding to that tradition. That varietal is very hard to find.Well made in the united states, regardless of where you're traveling.
The atmosphere is relaxing and the sweetness in the air. We'll allow you time to breathe.Decompress and readjust your thought process with whatever you are thinking or going through in life.
I highly recommend this tranquil vineyard!

Such a great place to stop in and have yummy wine and listen to some music. The place was warm and inviting, decorated for the holidays. Enjoyed a wonderful afternoon there with my husband. Can’t wait to go back.

One of my favorites! ⭐ Banner Elk Winery — Banner Elk, North Carolina
A perfect family gathering spot for the holidays. A perfect place to have a family gathering.
Banner Elk Winery is truly one of the most beautiful and inviting places to gather with family during the holiday season in North Carolina. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm, attentive service that set the tone for an exceptional visit. The team here really knows how to make guests feel welcome — whether you're a large family group, a couple exploring the High Country, or travelers like us soaking in the mountain charm.
The wine selection is absolutely exquisite. Every pour was smooth, flavorful, and carefully described by the staff, who clearly love what they do. It’s rare to find a winery where every member of a group loves something different and everyone finds a new favorite. Banner Elk Winery delivers that effortlessly.
The grounds are breathtaking — perfectly manicured, peaceful, and designed for lingering. We enjoyed sitting outside with a glass in hand, surrounded by rolling hills, crisp mountain air, and gorgeous views that feel straight out of a holiday postcard. It’s also a beautiful place for a stroll, with plenty of space to relax, unwind, and take in the scenery.
For anyone visiting the area — especially during the holidays — Banner Elk Winery is the ideal destination for family gatherings, celebrations, or simply enjoying the magic of the mountains. Exceptional wine, impeccable service, and unforgettable ambiance. A true gem of North Carolina.

Banner Elk Winery is absolutely beautiful! The atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming, surrounded by stunning mountain views that make you want to stay all afternoon. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the wine selection is amazing, every pour has its own unique flavor and charm. I especially enjoyed relaxing by the window, sipping wine, and taking in the scenery. Whether you’re a wine lover or just looking for a relaxing getaway, this place is a must-visit in the High Country!

If you’re in the Banner Elk area and it’s a nice day, you need to visit Banner Elk Winery. A bottle of wine, a baguette, a beautiful view, and friendly service … perfect way to spend an afternoon (and it’s dog friendly)! We’ve tried a few and we’re partial to the Banner Elk White, but you be the judge.

Beautiful views & wine/sangria/food is A++++. Don't miss this place
Allison Gottwalt
The ambiance of the winery is great and it’s a beautiful setting, but honestly, the wines are atrocious. I had a flight, and each one was worse than the last. The white wines were less offensive, so stick with those. I really wanted to like it more, but these are just not good wines.

Friendly Service and a beautiful facility. We didn't care for any of the wines, and my sangria was down right bland. It was still nice to sit out.
Taylor Engel, FL Keys Realtor (South Florida Realtor)
Such a wonderful Vineyard - you can even stay in one of the glamping tents on property! Quiet and beautiful with live music on the weekends. They have charcuterie, breads, and snacks or bring your own and enjoy a sangria / glass of wine. Great place to visit and relax!
Great spot with great wine selection. Customer service is always great!

The atmosphere was great, the wine was wonderful and the staff was fantastic. The staff here was great about allowing us to taste different wines in order to decide which ones we wanted to buy. They were friendly and knowledgeable. There was live music and plenty of shade for those who wanted it. This place is truly lovely. Don’t miss it if you’re near Banner Elk and enjoy wine. We didn’t stay at the inn so I have no knowledge of that, but I will definitely return to this winery if I’m in the area again.
