Windsor Run has become a regular winery for us to visit after hiking as it is one of our favorite wineries in North Carolina.We tried another new muscadine wine this weekend that was released in between our last visit - Plum Crazy - which is a red muscadine wine with plum and edible glitter! It was our favorite wine of the day in our wine flight.Wines We Love:Plum Crazy - Plum muscadine wine.White Sangria - Good fruity sweet wine, perfect for the summer!Crystal Dreams - Strawberry muscadine wine.Cherry Smash - I definitely get tart cherry, not as sweet as the other sweet wines they have, but still enjoyable.Summer Breeze - A nice light sweet white wine.Windsorberry - A nice light sweet blueberry wine.Apple Mead - Apples and cinnamon. Enjoyable, but I have to be in the mood for this one as it is not an everyday wine for me.Snow Cream - Vanilla muscadine wine. You can definitely taste the vanilla, but I really enjoyed sipping on this on a warm day. Another one I have to be in the mood for as it is not an everyday wine for me.Fortified Wines We Love:Midnight Run/Midnight Run Grand Reserve - You can definitely taste the difference in these and we prefer the Grand Reserve, but both are very good.Hillbilly HolidayHoney Moon (This has not been in rotation in awhile, so I'm not sure if it will be made again).They also offer great slushies which can be part of the wine flight.My husband did the distillery tour this time and he really enjoyed the background information plus the samples that he got to try. They give you tips for pairing as well.Service is always great when we come - they are dog friendly! Highly recommend this winery if you are in the area.

Most unbelievable experience. Best NC wine experience by far. We had a wonderful Sunday Funday celebrating National Wine day with Lisa and the Crew at the winery. Then we went to there distillery next door and had another great experience with Jeff. We loved the customer service, atmosphere and friendly from beginning to end. Believe us when we say we left feeling like family. Looking forward to bringing our family and friends back next time.

Family members came into NC from Maryland and we were so excited to share Windsor Run with them. There were 5 of us with the wine tasting. My husband wanted to go down to the distillery and that's when the confusion started.. After paying for the wine tasting we were told we had to pay 15.00 per person to go to the distillery . Everything would be charged at the distillery. We continue after hearing the whole NC state charges for tasting. We purchase over 250.00 of liquors to go back up to the winery and get charged for going to the distillery 15.00 x 5 plus wine tasting. Our bill was over 420.00 unbelievable. We got 2 complimentary glasses. never again

Windsor Run Cellars is staffed with the friendliest people! They make us feel welcome every time we visit. It's a winery and a distillery. We really enjoy their red wines and the brandy is pretty great also. I recommend a visit!

This is our 4th trip to Windsor Run. We went out of our way to make it back there. All of the wines are very good, but especially love their fortified wines. The Midnight Run and the 2012 Midnight Run reserve are exceptional. But what brings us back more than just the wines is their manager, Lisa. You can get good wines at a number of wineries in the Yadkin Valley, but the experience at Windsor Run is exceptional due to Lisa. She is very knowledgeable about wines and makes the experience a lot of fun. Great wine and great staff an unbeatable experience.
Amazing! All of the staff, the wines and the distillery was amazing! Could not have asked for a better experience. I took my dad here I was intrigued since this was a distillery and a winery and my dad and I love to go wine tasting and we have been to a few distilleries as well in the past but this is the best of both worlds. Wonderful atmosphere and did I mention staff? We will definitely be back along with other including my husband and my mother in law etc. I know many other will enjoy this experience as well.

The wines weren't really up our alley, but I did purchase a sangria that will be nice with some fresh fruit this summer. There was no option to have a tasting without a souvenir wine glass, which we don't need another one. I would suggest that they have water available especially when drinking wine in the hot summer heat.

Pretty good flights for wine. The best for me was Midnight Run GRAND RESERVE.
