Weathervane Winery

We had an incredible time at Weathervane Winery. The wine is delicious and the staff are welcoming. It's a beautiful Winery.

Dry? Not even close. Their “dry red” could double as pancake syrup in a pinch. I kept checking the tasting menu like I was the problem: Surely this next one will be dry… But no, each glass was like a passive-aggressive dessert. I felt like I was being gaslit by grapes. And at over $10 for a half pour in a thimble size glass made me wonder who was mad at me.
Don’t get me wrong—if you love sweet wine, this may be your Shangri-La. But if you’re looking for structured tannins or crisp minerality, you’re more likely to find Bigfoot enjoying a charcuterie board in the corner.

We have had Weathervane at wine festivals, but we recently decided to stop by their winery after a hike.

We did a wine tasting of the sweet wines available:
*Placid Peach - this is the one that I remembered and liked. Not my favorite peach wine as I like a little stronger peach flavor, but still a good one.
*Rooster Red - an okay wine, did not get much of the intended cranberry flavor.
*Strawberry Breeze - thought this was a very good strawberry wine.
*Rooster Black - this was very good! Good blackberry flavor.
*Tropical Wave - their summer seasonal wine. It was okay.

After we did the tasting, we got a glass of their Placid Peach and Rooster Black and enjoyed them on the patio. I really ended up liking Rooster Black the best.

My only critiques are because of my own personal preferences. I have really come to like wineries that offer flights. Going to a winery really allows you to enjoy multiple wines rather than having a full glass or bottle of just one wine like you would at home. It's unfortunate that Weathervane does not offer flights. I would also love a wine slushy on a hot day, and it was not offered here.

Overall, we enjoyed their wines and would recommend stopping by if you are in the area. They are dog friendly, too, so our pup was allowed to be with us!

Nice place. Good wines

We went there on Saturday with a big group of people and they were so sweet and accommodating! It was a very hot day and they made sure we had water and had the outside fans on!

I was fortunate enough to sample some of Weathervane Winerys offerings at the Yadkin Valley Wine festival. Blue Norther is hands down the sweetest and smoothest blueberry flavored wine I have ever tasted. Thrilled I bought a bottle home with me. I wish I had bought a case!

Good wine. Better slushies.

Weathervane Winery: Where the wine flows, the dad jokes are dangerously unfiltered, and your tasting comes with a side of sass.

Run by Sid and Eric—a father-son combo with more personality than a reality TV reunion—this place isn’t your average snooty vineyard. Nope. It’s backyard hospitality meets bold reds and “don’t ask what’s in the blend, just drink it” energy.

Sid? Looks like he’s been crushing grapes and egos since the ‘70s.
Eric? Equal parts wine nerd and sarcasm technician.
Together, they’re like the Hall & Oates of fermentation—with fewer love songs and more alcohol.

The wine? Legit.

Sweet or dry? They've got both, and they'll roast you lovingly for your choice.

Wine slushies? Dangerous. Delicious. Probably illegal in three states.

Tastings? You’ll walk in curious, walk out with a case and a strong buzz.

The vibe?
Lawn chairs. Live music. Someone’s aunt two-stepping with a glass of red.
You might show up for a quiet sip—but you’ll stay because Sid told a wild story about the time he “accidentally” invented a new blend.

Bottom line:
Weathervane Winery isn’t just wine—it’s a whole experience.
Good drinks. Great people. And the only place in Lexington where your wine comes with a free comedy show.

Go see Sid and Eric. Bring a designated driver. And maybe cancel your plans for the next day.

Wonderful staff. Wines were light and easy drinking. All stainless steel aged. Four estate vines.

They have dry and sweet wine tastings.

We LOVE this winery. Great wines, atmosphere, and the owners are phenomenal. Have met great people who have now become friends. Could not be more pleased. This has become our go to winery.

Awesome, and we will be back!

Great atmosphere and outside seating. People are friendly and helpful and wine is delicious!! It’s my fav winery!! I decided to buy a membership that has great perks!! Will def keep going back!!

Literally the place to be when you’re in town! The best local selection/ customer service and let’s not forget the prices! Anytime I’m in town, I definitely make sure I stop in to see their wine selections!

Very friendly staff, great wine, and a beautiful setting. We spent Mother’s Day there with the family and enjoyed the outdoor setting and music they provided as we drank our wine and had a picnic. Great day!!!
