Wineries near Ronda

“Wow, wow and more wow! I came to visit Piccione in 2020 when they were in their earlier years, and this time, I was blown away by their new tasting room! It was so lovely with the amazing views! The wines were phenomenal as well (and this is the thing that brought me back a second time!). I was with a group from a South Carolina Winery, and the owners/vineyard managers (Dustin and Eric) actually came up and spoke with us on several topics for a while. It was so enlightening and so nice of them to take time out of their days to spend educating us! They even showed up some of their new facilities, such as event rooms, library, kitchen, etc. I will definitely be back to this outstanding winery!“

“A group of us had the pleasure of reserving a private tasting at Raffaldini. Our guide, Sam, was super knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the wine business, and we thoroughly enjoyed the wines! The Rose and Montepulciano were our faves!“

“Great experience! I enjoyed speaking with the owner Rick. I was going there to get one bottle of something I wanted to try. I ended up tasting all of the wines and went home with several bottles not just one. Since I don't live near there I'm just going to have them delivered. The wines taste is exactly the new taste I was looking for, thank you :).Update: Still and enjoyable place to visit. No one has been disappointed in the wine I’ve given to them from this winery.“

“We stopped in while doing the passport wineries tour. So glad we stopped in. We had a wonderful time. After the wine tasting we did one of the short trails to the dam. Anytime we can have some wine and then do a hike/walk is a great combo for us.“

“We’ve been going here for years. The wine has always been good, and I think it keeps getting better and better. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. With a huge selection of both dry and sweet wines, there is something for everyone. Definitely one of our favorites in the area!“

“We had purchased the wine passport to tour many of the area’s wineries & Adagio was the first winery we visited. Staff was friendly and informative. They even paired some of the wines with a smidgen of cheese from Red Clay Gourmet. It was a lovely visit and introduction to the area wineries.“

“We have been to A LOT of wineries and this was one of the best customer experiences we have had. Tom was great and our entire group had a great time. They have a lot of sweet wines which are great for people who are not big wine drinkers. Highly recommend!“

“I went here on a random winter Friday in January. Bryan was super friendly and it was literally just me in the tasting room but it was very relaxing. The vibe was so nice even though it was windy out. I got to just chill by the window and do my flight and sip on a glass of their tasty cab franc. Highly recommend, any time of the year. They are open Fridays during Jan/Feb which is one of the few vineyards open this time of the year.“

“I love Laurel Gray!! My hubs and I come here every year and this past time we were there they remembered us! It was awesome!! Their wines are good and the patios are an excellent way to enjoy your wine! The views at the vineyards are so calming. See you guys next year!!!“

“Such a great place that doesn't have a big flashy website, just a beautiful cozy small tasting room and vineyard. I was by myself and was able to enjoy the room and wine in a nice cozy chair. I went on a random Friday in January. They are open during the week in the winter unlike many of the vineyards in the area. Highly recommend“

“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.“
