Tasting Room & Tours

All wines at Laurel Gray are produced from our estate grown vineyard in our onsite state-of-art winery. We have chosen to concentrate our efforts on producing the very best wines on the east coast for the past 23 years, only advertising by word of mouth and selling only through our tasting room. We would love to have you visit us and taste the fruits of our labor and enjoy our family farm that dates back to the 1700’s.

We’re easy to find! Laurel Gray Vineyards tasting room is located only 1.5 miles west of the intersection of 1-77 & Hwy 421 in Yadkin County, NC. Directly off Hwy 421, exit 267.

Wine country in the Swan Creek and Yadkin Valley AVA is a wonderful experience with wineries in close proximity to one another. Because of the concentration of vineyards in a small geographic area you will have the opportunity to enjoy many different wines, beers or spirits during your trip.
