The viticulture industry in North Carolina has blossomed over the last decade! Luckily, the Resort is surrounded by many great wineries and vineyards. There are four distinct wineries surrounding us that you can explore. Take a day trip and experience an informative and educational journey while indulging your palate on some of their finest offerings.  

Russian Chapel Hills Winery
No product has a closer relationship to its raw material than wine does to its vineyard, and at Russian Chapel Hills Winery, they are developing a heritage of fine viticulture. Formerly known as Green Creek Vineyards, the name change came following the addition of a beautiful Russian Chapel which sits among the vineyard. This gorgeous winery, led by Valery Artamonov and Dmitry Unkin, produces a variety of wines ranging from Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Rose and Merlot.
