Shadow Springs Vineyard

It all started when…

Chuck missed one too many of his sons’ baseball games. He decided to “retire” from his corporate job and move the family back home to North Carolina to start a vineyard.

Shadow Springs was established in the spring of 2005 when four acres of Merlot and Cabernet Franc were planted on a plot of old tobacco land. Today, the vineyard spans nearly eleven acres of various red and white grapes with plenty of room for further expansion.

We opened our tasting room with the first vintage of Shadow Springs wine in the Summer of 2008. Please enjoy this ancient footage we found on Youtube of those early days:

In 2011 we purchased the old Buck Shoals Vineyard & Winery from the Crater family. This property, situated just half a mile down the road from Shadow Springs, offered us a great opportunity to expand our wine operations with both a new tasting room and a giant winery complete with one of North Carolina’s first legal liquor stills.
