Frequent festivals
If you’d rather go to one place and taste-test the offerings of a number of different wineries, a festival may be the ticket. Some festivals charge a fee up front, while others, like the Yadkin Valley Wine Festival, cater to families by offering free admission and only charging for wine tasting. You’ll find all sorts of fun at wine festivals including children’s activities like face painting, live music, food, car shows, arts, crafts and more.
