About Old Barn Winery
The Old Barn Winery is a family dream: creating a vineyard and winery in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Our farming roots run four generations deep in these beautiful mountains and we always envisioned our Christmas trees and vines growing together in perfect harmony. Every bottle is filled with the same love, passion and commitment our family has poured into our farms since 1960.
