The Charlotte Douglas International Airport includes a wine tasting bar which is wholly dedicated to the wines of Yadkin Valley (located about 60 miles north of the airport). The Yadkin Valley AVA is an American Viticultural Area that encompasses seven counties of northwestern North Carolina including all of Wilkes, Surry, and Yadkin counties, and parts of Davie, Davidson, Forsyth and Stokes counties. With typical Charlotte regional flair, the tasting bar is located in at the airport between a Harley Davidson shop and a Starbucks – just down from a NASCAR exhibit.
Home to approximately 23 family run wineries, winegrowing in the region has grown to rival is neighbor Virginia in terms of quality and production. With the thankful decline of tobacco use, farming in this region has embraced winegrowing. In fact, the Plonk family cellar already includes the region’s most famous wine, the 2008 Brushy Mountain “Booger Swamp” White Wine, which was featured on The Jay Leno show last October.
