All Experiences - Trillium Vineyard

Vineyard and Winery Tour and Tasting

$35.00 per person

Let’s take a peek “Behind the Vines” with winemaker/owner, Bruce Cross. We will meet at the tasting room promptly at 2 pm on Saturday. You will be served the first of six tastes of wine to sip as we take the short walk through the Lenoir Vineyard on the way to the winery. At the winery, Bruce will discuss the wine making process, grape varietals, and a little history. We might also experience a taste of unfinished wines that are in the tanks. After we get back to the tasting room, we will go into the Bud Break room for tastes of the remaining five wines and pair them with some local cheese and crackers. Bruce will discuss with us these wines and answer questions. Reserve your space today! Tour will last about two hours. Max 8 people. Must be 21 years old or older. Price: $35 per person. Wine club members will receive their discount.
