About Grandfather Vineyard & Winery
Grandfather Vineyard and Winery sits at the foot of Grandfather Mountain in Banner Elk, one of the highest-elevation wineries in the eastern United States, with a creekside tasting area that draws crowds all summer. The family estate grows cold-hardy vines and supplements with fruit from across the Carolinas.
Dogs splash in the Watauga River headwaters while guests sip flights under the pines, making it the quintessential High Country wine stop. Ski-town proximity keeps it lively in every season.
