About Raffaldini Vineyards
In the Press: Named North Carolina’s best winery by Tasting Table in its July 2026 feature on the best winery in every US state.
Raffaldini raised a villa in the Swan Creek hills: the Raffaldini family's Ronda estate grows Vermentino, Montepulciano and Sangiovese with appassimento technique, the hilltop Villa d'Este-styled tasting hall earning the 'Chianti of the Carolinas' line the property long ago outgrew. Italian-variety conviction and villa theater built the state's most transporting estate. La dolce vita, Ronda exit.
