Daveste Vineyards - Troutman

Just off I-77 in Troutman is a great place to relax in an idyllic setting. We enjoyed our visit on this beautiful fall afternoon! (see posted photos). Google maps can get you there quickly via I-77 (interstate) OR the alternate route which takes you through scenic back county roads. The tasting room is spacious with a cozy indoor seating area next to a fireplace. There 's a private event building behind the tasting room (social event happening, so we couldn 't go inside). They host weddings and receptions here. LOTS of outdoor seating (see photos)... covered patio on the hill above the lake and waterfall area. Tables and chairs for 4-6 parties are scattered throughout the grassy areas. Patio next to the tasting room had rectangular gas firepit (took the chill off the autumn air). Large selection of wines (red white) AND surprise they also have beers on tap brewed by Daveste ' (see photos of taps inside tasting room). Today there was live entertainment, so almost all the grassy spaces had folks with blankets, their own lawn chairs....singing and dancing to the music. There was also a hot dog vendor on site. However, the tasting room offers a good selection of cheeses, meats, and crackers for purchase. Bringing your own picnic basket is also welcomed. Staff greet you and interact with you like you are family. A staff member explained the new construction will be their larger wine processing plant, all under one roof. Looking forward to returning!

My wife and I flew came here from TX last year to visit and we had a pleasant experience. We decided to come back on our trip back to NC this week. However, the lady (9/29/2022) did not greet us when we came in or for the first 4-5 min we were there. She was too busy talking to I assume a regular, we had to walk up and acknowledge her and even then she STILL kept talking to the other customer for a solid 20 seconds. My wife was asking about one of the wines and she gave her a dirty look for whatever reason, which I did not appreciate. I'm not one to leave negative reviews but I work at a winery and this was completely unacceptable. I'm leaving 3 stars because of the nice property and good service the first time around, but the experience the other night was not good.

Perfect place to escape from the city. Very clean and friendly location. I liked their appearance. Very reasonable prices and great variety of wines and beers. My favorite one is La Brisa. We were here on Father’s day eve so there was the life band performing. Five stars:

Such a cute Winery with lots of outdoor space! It’s relaxing and the wine is good. They also have snacks and often a food truck outside.

Excellent experience, for once a vineyard that had a superb setting area, not one but three. Plus a range of beers and vines. We chose some of the cheeses and crisps. Judy and Debbie were so helpful. 3 hours and still having fun. We shall return soon, nothing like this in the UK. If you want a cool afternoon this is it.
