Native Vines Winery: Where the Past Meets a Cheeky Glass of Wine
A Quick Introduction to the Old and the New
So, there you are, up on the rolling pastures of Lexington, North Carolina, standing at the very spot that some greater being decided should house the first American Indian-owned winery in the entire country. How cool is that? Native Vines Winery isn’t just about the wine; it’s about history too, and Darlene Gabbard, our devoted oenophile and Lumbee tribe member, has created a veritable playground for adults. Yes, you heard it right. This isn’t just a winery; it’s a blend of culture, nature, and just a dash of cheekiness.
What’s the Ambiance Like?
If you step inside, you’ll find limited seating that somehow feels just cozy enough to welcome you in from the great outdoors, but then the outdoor patio — oh dear, that’s where the real magic happens. It screams “bring your mates, grab a picnic table, and get ready to sip some award-winning vitis vinifera wines” (who knew that was even a thing?). You may stumble upon an arrowhead or two while pondering the mysteries of old world style wines versus, well, new world wines. And I mean, why not? You could even let the kids run wild on the expansive grounds while you let a little fun sparkle in your glass — not a bad way to do life, eh?
The Culinary Delights
Now let’s talk about the sips and the snacks. The winery offers a full line of award-winning wines, including a rather cleverly inspired first line of Green Tea Wines. Who even thought of that? Cup of tea? No, dear friend, it’s a glass of sophisticated refreshment that could possibly change the way you have tea parties for the rest of your life. And if you fancy a bit of fruit in your life, those fruit blends are certainly going to knock your socks off. I mean, if you’re going to drink fruit, it might as well be a winery-level experience, right?
Service & Sips
And let’s be honest about the service. There’s no snobbery found here. Gratuity might be included for big groups (because, you know, you have to tip the fabulous humans who make this possible), but other than that it’s all about tasting without the pretense. No reservations needed; just show up, glass in hand, and let the adventure begin at your convenience.
A Little Bit of Everything
So, as you meander through the 36 acres bordered by Highway 150 and the Indian Grave Creek, know that you’re not just tasting wine; you’re embracing a symphony of all the best things in life: nature, laughter, and conversations that last well past the glass. You might even feel a dash of mischief in the air, something that can only be described as the playful spirit of good wine and great company.
