What is Whippoorwill Vineyards?

Whippoorwill Vineyards is a hidden treasure. Ever since 2005, this family-owned spot has created tasty wines, made from their locally-grown, anti-oxidant-filled muscadine grapes. Now, 15 years later, their vintages are sold and served all over our state.

You’ll also be able to buy their pecans, which they grow on-site. Plus, they have a gift shop too, so you can pick out some fun fare to remember your trip.

Don’t forget—their harvest begins towards the end of next month. So, if you want to visit, that’s the perfect time of year.
