Scenic Winery in North Carolina's Yadkin Valley
Roaring River Vineyards: A Natural Retreat
Roaring River Vineyards is nestled in the picturesque Yadkin Valley, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and rich history dating back to the 1700s. Located at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this 47-acre vineyard is bordered by the Roaring River to the north and lush woodlands to the east and south. Visitors can enjoy a serene escape into nature while savoring exquisite wines accompanied by the soothing sounds of the flowing river.
Ideal Climate for Winemaking
Tom and Josephine Silvey initially sought a weekend retreat when they purchased this property in 2001. Covered in dense woods, they soon discovered that the region's terroir and climate closely resembled that of Burgundy, France, making it perfect for viticulture. With a newfound passion for winemaking, the Silveys designed and developed the vineyard, even attending a Viticulture and Oenology seminar at Surry Community College. Today, Roaring River Vineyards produces a variety of wines, including Red, White, Rosé, and Dessert wines, crafted from grape varieties such as Traminette, Chardonel, Norton, and Chambourcin.
Rich History Surrounding the Vineyard
The vineyard's well-maintained vines yield high-quality grapes, which are transformed into exceptional wines at Elkin Creek. Adding to the charm of Roaring River Vineyards is its proximity to the historic Brewer Mill, which operated in the 18th century before being destroyed by a flood in 1940. This historical backdrop enhances the vineyard's appeal, making it a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

A little out of way but worth a Sunday drive to visit. The Restaurant Tasting Room situated above the river offers beautiful scenery. The menu was Cafe style, limited selections but ample enough to satisfy any hungry guests. The river itself is marked private, no trespassing. The manager said fishing is allowed as catch and release basis but is implied to apply to guests staying at their lodge.

The atmosphere here is great and the service is always exceptional! The wines taste great and any food we have ordered here was good as well. A good selection of alcoholic beverages beyond their wines as well.

This was our first visit to Roaring River and I promise it will not be our last! The entryway is gorgeous and I feel like a lot of detail and attention was paid to making you feel like you’re entering a little Italian vineyard ❤️ We sat outside on the deck overlooking the river and it was just heavenly out there! The sound of the roaring river- obviously gives away the namesake - relaxes you while you sip your wine. We did the standard 7 tasting and felt the pours were generous, the price was good and I loved the Traminette!! Our day there was fantastic!

You were awesome!❣️ we are definitely looking forward to coming back! The food was delicious, and the vineyard was beautiful! WHAT A VIEW, to sit and enjoy a meal!

While camping nearby, we decided to check this place out. It’s dog friendly so Rex was happy. We went on a Friday at lunch time and it was not crowded at all. Staffing seemed short but our waitress was hustling. We ordered spinach and artichoke dip appetizer. She did a flight of wine tastings and I ordered a very tasty honey dew ale. We sat outside on the deck that overlooks the creek. Great view. This place has a restaurant and a small campground (minimal hookups for around 10 campers or RVs). I would have given it a 5 star review, but one of the workers was using a gas blower very close by. They should have done that before opening or after closing. Otherwise a good experience.
