Shelton Vineyards

Shelton Vineyards is the largest family-owned estate winery in North Carolina and a pioneer in the Yadkin Valley wine region.

Founded in 1999 by brothers Charlie and Ed Shelton, Shelton Vineyards is the largest family-owned estate winery in North Carolina. It features 90 acres of grapes, along with a state-of-the-art tasting room, award- winning restaurant, event pavilion and picnic areas on the grounds. Shelton Vineyards’ belief is that fine wine begins in the vineyard. The location, in the heart of North Carolina’s Yadkin Valley, provides an ideal climate and soil conditions. The winery is a gravity-flow facility, eliminating the need to pump the product from one step to the next. Shelton Vineyards uses French, American and Hungarian oak barrels. Barrels are housed in three barrel rooms, including a barrel cave that evokes old-world charm.
