Mountain Region

Stretching from the southern border of Virginia to the northern border of Georgia, the Mountain Region of North Carolina is home to vineyards and wineries that prefer to grow grapes that do well at higher elevations.

Biltmore Estate Winery

At the Biltmore Estate Winery, tradition meets state-of-the-art technology under the direction of French winemaker Bernard Delille. Vineyards on the estate's west side grow several varieties of vinifera grapes while the estate's former dairy complex now houses the winery. It produces 75,000 cases of wine each year in about 15 varieties.
