This North Carolina Century Farm began back in 1896 when the ancestors of Kathy Coe bought a tract of land in Southern Surry County. The farm was a means of survival, in a time when nothing came easy. In the early 1940’s the vineyard area was cleared with hand tools and domesticated animals and put into cultivation. During this time, tobacco was the claimed cash crop. In April of 2001, 5.25 acres of grape vines lined the very landscape that had once been tobacco. Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, and Niagara began establishing themselves, giving way to the tasting room and winery opening in 2004. The wine is made onsite by Van Coe (5th generation) and Jonah Hoosier (6th generation). We strive to grow quality grapes, produce exquisite wines, and most of all, maintain the “cultural preserve” of our family farm and business
