Not far from the town of Banner Elk is the award winning Banner Elk Winery. In non-pandemic times weddings are held on the property and they have a lovely tasting room with a sampler of 4 wines $10, and by the glass $8. Tried their reds and they were good quality especially their award- winning blueberry which was delicious, however, $39 a bottle is out of my price range. Here’s some pictures of the grounds and tasting room.
