Dobbins Creek Vineyard

Came to dobbins creek vineyards and had a great time with Warren our wine pourer. White and red wines are good, so come by and try out this winery!

My husband and I stopped at Dobbins Creek based on a recommendation from a co-​worker and after a pleasant tasting we retired to the porch to enjoy a glass each and contemplate what bottles we wanted to buy. The wine was good, don’t get me wrong, but what came next completely reversed our opinion of this establishment.
As we were finishing our glasses on the porch we overheard the tasting room staff, and also I believe the owner, «critiquing» us. They didn’t seem to think that they were talking loud enough for us to hear them, they even commented on this fact, but hear them we could — loud and clear.
They commented on our perceived knowledge of wine, comparing us to each other with the comment, «Believe it or not she seems to know more than he does…» This comment was then followed up with, «Well, he doesn’t look like someone who would know wine…» I guess they’ve never seen a wine aficionado in tie-​dyed shirt.
As you can imagine we were flabbergasted, I felt as if I was on a hidden-​camera TV show because in what other scenario would someone be so blatantly rude and condescending with out provocation.
If our opinion of this group wasn’t damaged enough at this point the kicker was when their attention diverted to three couples who had just arrived. Before the visitors were even out of their cars the owner was challenging the staff on how many cases they could unload on the group. I had definitely had my fill.
My husband and I are both big proponents of the Yadkin Valley AVA and are wine club members of several other local vineyards. We often encourage friends and family to try the wineries in our area, assuring them that the Yadkin Valley has as much to offer as California but with out pretense. We will continue to visit and support the wineries that have welcomed us with open arms but you can be certain that we will not be recommending or returning to Dobbins Creek.

I went here last weekend with some girlfriends for a bachelorette party. It was WONDERFUL! Charles the owner, what a sweet man! The wines are PHENOMENAL if you like dry wines. Until last Saturday I had never had a dry wine that was made in NC. That is all Charles makes. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch on the porch, that was part of the wine tour we did. I don’t know if Dobbins Creek has food available. Maybe Cheezits, as those are what Charles had for us to clear our pales! This is a special place and if you get a chance to stop in, do. You won’t be disappointed!

I love to visit Dobbins Creek. The staff is always very welcoming and Charles is always on hand to greet the visitors and answer questions. The wine is great and we usually leave with no less than 2 cases. It’s a little bit of a drive (1 ½ hours) but always so worth it. I have visited about 10 in this area and this is by far my favorite!

Love the wine here and the atmosphere. Always enjoy coming and have a glass or bottle with friends on the porch. My favorite wine here is the merlot.

Lovely serene setting and very nice wines. We purchased their dry riesling and a bottle of rose to enjoy on the porch while we struck up a nice conversation with other folks, both visiting and local/​family. Open year round with a big fireplace for the winter. I would happily return.

My wife and I visited Charles and his winery and had a great time. The place is off the beaten path so it’s no so crowded as some of the other wineries. The place is really nice, great big fireplace and the porch was a great place to hang out with a glass of wine after you have finished your tasting. It was nice to deal with the owner because you actually get some background on his winery and his passion for wine. This particular area has been in his family for a few generations and used as farm lands which Charles grew up farming as a boy. We found it nice to learn a little bit about the background. We have visited both Napa Valley and Sonoma County Wineries and the one on one wih the owners of several other wineries made this a fun day.

Ah, Charles! Runs the winery and is such a sweetheart. I went here with my sister, who hangs out quite often. They have a beautiful wine tasting room with hardwood floors and beautiful high ceilings… and you can enjoy your glass (es) of wine out in a rocking chair on their front porch which has close to 270 degree views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Brushy Mountains. Gorgeous rolling farmland surrounds this beautiful winery, with it’s tasting room up on a hill.
You MUST try their blackberry wine with chocolate… oh my word! So good!
