The Yadkin Valley is home to more than a dozen thriving wineries and small vineyards, many of them now producing award winning vintages. Because most are small they usually attract fewer visitors and provide more access to the winemakers themselves. That makes for a great chance to try some new wines and to learn about the winemaking process. Combine this with the Yadkin Valley's active outdoor activities and charming yet affordable turn-of-the-century bed and breakfasts, and you have the makings of a great wine country family vacation.
