| Divine Llama Vineyards |
This past Sunday, we took a couple of our friends to a few of our favorite local Yadkin Valley wineries. We have been to
Divine Llama and
Flint Hill more times than we can count, and, admittedly, are quite well known at both. Both of these wineries offer some of the very best wine of the Yadkin Valley and are certainly two of the most welcoming. While our friends took part in a full tasting at each, we had a glass of our favorites at both: Chambourcin and In a Heartbeat (a 50/50 blend of Merlot and Chambourcin) at Divine Llama, and Cabernet Sauvignon at Flint Hill. And, of course, what trip to Divine Llama is complete without a visit to its namesake -- the llamas and alpacas. Two of the llamas put on a show for the camera with a slight tussle.
Our small adventure concluded with a final stop at
Westbend Vineyards and Brewhouse. Westbend is the oldest winery in the Yadkin Valley. While we had been there once before (at the end of a long wine adventure), we wanted to go back for a second tasting. The age of the vines and the experience certainly shows at Westbend and several of their wines are simply outstanding. While service and charm is not what it is at some of our favorites, this is still a 'not to be missed' Yadkin winery (and the only one in Forsyth County, at least until a new winery opens in April).
