Begun in 2006, this winery near Elkin is a fun and enchanting way to enjoy the fruits of the season — and be wowed by the resident llamas. Fifty llamas, to be exact.

The 77-acre property reserves 22 acres for the llamas to graze, but they’re more often found cohorting with the guests.

In the spring and fall seasons, they host their ever-popular Llama Treks. Saddle up your llama with all the fixings of a picnic and then head off to explore the 77-acre estate, stopping for a nice little lunch (with wine, of course!) in a shady spot under a canopy of trees. Their llama treks JUST started up again for the season, but the reservations fill up fast (hint, hint).
