Laurel Gray Vineyards — 250 Years of Family Legacy, World-Class Wine
On a gentle slope in the Swan Creek AVA of the Yadkin Valley sits Laurel Gray Vineyards — a place where over 250 years of farming history meets award-winning winemaking. For 10 generations, the Myers family has farmed this valley, starting with a 400-acre land grant from Queen Charlotte of England in 1773.
Fast forward to 1999, when Ben and Kim Myers transformed their family’s heritage into something new: planting French wine grapes and converting an old milking parlor into a tasting room. Over 25 years later, Laurel Gray has earned a reputation for producing some of the finest wines not just in North Carolina, but on the entire East Coast.
