Our Story

Watauga Lake Winery: A blend of history and vision

While our winery’s history is steeped in unexpected stories (just ask our staff) around a 1940s school house, we’re most proud to be a part of the Waterfront Group’s vision for this property: revitalizing this historical place and developing undiscovered land that deserves to be enjoyed by everyone, all while preserving its natural beauty. We hope our little winery by the lake will bring even more attention to the beauty of this area and gather even more friends and neighbors around a perfect glass of local wine.
