Stony Mountain and Uwharrie in the Albemarle area, and Dennis Vineyards in Endy: three stops for an afternoon away from the water.

The Rustic, the public beer-and-wine bar at Dennis Vineyards, is an Endy-area stop west of Albemarle. Food trucks and music add to the outing on scheduled dates.

Uwharrie’s reserved tastings and tours are separate from its public wine-room hours. Stony Mountain’s tasting room and The Rustic at Dennis Vineyards have their own schedules too; private-event office hours aren’t bar hours.
Arrange a designated driver or hired transport before tasting. One winery and a meal in Albemarle can be plenty for an afternoon. Our wine-country itinerary is a suggested outing, not an affiliated tour.
