Stony Mountain and Uwharrie in the Albemarle area, and Dennis Vineyards in Endy: three stops for an afternoon away from the water.
Albemarle / Endy
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.
24055 Endy Road, Albemarle, NC 28001
Public bar hours and food-truck availability vary; confirm the current schedule on the official website.
Albemarle
An Albemarle vineyard with a ridge-top tasting room and two rocky walking trails.
26370 Mountain Ridge Road, Albemarle, NC 28001
Confirm current tasting availability and Sunday opening directly before travel.
Albemarle
Uwharrie Vineyards has a wine room and patio on Austin Road outside Albemarle. Drop in during public wine-room hours for a glass; tastings and tours need a reservation.
28030 Austin Road, Albemarle, NC 28001
Tastings and tours require advance reservations; verify availability with the winery before traveling.
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.
