Buck
Shoals is one of the brand new wineries in the Swan
Creek Region. Opening in October 2004 for a progressive festival
in Swan Creek, Buck Shoals was host to over 250 visitors in their
first afternoon!
The vineyard is located in Hamptonville, N.C. on Windsor Road approximately
2 miles from Buck Shoals Creek. The creek was the home of Buck Shoals
Mill, a water wheel grist mill that was built around 1880. This was the
inspiration for the vineyards name.
Buck
Shoals Vineyards is a bonded winery sharing a production facility
with another bonded winery, Raffaldini Vineyards. This unique arrangement
enables two separate wineries to operate under one roof, thereby
reducing overhead while producing totally separate and distinct
wines. This building currently houses the production equipment
and a temporary tasting room.
Buck Shoals is growing still, there are plans underway to have the tasting
room and wine shop in a new log cabin in front of the winery.
