Review:

Yadkin Valley is located in the state’s northwest corner and is the first region in America to have been federally recognized as an American Viticulture Area, or AVA. The wine growing region is home to more than 35 vineyards and wineries. Annual events include May’s Yadkin Valley Wine Festival, and the Pumpkin Festival each fall. Visit downtown Elkin, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, for small town charm, breweries and distilleries, historic landmarks, farm to table dining and shopping at independently owned boutiques. Elkin, at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is also the gateway to northwest North Carolina’s great outdoors. Enjoy hiking, biking, and kayaking in the area’s many parks and rivers.
