We recently spent five days in the Yadkin Valley of North Carolina on assignment for Visit NC. The goal of the project was for us to capture the spirit of the wine industry in our home state. Our itinerary was jam-packed but we loved every single minute of it. We toured close to 25 different locations, met with various wine-makers and owners, tasted what they were making, and even had a couple of side adventures such as a waterfall hike to Carter Falls and a step back in time visiting Old Salem.
