. >>> WELCOME TO THE FARMS. IT'S AN AGRITOURISM BUSINESS THAT INCLUDES A WINERY, A BREWERY, A BED AND BREAKFAST. >> THE IDEA WAS TO HAVE A DESTINATION THAT WOULD PROVIDE FAMILIES A PLACE TO RELAX AND ENJOY EACH OTHER'S COMPANY AND MEET FRIENDS AS WELL. >> WE BEGAN WORKING ON THE WINERY, GETTING THAT BUILT OUT. WE HAVE TWO VINEYARDS. AND WE OPENED UP A SMALL TASTING ROOM IN 2017. RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE 13 WINES AND ONE HARD CIDER. . >>> A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK NORTH CAROLINA WINES ARE ALL MUSCADIN AND SWEET. SOME OF THE BEST IN THE STATE ARE CABERNET, CHARDONNAY. OUR WINES DO OFFER SOMETHING FROM EVERYONE FROM THE SWEETER ONES TO THE DRIER ONES. BIG, BOLD, RICH WINES TO SOMETHING LIGHT AND FRUITY. EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIND SOMETHING THAT THEY LIKE. >> THE BREWERY STARTED DOWN IN THE BARN. I HAD A LITTLE CORNER DOWN THERE THAT I HAD A ONE AND A HALF BARREL SYSTEM. WE FIGURED OUT PRETTY QUICK THAT WAS NOT GOING TO BE BIG ENOUGH. I'M UP TO NINE RECIPES NOW. SOME OF THEM ARE SEASONAL. BUT I HAVE FIVE BASE RECIPES THAT I HAVE PRETTY MUCH ALL THE TIME NOW. >> IF YOU GET HUNGRY, WE HAVE A FOOD TRUCK ON SITE. WE LIKE OUR MENUS TO BE LOCALLY SOURCED. IT'S A MENU THAT CHANGES SEASONALLY. NOT ONLY CAN THE ADULTS WALK AROUND THE PROPERTY WITH THEIR DRINKS AND THEY'RE NOT CONFINED TO THE TASTING ROOM, BUT THEY CAN BRING THEIR CHILDREN. WE HAVE PEACOCKS, BUNNIES, CHICKENS, A DONKEY. THERE'S A BIRDHOUSE SCAVENGER HUNT. AND ALSO, AN ECO ICE RINK. >> THE PROSPECT OF HAVING AN ICE SKATING RINK IN NORTH CAROLINA WAS INTRIGUING TO SAY THE LEAST. THE ICE IS MADE OF A SYNTHETIC POLYMER. . >> THIS IS THE ONLY ICE RINK LIKE THIS IN NORTH CAROLINA. IT'S ONE OF THE LARGEST IN THE UNITED STATES. IT'S A YEAR-ROUND ICE SKATING FACILITY THAT LOOKS LIKE ICE, ACTS LIKE ICE, BUT ISN'T ICE. SO WE HAVE THE ADDED BENEFIT OF BEING AN OUTDOOR VENUE WITH 34 ACRES TO EXPLORE. JUST BY WALKING THE GROUNDS OR GO IN THE VINEYARD OR TRY TO FIND HENRY THE PEACOCK AND HIS BROOD. THERE'S LOTS TO DO. YOU CAN HOP ON I-40 AND ESSENTIALLY BE HERE IN TWO AND A HALF HOURS. ONCE YOU GET HERE, IF YOU WANT TO STAY OVERNIGHT, WE HAVE FIVE BEDROOMS IN THE BED IN BREAKFAST, THAT COMES WITH A WINE OR BEER TASTING, BY THE WAY. . >> PARTICULARLY NOW, WE WANT YOU TO HAVE A GREAT TIME HERE. WE WANT YOU TO STAY FOR MORE THAN JUST AN HOUR. WE WANT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TO ENJOY EACH OTHER'S COMPANY, THE COMPANY OF OTHERS IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. GOOD WINE, GOOD BEER, GOOD FOOD. AND WE WANT YOU TO JUST RELAX. WE HAVE HAD QUITE THE YEAR. AND WE THINK THAT YOU DESERVE TO HAVE, WELL, A LITTLE BREAK. . >> TO LEARN MORE, GO TO OUR WEBSITE. OR CHECK US OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
