STONE ASHE VINEYARDS

In 2010, Craig and Tina Little started to imagine an estate vineyard similar to those of the great growing regions of France. So began their story to pursue a second lifelong passion: grape growing and winemaking. After successful primary careers in dentistry, they turned their attention to finding the correct vineyard site.


As part of their evolution, the vineyard is becoming a family affair and so they invite you to stop by and become part of their story as they strive for innovation and devotion in this exciting journey.

Botanist and Barrel

BOTANIST AND BARREL

POINT LOOKOUT VINEYARD

Point Lookout Vineyard rests atop the southeast slope of Point Lookout Mountain with 30 mile panoramic views. The vines may not appreciate the scenery, but they are greeted with the morning sun and cooling mountain breezes that allow them to produce stunning wines that you will find just as wonderful as the views.

BURNTSHIRT VINEYARDS

What started primarily as a grape growing operation evolved into the idea of a winery when owners Lemuel and Sandra Oates, recognizing the quality of their fruit and the opportunity to be a part of the thriving North Carolina wine industry, decided to embark on production of their own premium, estate wines.
