Open: Year Round

Our Story:

At Mountain Brook Vineyards, crafting wine is a labor of love. We take great care in nurturing our 7.5-acre vineyard, nestled in the isothermal belt foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. 

We planted our first root stocks in Tryon, North Carolina in Polk County in 2002. For many years, we operated as a successful grape growing business. Our dream has always been to create wines of perfect balance and taste. This summer, we will introduce our first vintage of Chardonnay. In 2014, we will launch our first vintages of Pinot Grigio, Petit Verdot and a Bordeaux blend. 

All of our wines are made of 100% NC grapes, harvested by hand, and fermented separately in oak barrels and unoaked stainless steel tanks. We keep our vintages small to ensure the highest quality. 

With its long sunny days and cool nights, Polk County has been an ideal grape growing region for more than 120 years. Brig. Gen. UIysses Doubleday, a member of the Doubleday Publishing Co. family and brother of Abner Doubleday, the inventor of baseball, started one of the first large vineyards in Polk County in 1890. The area's gentle, rolling hills and clay-loam soils have proved to be an excellent spot for vinifera grapes. With miles and miles of breathtaking equestrian estates, it's also a spectacular place to live and visit.
