We were greeted by Marie, our host, and resident wine server; who along with much knowledge about their wine provided much information on NC wine history.
Having been in business since 2000 the winery sits on several acres and produces 12 different wines; all pleasant and delightful. For only $5.00 and the glass; we sampled all of what they produced. Wines are reasonably priced and all are produced and bottled on site. Tasting room hours are Thursday –Sunday 12-6.
GlenMarie also had a few additional surprises in store outside; the first of which was their dog park in which they hold regular events, and two new additions to the family Alpacas. As Marie told us a surprise gift from Glen after she had seen some at a friends. When asked if they were pet friendly Glen indicated that normally they prefer to do the petting but they both were very friendly.
