"It's Not About the Wine; Just the Experience."

As a couple of folks who enjoy good wine and a little back roads adventure, we want to share our visits to the wineries nearby. The number of wineries in North Carolina and Virginia continues to grow, and as we travel to as many of them as we can, we'll offer our impressions, and just maybe some information you don't normally find in the brochures. We hope you find Byway & Vine enjoyable, informative, and a place where you can share your experiences too.

Salute! A North Carolina Wine Celebration




This past weekend The Weekend Winers dropped in the 5th annual Salute! Wine Celebration sponsored by BB and T in downtown Winston-Salem. Although the weather was threatening rain; during our visit it was very pleasant.
 Winston Salem blocked off about three blocks in the heart of downtown for this event.




 





At one end of the event a stage was set up for performers; the other end is where wrist bands were sold for the tasting however if you were just interested in walking the event the wrist bands were not required.







With 30 some wineries to taste and the size of the crowd tat the winery tents most appeared to choose the wine tastings.


One who chose not to partake of the spirits seemed satisfied with that decision.






Food was available as well as some other merchandising vendors.
All in all it was a super event and we would highly recommend you take in the 6th annual next year if you missed this year.
