THE WINES
Burntshirt Vineyards offers a wide range of delicious wines from their two vineyards. One is located in Hendersonville and the other in Geston. Both vineyards occupy some of the highest elevated land on the East Coast and span a total of 27 acres. This unique location creates the perfect atmosphere for growing grapes!
Over the past several years, Burntshirt has won several awards and accolades from across the country for their estate grown wines. Their wine is only available at their tasting rooms, gift shop, online store, and select North Carolina stores. However, the tasting rooms are the best way to get a proper taste of what the winery offers!
Tastings are available at their two tasting rooms in Chimney Rock and Hendersonville for only $10. You will receive five custom tastes and an engraved Burntshirt wine glass!
THE GREAT OUTDOORS
Of course, you can always explore the beautiful gardens and vineyards to see for yourself what makes Burntshirt such a special winery. Stroll through the vineyards when you schedule a private tour with the winemaker; this private tour includes two cheese boards and a bottle of wine to enjoy on the terrace!
In addition, general tours of the Hendersonville winery are available at 2:00 p.m. each day. The best part of all? This winery tour is free to the public! For more information on the tours available at Burntshirt, visit their website.
