Dobbins Creek Vineyards is set against the backdrop of the beautiful Swan Creek area in the Yadkin Valley. Our vines first took root in 2002 with additional plantings in 2003, 2004 and 2006. We finished construction on a tasting room (pictured right) in late 2007. Dobbins Creek Vineyards offers spectacular views. On most clear days you can see the buildings of Winston-Salem about 43 miles away and on a very clear day you can see the top of Grandfather Mountain about 73 miles to the west. Come out for a visit, enjoy the view and taste some great wines.

After a long and exhaustive search, the Raffaldini Family found an extraordinary section of land that not only reflects their heritage but also holds the promise of making truly classic wines. Some of the varietals are so unique, that the Raffaldini Family is not only the sole vineyard in the East Coast to plant them but also the first in the United States. Tasting room hours are Thursday and Saturday, 12-5 pm; Friday 12-6 pm; Sunday 1-5 pm and by appointment.

Our first planting was in April of that same year. We planted 2 acres of Merlot and 2 acres of Cabernet Franc.  The following year we planted 6.5 more acres which consist of 1.5 acres of Seyval Blanc, 1.5 acres of Chardonnay, 1.5 acres of Viognier, 0.5 acre of Chambourcin, 0.5 acres of Petit Verdot and 1 acre of Cabernet Sauvignon.

In 2011 Chuck and Jamey Johnson purchased the land, winery and tasting room.  They changed the name to Windsor Run Cellars, expanded the tasting room and reopened in March of 2012.  The Johnson's who also own Shadow Springs Vineyard, ½ mile down Crater Road, plan to continue the hard work the Craters have put into the land.  They will continue to make some of the wines Buck Shoals was famous for and will add a few new products along the way.
