I have always loved Chemistry, learning how nature worked on a molecular level. I also loved the chemistry of people, learning about what shaped them and their beliefs. I followed that path with my degree and ultimately to sales. After 13 successful years in New York's Financial District, managing global teams, global customers and traveling the world, something was still missing.
Harvested at peak ripeness and utilizing slow, cool fermentation in stainless steel, allows us to capture medium-bodied characteristics with balanced acidity, intense fruit of apple, and hints of peach and pear. By barrel aging this Reserve wine in French Oak, it imparts creamy and buttery aromas that are followed by soft vanilla notes.

Very tasty wines & a beautiful location.
Good selection & they have a few non-alcoholic drinks & beers for anyone in your group who doesn't like wine.
Overflow parking lot has tons of space, but is a bit of an uphill walk, so if you have anyone with trouble walking drop them off before going to park.
Inside has a few seats, but there are plenty of outside seats.
We are looking forward to returning to Silver Fork next time we are in that area.

Great visit to Morganton for Apple picking followed by a random stop at this lovely Vinyard. The view was amazing.

Spectacular piedmont setting, overlooking green forest and to low mountains to the southeast. Highly recommend a bottle with available cheese and crackers, then sit out and enjoy life. Music during summer and fall Sunday afternoons. We recommend the cab franc. Fabulous.

Pleasantly surprised! We stopped an hour from home in Asheville, not knowing what to expect, and were delighted by what we discovered. Beautiful views, great music, perfect weather, good wine, and great service.

We'll be stopping here again, for sure!

Fantastic wine! Amazing views of the mountains. Quaint and cute! Came on a Wednesday around 4:00. Not empty but slow and relaxed.

Way over priced for what they have. The wine is young and not mature and it taste that way. They are linited on selection and overall limited on lots of things. You would expect to pay these prices at a high end establishment that offered many amenities. The views are nice if you also enjoy looking at outhouses and the owners home near by. This place is a let down. Silverfork also wants you the wear a mask and the owner came in and did not have one on while he used his phone. Do as I say not as I do.

This is one of my favorite wineries in North Carolina. I like every single wine they carry, including their whites. This is a huge deal for me as I'm not a big white wine drinker. Their Rosé is fantastic. The reds are to die for, most especially the Cabernet Franc. The facility is lovely. Outdoor seating with a fire pit for cool evenings. Stunning mountain views, seating overlooking the vineyards. They also have a separate large event space for weddings, parties, anniversary celebrations, etc. We try to stop here every time we go to Asheville. It is only a few minutes drive off of Interstate

Amazing wines and views! We also loved the live music and that it was dog friendly! Every wine I tried was so good. My favorite was the Cabernet Franc.

Very disappointing- called the day before to confirm they would be open, advised they would be. After driving all the way out there, they are closed. No mention on their voicemail nor do they even answer the phone. Poor customer service

The view and tasting room are definitely 5 star. We were able to try one rosé and three reds. My favorite was the Cab Franc. They have a lot of outdoor seating looking over the vineyard which was nice & spread out. It's definitely worth the visit. I only have 4 stars because I liked 1/4 wines.

We used to stay at a nearby BnB that has since closed and they told us about this place and near Morganton this is our favorite place to stay.
Could it be better? For wine and view, NO WAY!

Less than a 2 hour run from Charlotte and fire pits and covered seating make it the place to go year round.

Relax, Leave the kids and Pets at home and just go relax. Place to romance the love in your life and music, games etc.

I highly recommend this place and not far a drive to Morganton to catch lunch or Dinner or have charcuterie at Silver Fork. Just FYI they do not prepare it for you (Which I think is

A beautiful estate, but on the weekend we visited it was simply overwhelmed. Not only that, but it clearly had too many patrons to maintain any degree of COVID precautions. We met many turning back for the same reasons we did.

Great experience! My friend and I visited this winery on a Sunday afternoon from Charlotte, NC and the lady working was so welcoming and took her time to explain the wines. I wish there was a food truck or delivery available...that would have made it even better! Thanks for a pleasant experience!

This is a great vineyard to come, relax, enjoy the view while tasting their excellent estate wines. The pictures say more than my words could ever convey. We drove an hour and a half, and it was worth the time invested to get there. Lots of comfortable seating. Shade provided for sunny days and the long range views are incredible.

Always a great time at Silver Fork! We love bringing a snack and relaxing in the nice adirondack chairs that look out over the vineyard and to the mountains. We also love bringing our pup in the summer months and listening to live music. They often have fun events, one of my favorites is an outdoor movie series in the summer. If you are in the Morganton/Nebo area I recommend you stop by!

The wine might be great. I'd love to be able to report on that, but unfortunately on the day we tried to visit, they chose to close at least a full hour before their actual closing time. We arrived comfortably an hour before closing, and it looked deserted. We checked their Facebook page and confirmed that they weren't supposed to be closed yet. We checked their website and confirmed that they weren't supposed to be closed yet. We sat in our car in the parking lot and called their phone number. The voicemail greeting confirmed that they were still supposed to be open. Yet the door

Fantastic views!! Plenty of seating outside around the tasting room and also a cabana and a nice fire pit. We are not dry wine drinkers so we only had the Rose' but we liked it . Tasting area is kind of small so we sat under the huge shade trees. This will be a great come to place in fall with the leaves changing and even winter with the fireplace inside and fire pit outside.

Weekend trip to the mountains with a bunch of girlfriends and this place was on the to do list. I was a little apprehensive as other wineries I have visited in NC have honestly been a disappointment, but not this place. Located outside of Morgonton, the Silver Fork Winery is adorably situated on a hill overlooking rolling hills of vineyards. Very well manicured the place is amazing for an afternoon get away. Even better was the wine which was predominately done in a Bordeaux styling meaning everything was on the drier side.

Would definitely stop back in if I were in the general vicinity.

What a GORGEOUS place. The minute you pull up you feel like you're somewhere else. The stunning views make you feel like you're almost in Italy.

The tasting room is pretty big and had a variety of local cheeses and crackers to enjoy with wine. They also have a food truck and while we didn't get anything the food we saw coming out looked sooooooo delicious.

Service was friendly and we enjoyed learning a bit about the local wine scene.

You can't beat the views and we went on a perfect sunny day. It was a great experience!
