Hightower Creek Vineyards

My group of friends and i went today and we cannot stop talking about it. One of the best days EVER!!! The wine was incredible and the service made it even better. The owners son was so sweet to us and gave us a tour of the winery although they were close to closing!! We had such a great experience and we cannot wait to come back!

Love the vineyards, the "great staff" and view was great. Did we say the wine was very good, loved the Chardonnay on the left do good, and the Chutaga Red was so delicious. One of our favs. A must go to and enjoy. Wine prices wer good $$.

Relaxing family vibe winery. The pre-set tasting menus are nice at the counter, indoor or outdoor, with the knowledgeable and engaging staff. Recommend the Symphony rose with Thai food! The wine slushies are yummy, aka dangerous! This is a repeat winery...I'll be back!

Where to start? What a great experience! We had a group of 8 (all family members from Texas, Alabama and Florida) staying in Highlands, NC, who had never been to Hightower Creek Winery. It was pretty crowded, as it was a beautiful fall day in September, and the winery had a good folk singer playing outdoors. We choose to sit at a picnic table on the ground beneath the deck where the music was playing.
The owner, Fred, was unbelievably helpful, and suggested a wine tasting for the group would be our best option (and easier to service, too, as the staff had their hands full with the big crowd).

We had a great experience. We stopped by while live music was playing on the patio. The service was great. The weather was perfect. The wine was great. Highly recommend making this a stop on your trip!

We Throughly Enjoyed our visit at this Beautiful Vinyard...Thanks For your Hospitality.. Rick & Mary Pat (HH)

The red tasting was great. All of the wines were good, but I most especially enjoyed the first wine (the cab franc) and the last wine (I can’t recall the name, but it was similar to a pinot noir). My spouse had a wine ‘lushie’, which she enjoyed, too. Staff was personable and kind, and the grounds were beautiful and well maintained. The swing at the top of the hill was a very calming place to sit, look out over the vineyards, and watch the bunnies graze on clover. Coming to the winery was a positive experience.

Lovely vineyard and tasting room! Everyone was very welcoming and accommodating of our large loud group! Delicious wines and very reasonably priced tastings!! The grounds are lovely and the staff (family) were so friendly and fun!

Tried the white muscadine and the dueling banjos wines. Good wine, and the atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous! I recommend! They are closed on Tuesdays.

On top of being beautiful, the staff was amazing. They have live music on Saturdays and allow dogs on their porch. We opted to drink a bottle of wine (the Red Clay Rose was delicious with just a hint of sweetness) on the chairs by the pond while our dog frolicked with the vineyard dog. We could not have planned a more relaxing afternoon. But we plan to come back without our dog to take full advantage of the tasting room.
