Premier Wine Tour from Hendersonville

Explore Wineries From Hendersonville

If you are a wine aficionado who enjoys discerning the different flavors in locally-grown grapes, the nose of each pour and discovering which Hors d'oeuvres compliment your favorite bottle, the Premier Wine Tour from Henderson is definitely for you. If you aren't an aficionado but are curious about wine, this is a great tour for you, too!

This bus tour begins in Hendersonville (located 25 miles from downtown Asheville) and winds through the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, ending after you have sampled some of the most extraordinary wines from several area vineyards. A certified sommelier (wine expert) will act as your guide, introducing you to the different types of grapes grown at each location and offering lessons about which "small plate" appetizers and desserts compliment the various varietals. But you don't have to be a seasoned aficionado to appreciate learning about the wine-making process or the flavors contained in each pour - all you need is curiosity about wine...your guide and the owners of the vineyards will take care of the rest.

An education about local grapes isn't the only perk you will take away from this tour...you will also enjoy the magnificent, panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the area's rolling hills, and the picturesque floral landscapes of each of the vineyards along the way!
