Steve’s take
Founded by NASCAR legend Richard Childress, this winery is about twenty minutes off I-77 and is nicer than it has any right to be sitting in the middle of North Carolina. The grounds are gorgeous, there's a restaurant, and the wine tasting is legit. Kids? They'll be bored in twenty minutes. But if your co-pilot has been earning road trip sainthood for two days straight, this might be the 'thank you' stop that keeps the marriage intact.
