Raffaldini Vineyards in Ronda, N.C.
Jay Raffaldini longed to bring Italian-style wine to the Carolinas. After searching 60 different locations, he settled on a 102-acre estate in the Swan Creek area of Yadkin Valley, in Ronda, which lies at the same latitude as southern Italy. Sommelier Trevor Burton says you don’t want to miss Raffaldini’s Tuscan villa tasting room and intense wines. Tours are available daily (except Tuesdays).
