Best of Cork Talk: Marked Tree Vineyard

Best of Cork Talk: Marked Tree Vineyard

We’re featuring another Best of Cork Talk episode, this time we revisit our conversation with Lance Hiatt and Tim Parks from Marked Tree Vineyard in Flat Rock, NC! We catch up about how things have changed over the past 5 years including a brand new production facility and other changes that help to elevate North Carolina Wine.

Marked Tree Vineyard is situated on the Eastern Continental Divide. Water on one side of the vineyard eventually runs into the Atlantic Ocean while on the other side it runs into the Gulf of Mexico. This unique location is an excellent site for growing grapes, producing wine, and simply relaxing and enjoying nature.
