Where the Mountains Meet the Vines – Souther Williams Vineyard

This episode features Ken Parker from Souther Williams Vineyard in Fletcher, NC! We recorded this episode sitting outside their open air tasting room on a perfect spring afternoon. Ken talked to us about what it’s like growing grapes on his family’s multi-generational farm and what the future of wine looks like in the Crest of the Blue Ridge AVA in Western North Carolina.

Nestled in Hoopers Creek Valley between Hendersonville, NC and Fletcher, NC, Souther Williams Vineyard is in a picturesque setting. The 85-acre farm is situated on a mix of rolling hillsides and fertile flat plains. When you visit, you’ll enjoy a laid-back mountain charm and a unique tasting experience.
