Hi!\u00a0 We're the NC Wine Guys. We are two guys who love North Carolina Wine, Mead, Cider, and all things local.\u00a0 Our home base is just north of Charlotte which gives us easy access to most NC Wineries and Vineyards within a 2-hour drive.<\/p>\n

Our journey started in 2013 when we visited a few wineries as part of a birthday celebration. Our early days were focused on visiting as many wineries as we could. We started our blog back in 2014 as a way to keep up with our winery and vineyard travels.\u00a0\u00a0 We shifted focus early on to promote those business that were producing wines from grapes (and other fermentables) grown right here in our state.<\/p>\n

As we continued to explore all that the state has to offer, we continued to build our network of fellow bloggers and industry professionals.\u00a0 We currently focus on promoting the online presence of the North Carolina Wine Industry by connecting bloggers with people in the industry and by helping to improve the social media presence of business in the industry across the state.<\/p>\n

Here on ncwineguys.com, you'll find content that's tailored to help you discover local wine and explore what's out there for yourself.\u00a0\u00a0 It doesn't matter if you're new to the state or if you're a seasoned expert, you're sure to find old favorites and discover new places to add to your list.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
