Can you see the vineyard/winery from the road?  I'd love to check them out and see if they have a tour.
Such a beautiful area!  Tablrock, do you have a view of Table Rock mountain?

yes and yes.  the winery is located on the road (i forget the name) that runs beside aunt sues and the main building and vineyards can be seen from the road.  it is a beautiful location.  to answer your second question i can see tablrock from my home.  it is a treat to live in that area, however the daily commute to greenville can on occasion grow tiresome.

The commute to the city is well worth the location among the foothills and mountains.    For some, this is the way to live, at a getaway setting in the country.  As I said earlier, it would be sad to see that area become less rural and more suburban, but the real estate market has been gaining steam in the past few years.

skyliner u make a very good point about that area not becomming suburban.  however for us "country folk" who live in hwy 11 area it would be VERY nice to c a little more retail. the dilemma being, if u want 2 "run" 2 the grocery store, it's a lot farther than u may think.   as i said before as long as it is done in a smart and tasteful manner.  for instance, a small grocery store that would have the look of a log cabin.  i don't know if any of u guys have ever been 2 the IGA in helen georgia, but if u have then u know of what i speak.  trust me, i have talked with others who live in the area and we don't want hwy 11 to become another pigeon forge (god forbid) .  also as far as the winery is concerned wouldn't it be gr8 if it added a few more amenties such as a small luxury inn/resort and restuarant along with a spa perhaps.  i know i'm probably dreaming here, but i suppose dreaming is allowed.

What sort of wines does this winery offer for sale to the public? To cut to the chase, are they any good?

I showed the website to my wife, and we may go visiti it the next time we are in the Highway 11 area.

wow...i have lived in Greenville all my life and i have never heard a word about this until now....does anybody know a price range for the restaurant?

Well to give you an idea... my wife and I went there a couple years ago and our bill was around $100.  Of course, that was with appetizer and a bottle of wine.  The food is spectacular, but it's definitely a place only for very special occasions.

Dreaming is definitely allowed and encouraged.      Great idea tablrock!
