Stony Knoll Vineyards are lifted high on the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains against a Carolina sun that creates a bouquet of aromatic wonders and pleasures. The development of a "delivering terroir" began on this "North Carolina Century Farm" in 1896 when the ancestors of Kathy Coe bought a tract of land in southern Surry County. In the early 1940s the vineyard area was cleared with hand tools and domesticated animals and put into cultivation.

Tobacco production was the staple cash crop for many years. The importance of this staple crop caused the Coe lineage to care for the land at the utmost level. Hard work during sun drenched days and winter chilled climates prevailed in a terroir creation which has enabled this vineyard to produce fine quality wine grapes.

Stony Knoll Vineyard's first harvest took place in the fall of 2002. We have planted Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Syrah and all should be ready for our next harvest and available for purchase in 2004. You will then be able to purchase our wines from this website, local vendors, restaurants and our winery. Our Winery is open on Saturdays from 12 pm until 6 pm and on Sundays from 2 pm until 6 pm and during the week, private tastings are offered by appointment. The facility can be reserved for special events. For a private tasting or to reserve the events room, please call us at (336) 374-5752.

The historic town of Rockford is located four miles south of our Vineyard and Winery, next to the Yadkin River. You can see many historic landmarks and tour the Rockford General Store which is still in operation today. You can also relax and enjoy an entire evening in the historic town while staying at the Rockford Bed and Breakfast.
