Morganton’s greenway is a wonderful stretch of paved walking/biking trail that runs along the river for several miles. It passes through shady and sunny areas, with gently curves and slight rises that make for an interesting stroll. There are several different places to park and gain access to the trail, most of which are also near playgrounds or shopping areas, and all of them are free. It was one of the many amenities that drew us to the community, and it is well used by all ages - safe and fun!

My sister and I visited the winery in early July. We taste tested all their amazing wines while enjoying the most beautiful view. We stopped by again on a Saturday night and enjoyed a bottle of “Nonsense” and enjoyed the movie “Grease” on a large screen set up in the vineyard. It was the highlight of our vacation !!
