Until Joe and Joyce Neely purchased the property, RayLen Vineyards & Winery functioned as a dairy farm for nearly a century. Today, the rolling hills and winding drive romance our guests as they drive through 35,000 European-varietal grape vines. The distinctive cupola roof top of RayLen Vineyards & Winery is a beacon for the southern portion of the Yadkin Valley Appellation. Travelers from the highway and wanderers from the surrounding country roads are drawn to the tasting room to discover a new experience. Loyal customers return for the lush vista and a reliable favorite of vintner Steve Shepard's award-winning wines.
RayLen has some of the best wines in our area. They average on the sweet side, which we like. We've been multiple times and the people are always so nice. It's a great place to relax and it has lots of covered outdoor seating. If you like their wine as much as we do, join their "case club" and you'll receive extra perks for purchasing a case.

An Intro Flight Lesson with an FAA Certified Flight Instructor is the best way to taste the exhilaration of powered hang gliding or "trike" flying. Intro flight lessons are aimed at letting you experience the feel of flying. We'll teach you the basics of powered hang gliding during your flight, and you'll leave not only with some real "hands-on" piloting time, but memories you'll never forget.
Todd Halver at Papa Tango Aviation gave me a great introduction to powered hang gliding. Both his joy of flying and his concern for safety were obvious throughout the introductory flight. Starting with the pre-flight inspection of the powered hang glider--what Todd called a trike--it was clear Todd knows his stuff. He explained how the trike operates and how the pilot controls it, While small is size, it is a real aircraft. Before we took off he previewed the flight for me, explaining what we would be doing. But that didn't really prepare me for the actual experience of take-off and flight...it was much more than I expected! The views were amazing. After flying for a while to give me a feel of the trike Todd explained how the controls worked, and I had the opportunity to do some straight flight and several turns. His instructions were clear and encouraging Steering is not as physically demanding as I thought it would be, but I quickly realized it requires skill to do well. Needless to say I left the landing up to Todd...and it was as smooth as any commercial flight I've been on.
I now understand the appeal of this kind of flying. I imagine it is similar to what pilots experienced in the early years of flying. Wonderful!

Took at trip to the park to take pictures of Cooleemee Falls. What a view! After parking in the lot, walk down a trail for a short distance. You can hear the Falls before you can see them. The trail ends up at the river, then look to your left. Wow! There is a large rock face that runs down into the river. Be careful it could be slipper. There is a nice beach area for sunbathing. Swimming is at your own risk. (The rocks are slippery and the water fast moving). Great for photos. There is a restroom near the parking lot and a picnic area. Good for a day trip.

This 1,200-acre park was once the estate of William Neal Reynolds, brother of tobacco businessman R.J. Reynolds. The Reynolds willed the Tanglewood property to the citizens of Forsyth County to share as a public recreational park. The combination of its streams, woodlands, and grassy pastures with the traditions of its architecture, horses, gardening, and wide range of recreational activities make Tanglewood an ideal countryside park to visit over and over again.
Our tour company brings a motorcoach group to the Tanglewood Festival of Lights every holiday season. This event never disappoints. Our group always enjoys the event. The traffic is very reasonable on a weekday, the lights are well done and always creates excitement as we drive through with 45 people on our motorcoach. Highly recommend this attraction for groups and families.

We go here at least twice a month. There is plenty of room to grill out and have a picnic. There is even some nice playground equipment for younger children. While the walking trails are not exceptionally long, they are clear and offer a nice walk through the woods.

This winery has a nice outdoor seating area. The people are very friendly. The wine tasting is expensive compared to other winery's but they do have more wine to taste then soem winery's do.

I happened to be in the area of this vineyard/winery on Saturday and since they just opened at the end of 2013, are fairly new and not listed in the NC Wine Guide as yet, but I had read an
article about them and wanted to check it out.
They currently have 6 wines offered and are dry to very dry. They have an apple wine that was
a bit sweet, but if you are looking just for sweet wines or muscadines, this is not your place.
I normally do not care for the more dry wines, but these were good, Damn Yankee, being their
most popular.
If you are on your way to the Yadkin Valley wineries, Lazy Elm is worth a visit. I'm not sure if
they have set hours for tastings yet so I would call before.

Premium semi-sweet muscadine wine made only with grapes grown organically in our own vineyard. The vineyard began as the retirement project of John and Claudia Ellis, a movie studio musician/oboe teacher and a Peruvian Paso horse enthusiast. Now it's a family operation with 2 of their 6 children and their spouses joining them in their venture, along with many other family members support. Overlooking 50 acres of rolling hills and horses grazing in the pasture, they invite you to sit on their front porch, sip wine and stay awhile.
Saw this new local winery advertized as part of the Yadkin Valley Appellation and had to check it out. It was wonderful. Our server was very knowledgeable and selection of the three wines was amazing. We especially loved the Legado-pure noble! We will definitely be back for more!
