Buck Shoals Vineyard was started as a vision of
Terry and Joanne Crater. They began enjoying and collecting fine wines about 20 years ago.Terry particularly enjoyed the Italian wines with a special love of Amarone. This love of wines coupled with ownership of fine Yadkin County tobacco soil was the start of a vision which culminated in the creation of Buck Shoals Vineyards. The first planting of five and one half acres of nine grape varieties was done in April 2003, and as of 2006, the vineyard track now covers approximately 13 acres. Buck Shoals has room to grow, and another 32 acres is allocated for future expansion.
