Treehouse Vineyards in located in Monroe, North Carolina, one place I never would have thought had a vineyard. However, they have a small vineyard and winery nestled in the Monroe area neighborhood.
We arrived shortly after 12:00pm on a Thursday afternoon and decided to take a peak of the property, as well as one of the Treehouse's before the next tasting at 1:00pm. All tasting start at the top of the hour. On a chilly day sitting in a treehouse was such a unique experience. I can imagine how beautiful it would be at night or even in the spring when the vineyards are in full bloom.
We ventured inside around 12:45 to take a look at their wines, as well as the other items in the market/store.
At promptly 1:00pm the tasting began. The tasting included 4 Viniferous wines and 8 Muscadine wines. Throughout the tasting you learn the history around the name of each of their wines and the background of Treehouse and the owners. It made the tasting very enjoyable.
Having never heard of 'Muscadine' I can say I am not a fan. There is nothing wrong with it, just not my taste. Very sweet. 'Date Night' definitely has a great story behind it so that was probably my favorite. However I preferred the 'Just One More Thing' and 'Her Way' Viniferous Wines, more my taste.
Overall Treehouse is worth a visit if you are in the area, but keep in mind they focus on Muscadine, which is sweet, so you may be limited to finding something you like.
