After extensively researching the land it was discovered that this location was prime to grow grapes based not only on geography but based on the rich "alluvial plain soil" this location is blessed with. At 1832 feet above sea level, with a cool mountain breeze, and rich and unique soils, it was decided the land was the perfect place to produce the highest quality wine.

Therefore, Bear Claw Vineyards was created on the foundation of top quality wine and a soothing and relaxing aesthetic.

To share the beauty of the land with others seeking rest, relaxation, and restoration the Treehouse Guys from the DIY network came out and built a treehouse on the property. With guests continuing to revisit the treehouse every year as a nightly rental.

If you are in the area, come on by.
We would love for you to enjoy the beauty of Blue Ridge and our delicious and re-freshening wine.

FREE LIVE MUSIC YEAR AROUND on Fridays, Saturday's and Sundays.
