The winery is not your typical winery with a vineyard, it is located in downtown Concord in a cute cozy store. There is parking along the street in front of the store as well as a public parking deck right around the corner. I will definitely be back to try the slushie wine and other wine flavors I was not able to try. Check Groupon-there's almost always a deal going on!

Wonderful location to get away but no too far. Couples or just bring friends this stop is the always location. Sit in front of the fire pit or just walk the vineyards with your bottle and glasses in hand. Wide variety from the sweet to the Muscadine.

Very good selection of wine and good selection of craft beers for sale or on tap - rotates taps regularly and rotates wine tastings. Owner is very good at keeping abreast of local and regional craft beer, as well as having good depth of wine knowledge. Prices are very fair for what you get. Side note is that the place is comfy and the owner is very embedded in the area - knows locals, the food scene, etc. Even if you don't drink beer, the wine and the information is excellent. If you drink beer and wine, don't miss out on this place.

When you arrive, you get in line to order then hope there is a table or booth available, or maybe outdoor seating, since they are usually busy finding a seat may be tough. You get a number then your food is brought to on a tray lined with butcher paper. They tables have four kinds of sauce, sweet bbq, vinegar based, mustard sauce and a very spicy sauce.

From April to October each year, we make believe we’re Conrad Reed, cross our fingers and sift through silt from Little Meadow Creek searching for a fleck. Even when there’s no jackpot, touring the underground mine at the site of America’s first discovery of gold is pretty rich.

Size wise - not too big, not too small - could easily get crowded. IT's considered a private club, so you pay a $1 lifetime membership fee and simply check in with your phone number for future visits. The layout is well done - to your right is a small bar that offers liquor drinks and has a variety of craft beers. We had Sycamore tall boys for $6 each. The left wall is mostly pinball machines and the right side arcade games. Pinballs are 50 cents for 3 balls and most arcade games are 25 cents. All the pinball machines appear to be new and the selection is pretty primo.
