Who We Are
Report
Just down a country road life is at a slower pace. There are rocking chairs on the front porch and you can hear the wind blowing through the vines. Can you hear them? They're calling out to you. Iron Gate Vineyards are located in the Central Piedmont of North Carolina. Historically known for producing brightleaf tobacco grown on small family farms, we are continuing this tradition of farming the land.
Our Story
Report
I remember this farm as it looked in 1972 as I traveled by it every day on my way to work. In the summer I often saw the owners, Tom and Lucy Lynch sitting in the shade of the huge oak trees in the front yard. When Gene and I began the process of restoring this farm in 1997 our main goal was to make it a working farm.

Meet Artist, Kenny Glenn
Report
I have to give my husband Gene credit for suggesting Kenny Glenn as the artist for Iron Gate labels. Gene met Kenny way back in 1979. Gene owned a feed and seed store in Granville County. Kenny worked for IBM and was beginning his career as an artist. Kenny came by Gene's store, The Southern Planter, one day and showed some of his work depicting life on a tobacco farm.
Tips For Planning Your Visit
Report
Plan to spend around 30 to 60 minutes per winery to give yourself time to enjoy the tasting and the tour. For this reason, our last wine tasting of the day will begin no later than one hour prior to closing. Designate a Driver. You may be sampling quite a few different wines (generally about a 1/2 oz per serving), you'll want to designate a driver who will not be imbibing.
