Have a Sample at Lake Road Winery

Our program, brought to us by Maher, taught us a "Bunch" about wine, the type of grapes, and special blending that creates the tastiest wines. Mitchell Smith, brother of our own Manly Smith, shared information about his new winery called Lake Road Winery. After some history on wine, he noted that the first winery in North Carolina was opened by Paul Garrett in 1850. Mitch and his wife Suzy opend Lake Road in March, 2009. They use only fruits grown in North Carolina combining them to make unique blends. They name their wine based on the town of Newport, it's people, heritage, and spots of interest.

For a visit to the Winery, see Mitch and Suzy at Lake Road Winery, located at 1120 Lake Road in Newport and have a free taste.
