On our way back from our weekend trip to Harker's Island, we stopped at A Secret Garden Winery in Pikeville, NC. This is the smallest winery we've been to so far, as well as the youngest. The owner, Linda, opened the winery about two years ago. Wine Making used to be a hobby for her, but now it is her full-time job. It is obvious that she loves her work. She is committed to an organic wine-making process. All of the wines are fermented naturally and no sulfites are added.
Linda gave us a great behind the scene tour which included her own "secret garden", her coi pond, which she has had for 15 years. We got to taste 6 wines, including a sneak peak at her Falling Creek Peach, which was still in the barrel!
The wines are mostly very sweet and I would consider them all dessert wines. We bought a boottle of the Hush Hush Blush and the Golden Harvest.
