Raffaldini Vineyards

The Raffaldini Family dates back to the year 1348 in the town of Mantua, in the Northern Province of Lombardy, Italy. Since this time, the Raffaldini Family has owned and continues to live on the farm where the great classical poet philosopher Virgil spent his youth. Over this time period, the Raffaldini Family has witnessed many historical events and has often marked these times with special family dinners and homemade Italian wine. This fusion of family, food and wine is also an integral part of the normal daily life. A decision was made by the Raffaldini Family to share their centuries old wine making experience with the new world. After a long and exhaustive search for the ideal location for a vineyard that reflects the family heritage and holds the promise for making truly classical wines, the Raffaldini Family settled in the Swan Creek region of the Yadkin Valley. It is on this vineyard that the Raffaldini Family handcrafts Italian wines that express not only their "sense of place" but also utilize the winemaking skills that have been continuously refined over the ages. We encourage you to explore our web site to learn more about the Raffaldini Family heritage and the Italian Style Vineyards and Winery now being created. Of course, there is no substitute for seeing with your own eyes this unique property. Our Tuscan-style tasting room is open Wednesday through Saturday, 11-5 pm, and Sunday, 1-5 pm and by appointment. And our new two-story Villa Raffaldini tasting room and event center will open in August of 2007! So please, feel free to visit us and discover what over six hundred and fifty years of history is now creating.
