LOCKLEAR VINEYARD & WINERY

Welcome to Charlie T Locklear Vineyard & Winery

Taste The Dream

Charlie T Locklear Vineyard & Winery, Inc. was formed November 2006. This has been a dream of my fathers for a better part of my adult life. As far back as I can remember my father has nurtured some type of fruit on the family farm that was passed to him by his father. He has made wine from the fruit grown on the farm for approximately 30 years. This knowledge was passed to him by his parents, the late John and Emily Locklear. My father explained that it was my grandmother that made the wine and my grandfather that harvested the grapes. As my father continued to work with his vines, he learned to root the few native vines he had with different varieties of cultivated Muscadine vines. My mothers' father was influential in this area and was a great help to my father as he rooted flowers and shrubs, this knowledge was easily transferred to the grape vine. These were valuable lessons that would come in handy later when the vineyard was planted.
