McRitchie Winery and Ciderworks is located just north of Elkin off Highway 21. We are less than 15 minutes out of town but it feels like worlds away. Our vineyard is minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Stone Mountain State Park and many other attractions. Enjoy a day in the mountains or visiting other local wineries. Better yet, bring a picnic and spend the afternoon with us. We’ve got picnic tables with your name on them.
