Linville Falls Winery

Jack’s passion for cultivating and harvesting trees paved the way for him to do the same with his vineyard. At 80 years old, he opened Linville Falls Winery. Now, he has the joy of sharing the love of growing, hard work, and good wine with his ever-growing family

Jack always longed to return home to the Blue Ridge Mountains. After marrying the love of his life, JoAnn, having three children, and running a successful janitorial business in Charlotte, NC, he took a chance and moved back to the mountains he loved with a vision in his heart. In 1962, Jack planted his first crop of Fraser Fir Christmas Trees. Now, there are over a million trees in production, and growing Fraser Fir trees has become the livelihood of many people in the High Country.
