	Our Vineyards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		To the East and South of the Yadkin Valley region (which comprises primarily Wilkes, Surry and Yadkin Counties), the growing season is longer but summer heat and humidity play a significant role in being able to harvest healthy grapes with sufficient sugars and good acids and pH.
		The Yadkin Valley is uniquely situated in North Carolina in that we have fertile soils with good drainage in an area that is neither too hot in the summer nor too cold in the winter.
		The oldest cliché in the wine business is that good wine is “made in the vineyard.” We truly believe this to be the case at Windy Gap and most of our focus is aimed at getting the best possible grapes in the best possible condition to the winery in perfect condition.
