Next Arboretum Event

NC Viticulture and Winery Tour (Hinnant Vineyard and Duplin Winery)

Wednesday, September 15, 2010
8:30 am-5:30 pm

Meet at Arboretum Mobile Unit

$25.00 (lunch on own at Duplin Winery)

Grapes were found growing in North America when the first explorers landed; in fact, there were some early discussions about calling this new country ‘Vine-land!’ Growing grapes and making wine has become one of North Carolina’s leading industries, especially as farmers move from tobacco as a cash crop to alternative markets. Join us as we visit two vineyards to see how grapes are grown, harvested, and produced (samples included).
