Laurel Gray Vineyards

Open: Year Round

History

My ancestors came to the beautiful Yadkin Valley in 1773 from London, England and settled less than 8 miles from where our vineyards are now. For 10 generations the Myers have remained in this valley, farming the land and preserving it's beauty.

Kim and I met in October 1975 on a blind date to the Dixie Classic Fair. After only a short time we both knew that we had found our soul mate for life. We were married on New Year's Eve 1977, exactly two hundred years to the day since the first Myers was born on American soil. (We were not aware of this until many years later.)

I followed in my father and grandfathers footprints and worked for RJ Reynolds Tobacco Co. while farming on the side. Kim pursued a career in advertising and graphic art. Our marriage was blessed with two beautiful children, first a daughter, Ashley Laurel, and then a son, Taylor Gray.
