Rock of Ages Winery and Vineyard

Ope: Year Round

Kevin Moore grew-up on the estate where Rock Of Ages Winery & Vineyard now sits. With an Economics degree from N. C. State University, Moore worked as a stockbroker, but later got into the import business. He then opened Hard Rock Marble & Tile in Hillsborough, NC, which he continues to operate with his wife, Kim. But a dream of producing wine led Moore to begin planting grapes. He obtained a degree from Surry Community College in Enology and Viticulture. Moore began construction on the winery in November 2005. He served as general contractor and laborer. In addition to all his other duties, he is the facility's winemaker.

Kim Moore grew-up in Person County, NC. She obtained an accounting degree at Elon College and began work as a financial analyst at Duke Hospital. After their third child was born, she joined her husband, Kevin, in business at Hard Rock Marble & Tile. She now has the added responsibilities of co-owning Rock of Ages Winery & Vineyard.
