The Vineyard Story

When the 1889 Centennial was held in Fayetteville, North Carolina, not far from where you are sitting was located the largest vineyard east of the Rocky Mountains. November that year, The Fayetteville Observer depicted the estate as "situated on an undulating table" on the Cape Fear River with "upward of 100 acres in bearing vines...kept as neat and trim as a lady's flower garden. It is simply a thing of beauty," wrote The Observer, "utility being left out of the account, well worth a day's journey to behold." The wines aging in those cellars were said to resemble the fine Spanish and Madeira wines, many of which are found on The Vineyard's wine list today.

The vintner, a prominent farmer, writer, and Congressman, opened his home as a center of hospitality, where guests were always welcome. Although the estate burned down in 1961, that spirit of hospitality lives on in The Vineyard Intimate Dining restaurant. For over a century, family and friends have gathered around the table for good food and wine in Fayetteville's own vineyard. Today we proudly carry on that same tradition: great food, friends, and of course excellent wines, paired specifically for the entrée selections. Our wine list features fine imported wines from Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Chile, Argentina, Australia, and South Africa, as well as some of the finest domestic wines from California, Washington, and of course, North Carolina. We trust you will enjoy your intimate dining experience at The Vineyard. If we can do anything to make your visit more meaningful, please don't hesitate to ask.
