Stone Ashe Vineyards

Hendersonville, North Carolina (2,700 feet elevation)

In the heights of North Carolina, Stone Ashe Vineyard is a family-run, estate-grown and -bottled winery that grows Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Verdot, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Sémillon. In 2010, Craig and Tina Little sought a site “commiserate to that of a French vineyard,” according to Craig’s son Heath Little.

In 2022, Stone Ashe was named one of USA Today’s 10 best new wineries of 2022. Per Heath, “People think North Carolina just grows muscadine,” a hybrid, but Stone Ashe is proving vinifera excels here, too.
