Owners and Vintners, Greg Hutchins and Donna Carlyle Hutchins, established the vineyard in the spring of 2003—planting one acre of Chardonnay and one acre of Merlot. The next year, three additional acres were added, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and more Chardonnay.

With the focus at Cellar 4201 being on producing quality fruit through extensive pruning, we plan to remain a limited-case producton vineyard with the majority of sales of our hand-crafted wines occuring in the tasting room. This will allow people to come visit, see the gorgeous vineyards and enjoy some wonderfully unique wines. We think that personal touch carries over into our wines.

After traveling to Italy, Donna developed a passion for Sangiovese. While admitting it is difficult to grow, it is currently our signature wine.

Cellar 4201 is part of the new Yadkin River Wine Trail. We encourage you to take the trolley that makes stops all day at the participating wineries along the trail. So sit back and relax while you enjoy a day of beautiful scenery and great wine!

Greg and Donna share responsibilities as owners/vintners. Greg handles vineyard management and sales and Donna is responsible for marketing, sales and hands-on vineyard duties. Both are members of the American Wine Society, the N.C. Winegrowers Association, subscribe to Wine Spectator and Wine Business Monthly, attend various industry trade shows and wine tastings and are members of the Yadkin County Chamber of Commerce.

We invite you to visit our tasting room and sample our unique wines. We’re opening our tasting room on May 23, 2009. Come join us for the party from Noon to 6:00 pm! After that, the hours will be Friday from 1–6 pm, Saturday from 12–6 pm, Sunday from 12–6 pm, Monday from 12–6 pm and by appointment. Small groups for private parties are welcome as well.
