About
Overmountain Vineyards is a boutique winery on a family-owned farm in the Tryon Foothills of North Carolina. Winemakers Frank Lilly and daughter Sofia craft distinctive French-style wines primarily from estate-grown vinifera grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Petit Manseng. They offer a year-round tasting room overlooking the foothills, vineyard events, food trucks, live music, villas, and a wine club.
