With a shared vision in 2010, Craig and Tina Little started to imagine an estate vineyard similar to those of the great growing regions of France. So began their story to pursue a second lifelong passion: grape growing and winemaking. After successful primary careers in dentistry, they turned their attention to finding the correct vineyard site. As part of our evolution, the vineyard is becoming a family affair, and we invite you to stop by and become part of our story as we continue our strive for innovation and devotion throughout this exciting journey.

Undeterred during their three year search for an ideal site, Craig and Tina discovered an area rich in 'stony ashe' soil providing internal drainage, steep slopes for high-density planting and external irrigation, and a micro-climate suited for efficient photosynthesis and elegantly balanced fruit.

Dedicated to showcasing our land and the entirety of the North Carolina region as a thriving viticulture area, we invite you to the intersection of elegance, complexity, and finesse at Stone Ashe Vineyard.
