Troutman Vineyards

Andy and Deanna moved to the property in the fall of 1997 with plans to start a small, high-quality winery. Deanna, a marketing executive, and Andy, vineyard manager at Wolf Creek Vineyards, began planting vineyards in Wayne County in the Spring of 1998. After three seasons of very cooperative weather, the first crop was harvested in the Fall of 2000, with the winery debuting three wines from this first vintage the following summer.
