Welcome to Daveste´ Vineyards Tasting Room
and Art Gallery

Daveste’ Vineyards is proud to be the first winery in Iredell County, North Carolina.  We're conveniently located about 35 miles north of Charlotte, NC and near the intersection of I-40 and I-77.  Our winery annually produces 1,000 cases of wine, including both dry and semi-sweet red and white wines.  While offering some traditional favorites like Merlot and Chardonnay, wine lovers are enjoying our Chambourcin and Viognier.  And some of our wines are further distinguished by being produced from varietals rarely grown in North Carolina, including Malbec and Rkatsiteli. 


Owner Ester DeFehr and Tasting Room Manager Stevie Frye welcome visitors at the tasting room.

Daveste’ Vineyards' vision is to offer preferred premium wines to wine enthusiasts from around the world.  You'll find our pastoral setting is an inviting backdrop for respite from a busy day or travel schedule.  

Our rustic, timber frame-style tasting room is open year-round.  Our tasting room also serves as an art gallery displaying artwork by local North Carolina artists who meet each week at the vineyard. We invite you to visit us soon to enjoy the company of good friends, friendly staff, fine art and, of course, quality wines.  Our tasting room and grounds are available for special events; contact 704-528-3882 for more information.
