Gioia dell Amore is one of our newest, most favorite wineries in North Carolina! Laura and David are phenomenal! The wines are fantastic! Great hosts and facility! We cannot say enough positive about Gioia dell Amore! Much, much better than Childress! Cheers!

This weekend my wife and our best friends planned an overnight trip to Gioia dell'Amore Cellars at Autumn Creek Vineyards.During our stay, we had the pleasure to meet the owners, Laura and David. I never met two of the most friendly and delightful people. They were accommodating and made our stay one to remember.I highly recommend this business for an enjoyable getaway.Absolutely beautiful property and cabins.Rooms: Clean, large and updated.

My husband and I enjoyed walking the vineyard and other areas of this beautiful property. We also enjoyed a wonderful evening of wine tasting with Dave who was so knowledgeable and attentive that this turned out to be the best wine tasting we’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. His lovely wife and business partner Laura also made a couple of appearances. Mind you, this was while they hosted a wedding on the property which appeared to go off with out a hitch! Absolutely beautiful venue for a wedding! We were so grateful they were willing to see us and treated us with nothing but the absolute best in hospitality.Since I don’t drink, Dave shared some of their grape juice. All I can say is wow - SO MUCH BETTER THAN WELCHES ?. My husband enjoyed the best white wine he’s ever tasted and loved the reds as well! ?Dave shared with us the origins of the company and Laura shared some funny stories they’ve had since the inception of Gioia dell’Amore (I’m thinking of you Mark Swan! ??). They were both so very enjoyable and really made our evening such a pleasant one!We found this establishment on Harvest Host and are extremely grateful that after such a wonderful evening they allowed us to stay the night in their parking lot (we’re traveling in a converted Sprinter van ? and needed a place to lay our heads).I feel like I’m missing something ? and could really continue going on and on. But bottom line…We can’t wait to come back to see them! ?

This place is absolutely beautiful, the cabins were adorable with amazing views, and the owners were so friendly and helpful.On our first day at the vineyard, I found an injured owl and let the owners know. Not only did they do everything they could to rescue the owl, but they also went out of their way to keep me updated.We had such a wonderful experience all around.I would HIGHLY recommend Autumn Creek Vineyards for any occasion.

Our stay at Gioia dell'Amore Cellars at Autumn Creek Vineyards was quiet, peaceful, and filled with nature.David and Laura have done an exceptional job of creating a unique experience in the vineyard.The wine tasting room features leather oversized conversation seating areas. It's a warm space that's inviting. The signature truffles are rich and delicious. They offer a variety of wines and non-alcoholic varieties as well.The accommodations at the lodges were more than we expected. From the minimalistic, relaxing decor to the full-size kitchen, you will be pleased.The king-size bed sleeps well too. You awaken in the morning to a view of the beautiful sky, the woodline, and the Vinyard. You might see a deer or two.My Mister and I were pleased with this choice and plan to return. The vineyard is close to major cities, hiking trails, and waterfalls.Laura and David, thank you for creating a welcoming environment. Both of you go above and beyond; don't ever change. Keep Sprinkling Joy!PS: This is a good place to relax, recharge, and refresh. Cell service can be spotty at times, but who cares. It's good to unplug and get away.

This place is amazing! Not only did the new owners save the day for my daughter and her friends on this rainy homecoming day,they welcomed us and helped make sure we got the best pictures possible…and the moms got to enjoy a tasty wine slushy to top it off! We will definitely be back for our next school event, thank you for allowing some of your local High schoolers use your grounds and help make long lasting memories❤️
