Uncork the Magic at Castello Barone
Nestled in the Swan Creek AVA of Ronda, NC—where the Blue Ridge foothills meet rolling vineyards—we’re a boutique, family-run estate built on faith, service and a love of great wine. As veterans and Christians, founders Scott and Elizabeth Barone infuse every bottle with purpose and pride. Drawing on their Italian and French roots, Scott and Elizabeth blend Old-World tradition with modern stewardship. Both are Court of Master Sommeliers Foundations-certified, and their passion for family extends even to Bacchus, the resident winery dog who welcomes every guest (canine or human) with a grateful kiss and a wagging tail. Our mission is simple: craft premium, hand-harvested wines that tread lightly on the land, educate and delight every visitor, and pour back into our local community—because here, you’re more than a guest, you’re family.
Meet Bacchus! Named after the Roman Wine God!
Family & Furry Friends Welcome!
Our serene vineyard setting is the perfect place to unwind with your loved ones, whether they walk on two legs or four. While you savor our handcrafted wines, you can also enjoy a delightful selection of local artisan meats and cheeses to complement your tasting experience. And for those who prefer hops to grapes, we have draft beer from Laconia Ale Works made exclusively for Castello Barone to quench your thirst. Come sip, savor, and relax in the heart of wine country, where everyone is welcome.
