The Tatums, Steve Sally, have achieved a reality that started as a dream in 2003 when they planted their first grapevines as a hobby. Since then their adventure has grown into Grandfather Vineyard and Winery, the first producing winery in Watauga County.
Grandfather Vineyard & Winery was founded in the spring of 2003 when owner Steve Tatum planted the first vine. Starting as a hobby, Steve did some home wine making for a few years. After son Dylan Tatum graduated from Surry Community College, the family decided they wanted to open a commercial winery. They opened the doors to the winery in May of 2011, offering world class wines.
