One of my favorite places to visit is Grandfather Vineyard & Winery . Sitting next to the river, listening to the live music, snacking from the food trucks and sipping either a flight of wine or a bottle of French Colombard wine. They are now OPEN! Go support the local businesses, they need the support.

We are so thankful to be open!! Head down Aldridge Rd off of 105 and you’ll be directed into our parking lot and down to our Tasting Room. Just a reminder that parts of our property are still under construction from the hurricane, however, we’ve got glasses and bottles waiting for you! Live music by Edward Main from 2-5pm, accompanied by Carolina Food Monger Food Truck from 12-5pm.
We cannot wait to see you!❤️‍🩹

I saw this posted in another group so I thought I would share. I was actually happy to see the video as it looked much better then I thought it would. Here is a copy of the post (By Jonathan Wilson )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoQV7T8wpzII spent all day yesterday (october 1st) on Beech after getting the Carolina Stays tractor, 100 gallons of fuel dropped off & getting a home wired for a generator plug-in.I did multiple aerial inspections and also took a quick 4 minute video of the town which I will include here.Here are my impressions:1. There isn't as much home damage as maybe people thing. I observed lots of light roof damage, missing chimney caps, etc but not many catastrophically damaged homes (although there are some & if this is you I am so sorry).2. Water damage is everywhere, but the lee of the mountain (out of the wind) fared much better than the sides exposed to wind. The tree loss where there was wind is horrific.3. Infrastructure recovery will take a very long time. Beech is made up of mostly gravel roads on slopes. Those roads are very eroded and very damaged. There are multiple spots where creeks now flow over the road instead of under it. The mountain is not driveable by anything less than a high-clearance 4x4 truck or SUV. Even my RAM struggled in spots. When I return Thursday I will be bringing a UTV, that is what is optimal to move around in right now.There are multiple widow-maker trees hanging over roads supported by wire or other dodgy looking trees. The mountain is still shedding a lot of water so trees will continue to fall. These are massive giants suspended over the road horizontally & will require professionals to remove. I wasn't touching them with my little Stihl.4. Electricity is already being restored in Banner Elk. I expect it will be restored up the parkway quicker than people think. However, once you get off the parkway it is going to take a very long time. It was rare to see a utility pole that was not snapped in half or leaning 30+ degrees. You're looking at a complete rewiring of the mountain that can't really even start until the roads are passable (see paragraph 3).5. Connectivity is already being restored in Banner Elk. I had decent cell service there. On the top of Beech I could get 1 bar sitting in the parking lot behind Brick Oven (Shout out to them! I've got your drone shots!). I could get text messages out, but it generally took 3-4 tries. On the very top of the mountain it was better & I even got 3 bars of 5g.I will continue to be on the mountain conducting inspections Thursday & Friday (this time better equipped with my ranger)
