Childress Vineyards is one of the most prominent wineries in North Carolina’s re-emerging wine industry that has grown from 21 to more than 100 wineries since the year 2000.<\/p>\n
Childress Vineyards features over\u00a070 acres of vineyards and 15\u00a0varieties of European Vitis vinifera cultivars at two vineyards sites: Richard\u2019s Hampton Road Estate in Davidson County and Vineyard Crossing at the winery site. The terroir, with its combination of humid climate, long growing season and gravely, red clay soil are the key natural features of Childress Vineyards, producing a broad range of over 30 wines to appeal to both the introductory palate and the seasoned taster.<\/p>\n
From the selection of the grapes to the care in winemaking, Childress Vineyards takes meticulous steps to bring world-class wines to the market. Those efforts have paid off in competitions from New York to California in which Childress Vineyards wines have won numerous gold medals since opening in 2004, including Double Gold, Concordance Gold and Best of Show honors for wines produced in every category. Total medal count in the years of operation has exceeded 750, including NC Governor\u2019s Cup awards, acknowledging Childress Vineyards as the premier vintner in the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"amenity":[1956,666,230,159,167,860,803],"wine_style":[919,920,953,1532,195,1531],"experiences":[2651,2679,2680],"class_list":["post-14894","winery","type-winery","status-publish","hentry","amenity-beautiful-views","amenity-great-service","amenity-great-views","amenity-picnic-area","amenity-restaurant","amenity-vineyard-views","amenity-wine-tastings","wine_style-dry-red-wines","wine_style-dry-white-wines","wine_style-fruit-wines","wine_style-red-wines","wine_style-rose","wine_style-white-wines","grapes-cabernet-franc","grapes-cabernet-sauvignon","grapes-riesling","grapes-sangiovese","destinations-north-carolina","destinations-yadkin-valley","regions-north-carolina","regions-yadkin-valley","experiences-luxury","experiences-wine-tastings","experiences-wine-tours"],"acf":{"featured":false,"featured_order":"","content_title":"Winery in Lexington, North Carolina","logo":false,"website_url":"https:\/\/childressvineyards.com\/","established_year":"2004","head_wine_maker":"Richard Childress","hours_of_operation":"","yelp_id":"childress-vineyards-lexington","contact_name":"","phone_number":"(336) 236-9463","email_address":"","region":{"ID":7626,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2019-05-18 19:09:10","post_date_gmt":"2019-05-18 19:09:10","post_content":"","post_title":"Yadkin Valley","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"draft","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"yadkin-valley","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-08-23 22:04:27","post_modified_gmt":"2022-08-24 02:04:27","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/?post_type=wine_region&p=7626","menu_order":0,"post_type":"wine_region","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"sub_region":false,"address_1":"1000 Childress Vineyards Rd.","address_2":"","country":{"ID":418,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2017-10-30 21:41:59","post_date_gmt":"2017-10-30 21:41:59","post_content":"","post_title":"United States","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"united-states","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2017-10-30 21:41:59","post_modified_gmt":"2017-10-30 21:41:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/?post_type=country&p=418","menu_order":0,"post_type":"country","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"state":{"ID":7627,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2019-05-18 19:10:48","post_date_gmt":"2019-05-18 19:10:48","post_content":"","post_title":"North Carolina","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"north-carolina","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-05-18 19:10:48","post_modified_gmt":"2019-05-18 19:10:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/?post_type=state&p=7627","menu_order":0,"post_type":"state","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"city":"Lexington","postal_code":"27293","lat":"36.5691782","lng":"-84.2733761","place_id":"ChIJ1wo5EoyXU4gRq8di5cq6z4k","tasting_details":"Wine Flights \u2013 Offered Daily 10am \u2013 4:30pm<\/strong>
