Birthplace of Yadkin Valley Wine
Dobson sits at the center of North Carolina wine country. The town is home to Shelton Vineyards, the largest family-owned estate winery in the state, and to Surry Community College's viticulture and enology program, which trains the region's winemakers.
"The Yadkin Valley wine region was born here, and you can taste your way through it without ever leaving Surry County."
