Davesté Vineyards of Mooresville

Davesté Vineyards is a winery in Mooresville, North Carolina. Serving the Lake Norman region, this boutique winery produces award-winning North Carolina wines and offers a variety of experiences including wine tastings, tours, live music, and special events. The property features a tasting room, an art gallery, an event pavilion, a microbrewery, and scenic walking trails with waterfalls.

The vineyard was established by owners Dave and Esté DeFehr, who began their journey in 2004 by planting the first vines on a 60-acre site in Troutman. Following their first harvest in 2007, the tasting room and art gallery opened in 2008. The estate has since expanded, adding an outdoor pavilion in 2012 and replacing the original winery with a new, state-of-the-art facility in 2022. In keeping with an artistic methodology, the winery features original work by North Carolina artists on its wine labels, and visitors can view various mediums such as watercolor, oil, and acrylic in the onsite art gallery.

Davesté Vineyards is recognized for its commitment to quality, earning prestigious honors such as the North Carolina “double gold” medal reserved for the state's best wines. The winery stands as a distinguished part of the local viticultural tradition, known for producing high-quality wines and maintaining a beautiful, manicured landscape for its guests.
