- Not far from the Virginia line, Preston and Clara Williams offer a small family-run oasis with acres of green vineyards, sweet wine, and plenty of quiet, except when it's not quiet, because they're having a party and everyone is invited.

Come along with me and my friend Kenia Thompson for a visit to Seven Springs Farm and Vineyard in Norlina.

♪ - The first thing I would say is, it is a peaceful place.

And the Williams family own it.

Preston, Clara, Preston III, Cornelius, and Jamal Williams.

We are the proud owners.

- We have Seven Springs actually on the property.

And we also know what seven means biblically.

It means completion.

We have water sourced from those springs to help with the vines and also with our pond that we have.

So it's very tranquil.

- Preston, this is fabulous.

So how many acres and what kinds of grapes?

- Well, the farm has 140 acres.

We have about five acres of muscadine grapes.

We have 13 different varietals.

And four we use for our wine production.

The primary function was to have a vineyard.

And as you can see, the vineyard and the wine, the tasting room go hand in hand.

- Hey, ladies, how are you all?

Welcome to Seven Springs Farm and Vineyard.

This is our tasting room.

And my name is Jamal.

And I'll be serving your wine this afternoon.

So you're going to taste a total of eight wines.

You're going to start off with four dries and then four sweets.

- With a flight of eight wines, the tasting at Seven Springs is definitely a journey.

- So the first one you're going to have is going to be our chardonnay.

Ready for your pour?

- I am.

- Right there.

- OK.

- I think generosity is important.

- It is.

So this is our chardonnay.

As you see here, it has a golden white color there.

- It's beautiful.

- Chardonnay here, it's Asian steel.

It has an apple.

- So you've done this before.

- Yeah, she's swirling already.

- I know.

So what does the swirling do?

- It opens up the wine, where you can smell all the aromas of the wine.

You really appreciate it more to your palate and your senses.

So that one's Asian steel.

- At Seven Springs, they've created some 14 different wines, from white chardonnays and red cabernets to fruit varietals like apple and peach.

Right in the tasting room, you'll find the range of wines available, as well as other goodies from the farm and merchandise.

- This is one of our shirts we make here.

It has our Seven Springs logo on it.

- Who's responsible for the logo?

- Oh, well, actually, my wife and I, we make the merchandise.

- I love it.

So everything you see here, we actually make ourselves.

So we've got some magnets here, hats.

We've got some tumblers right here.

- Fresh from the Seven Springs vineyard, you'll find items like their bourbon blueberry jam, hot and mild chow chow, peach salsa, moonshine pickles, and more.

For those who may want to stay overnight on the vineyard, Seven Springs offers on-site vacation rentals to accommodate single guests and families.

- What we realized, too, the competitive nature of wine.

So what we did, we decided to do entertainment.

- The vineyard is perfect for these outdoor events.

And they also have an indoor event center.

Works great for celebrations and gatherings.

- It's just a good vibe.

It's adult.

Everybody's mature.

The owners are really nice.

They pretty much-- the space just kind of keeps evolving.

And it's just always a good time.

- I like the different types of events that they have.

I like that it's just people mixing and mingling.

I like the food trucks.

We've purchased their wines.

We've always had a good time here.

And we hope to come back again after today, too.

- One of my favorite sayings is a good time all the time.

- And for me and Kenia, Seven Springs Farm and Vineyard was indeed a good time.

- Seven Springs Farm and Vineyard is at 332 Axtell Ridgeway Road in Norlina.

And their tasting room and guided tours are open daily except Tuesdays.
