A family-owned winery and award-winning events venue offering locally grown wines, tastings, and stunning views — within driving distance of Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Durham, and Boone.

Named for the historic bridge and tunnel that have welcomed generations across the property, the vineyard pairs serene views of the lake with a warm, hospitable spirit Larry first learned from his father on trips to Napa Valley.
