Hillsides and Grapevines: Touring the Elkin, NC in a Toyota Highlander - Landscape in Style
GlobeNewswire - Fri May 08, 4:01PM CDT
Elkin, NC sure has a lot going on, making it one of the best small towns in the state to explore on a sunny weekend. With things such as the Foothills Arts Council, the Yadkin Valley Craft Guild, and Reeves Theater Restoration, Elkin creates a sort of big city culture in a small city atmosphere--and let's not leave out one of the best dealerships in North Carolina, Mount Airy Toyota Scion, located in the heart of the Yadkin Valley. The area's most attractive aspect however, is its landscape. Its rolling hills and picturesque wooded hillsides seem to go on forever, and are a great way to spend a pretty Spring Saturday away from the hustle and bustle of nearby city living. Recently my family and I spent just such a Saturday touring the renowned Elkin viticulture. It turns out that those beautiful hills produce some finely rich soil. And combined with the moderate North Carolina climate, this area is prime for grape growing--as a matter of fact, the local tobacco fields have been slowly turning into wineries, offering tours and tastings to thousands weekly. The best way to navigate this mountainous country is in a Toyota Highlander.
