Euda Wine: A Fresh Take on Appalachian Winemaking in Downtown Old Fort
As downtown Old Fort continues to grow as a destination for outdoor adventure, local culture, and small-town hospitality, Euda Wine offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience Appalachian winemaking in a welcoming and approachable setting.
Located on Commerce Street in downtown Old Fort, Euda Wine is a boutique winery and tasting room focused on crafting wines from North Carolina-grown grapes. The result is a distinctly regional wine experience that celebrates the agricultural heritage of the state while introducing visitors to the diversity of wines being produced across North Carolina.
Founded by husband-and-wife team Michael and Abi McGeary, Euda Wine combines international winemaking expertise with a passion for community. Michael’s experience spans vineyards and wineries across multiple continents, while the couple’s vision for Euda centers on creating a place where people can gather, connect, and enjoy exceptional wines in a relaxed environment.
A Different Kind of Tasting Room
Visitors will quickly discover that Euda Wine is designed to be approachable. Whether you’re a longtime wine enthusiast or simply looking for a place to unwind after a day of exploring, the tasting room offers a comfortable atmosphere where everyone is welcome.
Guests can enjoy wine flights, glasses, and bottles featuring a rotating selection of wines made from North Carolina fruit. The lineup often includes sparkling wines, refreshing whites, rosés, and reds, providing something for a wide range of tastes and preferences.
In addition to wine, Euda offers cider, beer, and non-alcoholic options, making it an easy stop for groups and families looking for a relaxing place to gather.
The Perfect Stop After a Day Outdoors
Old Fort has become one of Western North Carolina’s premier outdoor recreation destinations, with easy access to mountain biking trails, hiking adventures, waterfalls, and Pisgah National Forest. Euda Wine provides a natural complement to those experiences.
After exploring Catawba Falls, riding the Gateway Trails, hiking Kitsuma Peak, or spending the day in Pisgah, visitors can settle into the tasting room and enjoy a slower pace while sampling wines that reflect the region’s growing agricultural and culinary scene.
