The path leading back to the newly completed building allows a glimpse into the magnificent landscape that is Shannon Vineyards. The rolling path leads you through planted pine trees, past the farm pond, and right into the vineyard! As you drive past the Muscadine vines and the rolling branch its hard to believe that there is such a beautiful building tucked away here! And then you make your way around the final curve and you see it! The new facility at Shannon Vineyards is a true work of art. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with luscious grass and colorful shrubbery. The elevated terrace and the floor to ceiling glass windows draw you into the building and make it very difficult to leave. And you haven't even made it inside yet!
As you step into the massive Tasting Room you truly get a sense of how beautiful this building is. The room is lit by natural light that flows through the ceiling-high windows. This light gives a wonderful elegance to the hardwood walls and ceiling, which reaches 25 feet. Display cases that present the many products that Shannon Vineyards offers are set up around the walls of the tasting room.
From the tasting it can see where the good times are made. There is a glass wall that gives visual access to the wine making room. This room is a site to see with the numerous holding tanks that can store from 18,000 to 52,000 gallons of juice or wine. These tanks are used to make the juices that are sold in bulk and the juices that go on to make the delicious varieties of wine.
It may seem that the facilities at Shannon Vineyards couldn't have more to offer, but they do! To get to the conference room you walk out of the front of the tasting room and up the stairs to the elevated terrace. The terrace and conference room accompany each other and make for a great office retreat venue. While the outdoor terrace is well suited for wine tasting, dinner and socializing the, conference room provides a very laid back business environment perfect for meetings.
