Winery
I love all of their wines, but their Sangiovese is my favorite of all wines in North Carolina. Raffaldini doesn't allow anyone under 21, so if you are a Family staying at Bramabella, you are better served heading straight for Piccione right next door.

Parks & Hiking
Cub Creek Park is an excellent place for mountain-biking, hiking, trout fishing and pickleball/tennis as well as a great place to take the kids with the new playground added. It was just recently included as part of the 'Mountain Heritage Trout Waters' in the state of North Carolina and is hatchery supported. So in layman's term - it is a great place to fish and hang with the Family. Plus, it is only a 10 minute drive from Bramabella!
