A little punk-folk. A little rock ’n’ roll. A Sunday afternoon with some edge.

The Loudes Duo brings their electric, original sound to the vineyard this Sunday, October 18, from 2–5 PM.

Think loud guitars, offbeat energy, and a little R.E.M. / Talking Heads spirit.

🎶 Music is free to enjoy

With the last of our grapes brought in and pressed, the 2026 harvest is officially complete! While this year's w**es are beginning their journey in the cellar, something equally special is taking shape in the kitchen.

Chefs Terri and Mallory are exploring ways to bring our grapes to the Harvest Table; celebrating their place not just in the glass, but in every course.

Join us for our Harvest Dinner on Friday, October 23, from 6-9 PM.

On Friday, October 23, we’re gathering after harvest for an intimate six-course dinner with Chef Terri Terrell and Chef Mallory Foster.

Terri and Mallory are bringing thoughtful, layered flavors we love: oysters with AFV grape mignonette, creamed grape leaves and caviar, grilled focaccia with charred grapes and goat cheese burrata, smoked catfish tamale with butternut squash gravy, stuffed quail, duck confit ragu, and a very intriguing giant cream puff + apple pie(ish) to finish.

The food menu is set. The w**es are where we’re still having some fun.
We’re digging through the cellar and tasting our way through library w**es, fortified w**es that have been aging patiently, and new releases fresh off the lees to build pairings worthy of what these chefs have created. Because when Terri and Mallory bring flavors like these, the w**e needs to show up, too.

Harvest is the culmination of months of work in the vineyard. This dinner is our chance to sit down afterward, share what the farm has given us, and enjoy it together.

We loved seeing our vineyard featured in this story about the return of the ASAP Farm Tour.

We’re grateful to ASAP, and to everyone who spent the weekend exploring and supporting farms across Western North Carolina.

The Farm Tour may be over, but your local farms are still here. Keep coming out, bringing friends, buying local, and supporting the people and places that make this community what it is.

And if you’re looking for a reason to come back this week, we’ve got a good one. This Friday, we’re staying open late for Friday Night Date Night, with Indian cuisine from Mëhfil on Wheels, live jazz from Folk in Jazz, and w**e among the vines.

Friday • open until 9 PM

Come hungry. Stay awhile.

After a hiatus following Helene, Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project’s farm tour returned, giving WNC residents the chance to visit 18 local farms and connect with farmers.

Today, our family said goodbye to Edwin Van “Eddie” Frisbee.

It is difficult to know how to put into words what Eddie means to Addison Farms, because his presence is quite literally everywhere we look.

Eddie was always enthusiastic about what we were building here, even if he never became much of a w**e drinker himself. He would taste what we made, then tell us with a grin that we had “ruined perfectly good grape juice.” That sums up how he showed up for the people he loved.

Today, the farm feels different.

We will see Eddie in the vineyard rows he helped establish, in the buildings he helped raise, in old tractors and well-used tools, and in countless stories that will be told around tables for years to come.

There is a saying that grief is love with nowhere to go. There is an awful lot of love looking for somewhere to go today.

We love you, Eddie.
