Nestled in the foothills of the North Carolina mountains is a vineyard reminiscent of a French Hillside Vineyard. Located on the historic Brewer Mill site, overlooking the Roaring River is the Chez Josephine Restaurant. Enjoy the scenic river views from a cantilevered three-story high covered porch, while sipping a delicious glass of wine, and listening to the sounds of the Roaring River as it flows by. Our diners enjoy dining at our vineyard restaurant. We also have vacation rentals, event venues, and an RV park and are Harvest Hosts. We are close to Stone Mountain State Park, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and many other vineyards, distilleries, and breweries. Our vineyard has become a tourist destination and has been featured on NC Weekend programs, various magazines, and publications. In our backyard yet away from it all!

The Beacon Butcher Bar is a labor of love from Tina Houston, owner of Reid’s Café & Catering Co., established here in the High Country since 1999. The Beacon is located in the heart of Boone, NC adjacent to the iconic Water Wheel. Just as we value beautiful ingredients in our catering, The Beacon adheres to a similar message. In the kitchen, we value the fashion from scratch details as small as the aiolis and dressings we use, to the housemade desserts and pastries, cured and smoked meats, and naturally fermented pickles. Behind the bar, we strive for innovation and discovery from our unique and inspiring cocktails. We work within the seasons of the Blue Ridge to present a deliberate and thoughtful menu. We love the intentional, the specific, the well-cared-for. Respectively, our market offers a unique selection of local goods and treats. From our featured cloister honey to housemade single origin chocolates, we present the craft and exceptionality of local, artisanal talent.

We’re 1,640 ft. closer to heaven.Growing grapes at a higher altitude affect our vines and wines in wonderful ways. At 1,640 ft above sea level, the climate ripens grapes slowly and evenly while the rocky soil infuses the wine with a flavorful aroma of minerality. Our complex soils encase our vine roots giving our wines a unique expression of mountain terroir.We specialize in crafting Bordeaux varietals, including cabernet sauvignon, merlot, red blends and sauvignon blanc. We are passionate about winemaking, using a blend of old world European techniques and modern technology to influence our wines.100% estate-grown. 100% hand-picked. 100% hand-crafted. 100% of the time.Grapes picked by hand. Wine made by hand. We grow all of our grapes on our estate and handpick the harvest at nearly freezing temperature in the early morning, ensuring only weathered-cooled grapes make it down the hill to the winery.

Awesome place, great vibe. Charred caesar was the best salad we’ve ever had! Loved the special (8oz filet) and also enjoyed the assortment of bread for oil and vinegar. The pesto pizza was spectacular and big enough to take some home. Would recommend for s fun date night and awesome bar if you want to stop in just for a drink.
