Vesuvius Vineyards

Vesuvius Vineyards is a historic vineyard estate and event venue set on more than 700 acres of private property in Iron Station, North Carolina, about 30 minutes from Charlotte. The property centers on a home built in 1792 by General Joseph Graham — the oldest standing home in Lincoln County — a historically registered landmark that has welcomed weddings and special events since 2009. The open-air arbor overlooks the property's stream and surrounding grounds, serving as the primary reception space for up to 200 guests. The arbor can be enclosed and heated for winter events, and the property offers multiple outdoor ceremony locations along with an open-air chapel available as a covered backup. Guests have room to explore the grounds, strolling alongside the creek and across the covered bridge. For weddings, the upstairs of the home includes a grooms room and a bridal suite with two rooms for hair and makeup and a private bathroom. Beyond weddings, the venue hosts holiday parties, birthday celebrations, showers, anniversary gatherings, vow renewals, corporate events, and fundraisers.
