Lu Mil Vineyard

Lu Mil Vineyard sits on the family farm site of the late Lucille and Miller Taylor in Dublin, NC. The Taylor family has been a leader in agricultural equipment development for many years, using their farm as a testing ground for innovative machinery. The vineyard was established to test new equipment for the viticulture industry and has grown to over 58 acres in the last five years. The first estate wines were produced from the 2005 Muscadine grape harvest, and the vineyard's Gift Shop and Tasting Room opened in December 2005. Over the years, the vineyard has expanded its offerings to include a variety of wines, jellies, jams, alcohol-free wines, ciders, sauces, syrup, and grape seed extract pills.

The vineyard focuses on cultivating Muscadine grapes, a variety well-suited to the region's climate. The Taylor family's background in agricultural innovation suggests a commitment to efficient and effective farming practices, though specific methods are not detailed in the description.

Lu Mil Vineyard is a family-friendly, multi-use facility offering various event spaces, including The Barrel Room and Creekside, which can accommodate up to 550 guests. The vineyard also provides overnight accommodations in The Taylor House and Vineyard Cabins, which offer scenic views and modern amenities. Visitors can enjoy activities such as wine tasting, educational tours, U-Pick Muscadine grapes during harvest season, and pedal karts. The gift shop is open daily for free wine tastings, and the vineyard hosts a variety of events throughout the year.
