The Lavis family provides a relaxing day of fun and learning with their family owned company, Vintage Treks.  Jim, Carol and Josh offer their in-depth knowledge of the North Carolina wine industry, its wines, wineries, and history as well as their insights on how the industry will grow in future years. 

Jim's and Carol's experience originated with owning a wine shop, Carolina Winesellers,  that specialized in the wines of North Carolina. From 2004 until 2007 they showcased more than 220 North Carolina wines from across the state representing more than 40 wineries. Their business partnerships with North Carolina winery owners and wine makers have prepared them to deliver informative wine tours throughout North Carolina's Yadkin Valley and beyond.

Josh brings an added benefit to Vintage Treks with his extensive experience in the wine import and wholesale sectors. He has traveled to wine-producing countries around the world and has been able to work directly with some of the world's most notable wineries and winemakers. 

Jim, Carol, and Josh pride themselves on their knowledge of the industry and expertise as tour guides to ensure a day filled with relaxation and learning for your group, company, or organization. Wine tours with Vintage Treks consist of stops at three wineries, a winery and/or vineyard tour, tastings at each location, lunch, and discussions about wine throughout the day. Vintage Treks is 100% family owned and operated.
