Founder’s Day

In honor of Charlie Shelton's birthday, a portion of all sales on May 12 will be donated to the Viticulture and Enology Program at Surry Community College.  This includes purchases made from Shelton Vineyards, Harvest Grill, Village Market, and Hampton Inn and Suites Dobson. This program was very important to Charlie. His hope was that the graduates would work in the local community to help the industry grow and prosper.
