The best way I found to learn North Carolina is to tour it by wineries. You will find wineries from the Smoky Mountains, to the outer banks and everywhere else in between. They are almost always miles off the beaten path. The range of topography and culture you will experience is mind blowing!!!

Touring North Carolina by wineries is a huge opportunity or "excuse"to travel. If you happen to have just moved to the state and love wine, travelling the state in this particular fashion would not only be great fun but also especially helpful to your adjustment to your new home state. This will allow you to become more familiar and comfortable with both the new environment and the people. This should definitely help lower your stress levels caused by moving to a new unfamiliar place. Don't you think?

You may also find a new favorite wine, which should definitely help lower your stress levels!! They do make some very good wines in North Carolina, this is the fastest growing wine state in the country.

Besides helping to lower your stress levels and as a way to get inebriated, there are other reasons why you should tour North Carolina wineries.

There are over 100 wineries in the state. Touring the state by winery will get you into just about every corner of the state. A great introduction to all the different things the state has to offer. All the attractions and believe me, this is a huge tourist state with thousands of attractions. You're sure to find many places you will want to re-visit once you get settled down in your new life.

You also may find a few opportunities which you never new existed. Learn new information that matches your specific niche in life. And not only through traveling on the roads but also through actually going into the winery and meeting and talking to the people. There are many different types of people inside these establishments, you may meet a new friends, find a new business opportunity, or learn great advice from one of the locals. There are actually endless opportunities that may cross your path once you begin touring.

You don't have to actually go inside each winery, but to get the most out of this journey, make sure the ones you do decide to visit take you on a nice tour of the state.The best way to begin is to find a list of North Carolina wineries. Or a map that has the locations marked out. There are over a 100 different wineries in the state but the good thing is North Carolina is not a huge state so in a single weekend you can probably visit a good number.
