Stonefield Cellars Winery began with our vision of creating a small, high quality winery in Guilford County. Vineyards and good luck brought the founders together and their common love of wine and farming provided the foundation for the creation of Stonefield Cellars. Along the way, friends have joined and helped us to realize our dream of our vineyard and winery.
