The gentleman we encountered when we stopped in at the beginning of our first-time visit to Mt. Airy was very helpful. He even called down to Wally's to schedule our squad car tour for us. It's worth stopping here if you've never been to Mt. Airy before.

We met the real Floyd's son, who owns the barber shop and employs two barbers. He was SO friendly and full of local history and stories about all the different people that he has met over the years. Original cash register and at least one original barber chair.

The adults enjoyed the dry wine tasting, beer tasting and cider tasting. Our favorite wines were the Meritage and the Cabernet Franc. Our favorite beer was the Saison. Our favorite cider was the cherry cider. The staff was very friendly. We stayed in the well stocked cabin for four nights. We are recommending Round Peak Vineyard to our friends. It is a true gem. The owner Ken introduced himself to us and made us feel very welcome. The frisbee golf course was a great workout and a great way to enjoy the property.

Stopped in with my wife while we were visiting Mount Airy, NC. This store had quite a unique selection of old fashioned candies, all loose and you self-bagged your selections. Gloves were provided to add to the sanitization of the store. The prices were very good compared to other similar stores we have visited. The service was friendly and efficient. We enjoyed our time there and got some tasty treats for later.

Granite City Greenway.....sooooo nice! Such a fun afternoon, round trip bicycle ride—-out and back about 13 miles. Very little elevation change , paved, along a meandering waterway, and just brief views of businesses along the way keeps this an enjoyable adventure.
