When it comes to cooling off on a warm day, few things are as wholly satisfying as frozen wine slushies. This newborn frozen treat for adults only is quickly becoming a summertime staple at Douglas Vineyards in Kannapolis. As a mere point of reference, in under 30 miles from Charlotte and under 60 miles from Winston-Salem, you can be strolling through the vineyard with a wine slushie of your own in no time.

Located between I-77 and I-85 in Kannapolis, Douglas Vineyards has perfected the art of the frozen wine slushie.
