The Round Peak style of old-time music came out of a small community just outside Mount Airy. Tommy Jarrell, Fred Cockerham, Charlie Lowe. The clawhammer banjo and fiddle tunes they played have been recorded, studied, and imitated worldwide. The Earle in Mount Airy keeps that tradition alive.
That is the thing to understand about Surry County and the Yadkin Valley before you plan a trip. The art, craft, and wine are all real. But they sit on top of a musical culture that goes deep.
Elkin's Main Street has galleries and locally made goods worth an afternoon. The Yadkin Valley Wine Trail runs through countryside that looks nothing like wine country is supposed to and is better for it. Mount Airy delivers on the Mayberry mythology and then some.
Come for a day. Plan for two.
