Around the World With Henrietta: 20 Wines, Charcuterie, and One Wednesday Night in the Yadkin Valley

As listed on Eventbrite, Henrietta's is teaming up with Emmy Lou's Wine Bar on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, for "Around the World With Henrietta" - an evening built around 20 wines from across the globe, paired with charcuterie boards. I don't see events like this come together often out here, and it's worth knowing what you're actually walking into.

Twenty wines is not a casual tasting. That's a lineup that takes real curation and coordination between two operations. The collaboration between Henrietta's and Emmy Lou's Wine Bar is what makes it possible, and the charcuterie pairing tells you someone thought carefully about how food and wine are going to work together that night.

What This Event Actually Is

This is not your standard local wine night. Pulling together 20 wines from around the world requires access, selection decisions, and a point of view about what you want people to experience. Pairing that with charcuterie boards is a deliberate choice. Food and wine interact in ways that change how both taste, and an event structured around that interaction is a genuine learning opportunity, not just a social hour.

If you've ever wondered why a wine lands differently with food than it does on its own, this is the kind of evening where that starts to make sense. The date is July 15, the location is Henrietta's, and tickets are on the Eventbrite page linked above.

Why Round Peak Vineyard Belongs in Your Plans That Day

If you're driving out for a Wednesday evening event, make the whole day count. Round Peak Vineyard is based in Mount Airy, NC, and it's the kind of place that earns a few hours of your afternoon before you head into the evening.

The vineyard sits up in the Blue Ridge foothills with mountain views and a tasting room that fits the setting. It's relaxed in the way that the best valley stops tend to be, without trying to be something it isn't. Round Peak works with a range of red and white varietals and has built a real reputation for producing wines with character. Spending an afternoon there and then walking into a 20-wine global tasting gives you something useful: a local reference point before you start moving through wines from other parts of the world. That contrast is actually educational in the most unforced way possible.

Tickets for the evening event are available through Eventbrite. Check Round Peak's hours directly at roundpeak.com before you go so you can plan the afternoon accordingly.

What Makes This Valley Worth Your Time

I built ValleySomm because people kept telling me they wanted to explore the Yadkin Valley wine trail but didn't know where to start or how to string a trip together without wasting half the day backtracking. Events like this one at Henrietta's are exactly why the planning matters.

The Yadkin Valley doesn't get the same recognition as Napa or Willamette. I think about that a lot. But the producers here are serious about what they're making, and the people running venues like Henrietta's and Emmy Lou's are thinking carefully about wine education and community experience. That's the foundation of a wine region that earns its place over time.

When you show up to an event like this having already spent time tasting locally, the global wines mean more. Context changes everything.

Plan Your Trip

If you're targeting July 15, the approach is straightforward: get to Round Peak Vineyard in the early afternoon, work through a tasting, and give yourself time to settle in before you need to leave for the evening. Then head to Henrietta's. Grab tickets through Eventbrite before they're gone.

The ValleySomm planner is built for exactly this kind of day. Tell it which wineries you want to hit, and it maps the route, accounts for hours, and puts it all together without the guesswork. Plan your Yadkin Valley wine trip at ValleySomm and show up ready instead of figuring it out in the parking lot.
