Downtown Gazebo

Sweetwater has events all year long.From parades to festivals, we havesomething going on for every seasonof the year. We love to have fun inSweetwater, and when we get together,it’s like a big family. Come be apart ofour fun this year.

MuscadineN A T I O N A L 2 0 1 1

F E S T I V A L

Hidden in the rolling hills of MonroeCounty is a relatively unknown treasure.The state’s largest Muscadine grapevineyard is right here in MonroeCounty. Tsali (pronounced sahlee)Notch Vineyards is a 91-acre estate with5600 vines. The vineyard is managedby Jeremy “JD” Dalton and his father,Jim. • The vineyard has two sections,one with longer rows and one withshorter ones. All the rows are plantedfrom north to south so that they get themost sun possible. Muscadine grapesfavor more sun and dryer weather. Infact, this summer’s intense heat andlack of rain has yielded a harvest thatdoubles last year’s. The land, though, is in a perfect spot. The estate is in asmall valley, and this causes the sun toburn off fog almost immediately as wellas a constant breeze to move throughthe area. The weather keeps problemslike mildew and mold away, and thatmeans that the grapes are nearly organicbecause of how little chemicals areneeded to cultivate the muscadines.

Last Weekend in September

The National MuscadineFestival is held in Septemberto kick off the harvest seasonin Sweetwater. This two-dayfestival is a huge event, full of live music, inflatables,

great food and fun for the entire family. Duringthe National MuscadineFestival, you will be able totour Tsali Notch, thelargest muscadine vineyardin the state, and see theunique fruit ripe for picking.
