GIBSONVILLE, N.C. -- During the warm months, places such as Grove Winery in Gibsonville bring in food trucks from all over the state.
- The more popular food trucks become, the more breweries and wineries bring them to their properties
- "It costs a lot of money to put in a kitchen so so they partner with the food trucks to bring in the food," Daven Merchant, the owner of The Pearl Kitchen food truck said
- The Grove Winery said it hosts food trucks at its location the second Sunday of each month during the warmer months
The winery's wine maker said it is a win win for both them and the food truck owner.
"The Food Truck Rodeos are definitely busier days out here. It's also a good day for the food trucks. A lot of our customers become their permanent customers," Max Lloyd said.
The more popular food trucks become, the more breweries and wineries bring them to their properties.
"People bring in the food trucks to bring in the crowd. Food trucks are a big trend right now. The breweries, they don't have kitchens. It costs a lot of money to put in a kitchen, so they partner with the food trucks to bring in the food," Daven Merchant, the owner of The Pearl Kitchen food truck said.
One winery goer said it gives customers more options.
"If somebody here wants to drink wine they have the option to try a food truck too. When you come to places like breweries and there's no food....it's kind of a deterrent. You're gonna want to eat when you're drinking beer or wine," Andrew Todaro said.
The Grove Winery said it hosts food trucks at its location the second Sunday of each month during the warmer months.
