Our Story

Where every loaf tells a story

Tanyard Vineyard was born from a simple conviction: that the best food comes from patience, quality ingredients, and a deep respect for tradition. Nestled along Smokey Road in Aylett, our bakery has become a gathering place for neighbors who appreciate the difference real baking makes.

Every morning, our bakers arrive before dawn. We mix, fold, and ferment by hand — never rushing the process. Our sourdoughs develop over 48 hours. Our pastries are laminated layer by layer. The result is food that tastes like it was made the way it always should have been.

The Experience

More than a bakery — a destination

Step inside Tanyard Vineyard and you'll find a space designed for slow mornings and unhurried conversations. The aroma of fresh bread greets you at the door. Warm light fills the room. There's room to sit, to linger, to enjoy a pastry with a cup of coffee while the world moves a little slower.

We host tasting events, bread-making workshops, and seasonal vineyard celebrations throughout the year. Whether you're picking up a single loaf or planning a catering order, we treat every visit as an opportunity to share something made with genuine care.
