Here are some great things to do when you visit Monroe, North Carolina, which is about 30 miles southeast of Charlotte.
Treehouse Vineyards

Treehouse Vineyards has been a Monroe staple for over a decade and offers a unique escape. It is named Treehouse Vineyards for a reason. You can rent one of three treehouses overlooking the rolling hills and vineyard.
