In this episode of The Best of LKN, Jeff sits down with Mariano Doble, owner of the Davidson Village Inn and founder of Vine Society. Mariano shares the inspiring story of how he and his wife turned a lifelong dream of owning a boutique inn into reality, their instant connection with Davidson, and the philosophy of “true hospitality” that keeps guests returning year after year. He also introduces Vine Society, a vibrant wine community born during the pandemic, offering master classes, travel experiences, and exclusive tastings. Mariano previews the upcoming Greater Lake Norman Wine Summit—a first-of-its-kind, all-day wine education event coming December 12, 2025, to the Kane Center for the Arts. The conversation also dives into community involvement, including support for local nonprofits, the Davidson Rotary Club, and the Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce.
