Childress Vineyard Event Pavilion

Childress Vineyards in Lexington, NC is a popular destination for tours, wine tastings and events throughout the year. Their open-air pavilion with its stone fireplace is a wonderful venue for weddings, receptions, dinners, reunions and parties. In December 2016 the Pavilion was reserved for a large wedding party . Recognizing that weather is often unpredictable in the winter, Childress Vineyards contacted Five Star Retractable Systems for ways to ensure the wedding party and guests would be comfortable. Among the challenges Five Star needed to address were:

  • Flexibility for open-air views in good weather.
  • Protection from cold, wind, rain or snow
  • Preserving the view during the day, while screening out insects and too much sun
  • Motorized operation to easily deploy screens when needed and hide them when not needed
  • The ability to partially open or close screens when desired, for partial protection from the sun’s glare while still enjoying a breeze
  • Installation around stone-capped columns, requiring cutting channels in the stone, while preserving the beauty of the architecture
  • Aesthetically-pleasing storage for the screens when they were not needed, manual-operation screened sliding doors
  • A silk-screened Childress monogram on the entry doors

Project lead time from specification through installation was very tight. Five Star Retractable Systems addressed the challenges with customized solutions, that performed beautifully. The Pavilion continues to be a popular, year-round venue for weddings, parties and events. Childress Vineyards is now able to book events in the Pavilion throughout the year, generating increased revenues year-round without worries about the weather on the day of the event. Higher revenues throughout the year generate a nice return on the retractable screen investment, often paying for them within months, a year or a few years.
