Wineries with Vineyards


 

A small craft winery in the southern Greenville County countryside, City Scape Winery focuses on producing high-quality batches of local, innovative wines. Its dry white muscadine wine was named the “Best Estate-Grown Wine” in the 2019 Palmetto Wine Competition, and no visit is complete without saying hello to Pinot, the winery’s resident pot-bellied pig.
589 Dunklin Bridge Rd., Pelzer


 

Victoria Valley Vineyards’ 47-acre site in northern Greenville County was chosen for its elevation and soil structure, which was perfect for growing and producing its popular Vinifera wines. The European flavors and French-style chateau make for a perfect escape and an excursion you’ll never forget. Enjoy lunch on the terrace, get a group tour of the winery, and try a wine flight.
1360 S. Saluda Rd., Cleveland


 

Eagle Mountain Vineyards & Winery

Recently opened in summer 2021, Eagle Mountain Vineyards & Winery’s Director of Winemaking, master winemaker George Bursick, once produced the #1 wine in the world, as rated by Wine Spectator. In addition to growing grapes on its estate in northern Greenville County (along Scenic Hwy 11), the winery also sources grapes from the finest vineyards in California.
2330 Hwy 11, Travelers Rest

Wellborn  Winery

Located just north of Travelers Rest, Wellborn Winery was looking for a way to distinguish itself among South Carolina wineries, and it found one. By blending French-American hybrids and native American grapes, it produces a distinctive collection of wines that tastefully articulate the history and nature of the Upstate region’s climate and soil.
254 Mush Creek Rd., Travelers Rest


 


 

Recently opened in April 2022 and nestled between the mountains in Marietta, just 30 minutes from Greenville, sits the Kennington Family Winery. With 11 wines on their handcrafted menu, the Kennington’s have carefully selected the best winemakers from across the country and mixed them with the family’s unique flavors from Upstate South Carolina. The winery offers a blend for everybody—your experience is intended to be tailored to what you wish, whether you prefer to sip (or not), and to be enjoyed around people who value community.
507 Beaver Dam Rd, Marietta


 


 

Urban Wineries


 


 

[ elevation966 ] Winery

Greenville's first urban winery, elevation966 boasts unique, handmade small-batch wines. This relatively-new-to-the-scene winery is located in The Junction at Greenville Downtown Airport, so you can pair your wine with tacos from the second (and larger) location of White Duck Taco Shop. 
301 Airport Rd. Suite H (The Junction at Downtown Airport)


 

Winery Tours


 

You could drive yourself around on a self-made winery tour OR you could book a 6-person luxurious SUV or a larger, comfy 11-passenger van and let the Van in Black (who specialize in winery tours) do the driving for you. Wine tasting is a lot more fun with a group and when you don’t have to worry about drinking and driving. Cruise around in style as your knowledgeable driver takes you to all the wineries you desire—and stores all your wine purchases (and sides of cheese?) in the extra storage space.

Tasting Rooms & Bottle Shops

 

Greenville's local wine shops and wine tasting rooms offer a vast selection of vino that would make any wine lover fall head over heels (but just be sure to get an Uber if you get too head over heels).

 

Come enjoy a glass of your favorite wine and take in the views of the Blue Ridge Mountains at the Red Horse Inn Wine Bar, a recently opened outdoor wine venue with live music. It's the perfect setting to try out an extensive collection of different wines, eat cheese, and soak in the spectacular mountain views. Well-behaved dogs are allowed, there is a snack menu, and if you're lucky, there will be a food truck on the premises! 
45 Winstons Chase Court, Landrum
 

The entire premise of The Tasting Room of TR is to make artisan wine more accessible and less intimidating. It does so by providing a place where people can not only buy wine (and craft beer), but also learn about it through educational wine tasting events.
164 S. Main St. Suite C, Travelers Rest

With an eclectic and extensive selection of wines by the glass, a wide tasting menu, and the ability to buy any bottle of wine on their shelves at retail prices (with no additional corkage fees or restaurant-level margins), downtown’s Foxcroft Wine Co. takes the risk out of trying something new. When combined with their from-scratch kitchen, Foxcroft offers an ample variety of items to tempt your tastebuds!
