South Carolina is home to a number of vineyards and wineries, but none of them quite compare to this delightful vineyard located just 20 minutes south of Charleston on Wadmalaw Island and nestled alongside the Wadmalaw River. It’s open year-round and features self-guided tours of the property where you can wander the lands like you own the place while you enjoy the spoils of this carefully cultivated slice of paradise.
