The distillery itself is absolutely gorgeous, with a rustic and charming feel, plenty of parking, and a layout that makes it the perfect place to host an event. Even though all the vendors and some food trucks were unable to make it because of the snow, I still had the chance to enjoy a delicious lobster roll and creamy lobster mac and cheese that were incredible. The flavored moonshine was a real highlight and so much fun to try, and the strawberry lemonade was perfectly refreshing. I loved the cute little photo opp signs and all the fun swag. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the whole visit a warm and enjoyable experience. Scotty C, this would be the perfect spot to host a Yelp event or any special gathering for that matter! I am already planning to come back for a tour next time. The distillery itself is just stunning and there is so much to explore. Everything from the beautiful setting to the delicious drinks and food, to the friendly staff, makes Firefly Distillery a must-visit destination.

I must admit that I have become biased since I have started visiting High Wire Distillery over a…read moreyear ago. My first time there was for a tasting and a tour but I have found myself returning every time I am in Charleston. The staff and owners are very kind and willing to spend time to share their story and answer any questions about Jimmy Red and more broadly spirits in general. They are not just informative about their own story but the bourbon community more broadly. Jimmy Red Bourbon is unlike any other whiskey or bourbon you may eperience in the fact that it is a pure 100% red corn distillate. It has an amazing profile and finish that is as unique as it is delicious. I have visited and revisited a large number of distilleries but I find myself preferably returning to High Wire time and time again due to the qualitiy of their spirits, the ambiance of the distillary, and the experience of sitting and talking about bourbon with a knowlegeble staff. I strongly recommend a visit if you you find yourself visiting Charleston South Carolina.

Hardscoop Distellery has a physical location on Clements Ferry Rd., but their ice cream is sold at liquor stores and Harris Teeter. I recently attended a tasting, where I tried the ice cream and learned more about it- and I've since become a fan and customer. Not only is Hardscoop made locally, but they also use local products. The price is very reasonable for the quality of ingredients as well as the alcohol content. A container of Hardscoop is cheaper than one fancy cocktail, and you can eat the whole container in your pajamas while binge-watching Netflix on the couch, with no judgement. Win win. Hardscoop regularly sells vanilla, chocolate, and coffee ice creams, but also offers seasonal flavors like peach sorbet. I tried each flavor, and the chocolate is hands-down my favorite. These ice creams are 16 proof, except the peach sorbet which is 21 proof. Needless to say, it packs a punch, so keep it away from the kiddos (or the lightweights). I can't wait to try some of the seasonal flavors. Rumor has it there will be a pumpkin spice flavor at the end of September, too.

The space is so nice and big and open. When I walked in, I was greeted warmly, and had a lovely chit chat with the bouncer. She checked my ID, I got my wrist band, and went right in. I stopped at the bar to of course grab a drink before the show. I didn't know what to order as all the drinks looked delicious so the bartender (whom was very nice as well) suggested the Pink 75. It was amazing and definitely packed a punch! I sipped on it for awhile, and made the wise decision to not get a second drink as I was tired from the drive down. The bands I saw there were - Archers, The Rasmus, and The Funeral Portrait. The venue was a great place to listen to some rock music. The sound was amazing, I was able to see where I was standing, and the show started on time. All SUPER important points! The down time between bands was also quick. I had such a great time at the show and really enjoyed the vibe of The Rickhouse at Cannon Distillery.

The whole flight was a good sample. The vodka has an off smell but then finishes very smooth. Don't be afraid of The Carolina reaper as it isn't as spicy as you fear. For example, SoCo has a spicy pepper that is crazy hot. The Jasper'sGin had the strong flavor of juniper as promised. I sensed a bit of ginger and pretended to taste the cinnamon. It's smooth gin that I enjoyed. I did appreciate the Tolerance (aka cinnamon liqueur) but not enough to purchase a bottle for my home. The bourbon tastes like bourbon and the Rye like Rye. In summary, nothing stood out as a 'must have' but everything was enjoyable. It was a good afternoon visit.

I visited Deep Water Vineyard with a large group this past weekend when we were in the area for a…read morebirthday celebration, and there were things I loved it. The property is lovely. Huge live oaks (one with a skateboard swing); plenty of tables and seating; live music at certain times (there was someone singing and playing guitar for most of our visit on a Saturday afternoon); and animals galore - from pens with chickens, Highland cows, and pigs to dogs that work at the winery! The staff were incredibly friendly. Between the staff and the property, it's the kind of place you could spend hours on a pretty day. On the other hand, even in winter (we visited in January, on a mild day) we had a hard time with the gnats on the property. At least I think it was gnats that were flying around our faces and trying to commit suicide in our wine. Maybe they weren't gnats - I didn't think gnats bit humans, and these things wanted our blood. But whatever they were, they were really obnoxious. We moved from the grassy area to an area in the front of the winery that had a concrete slab, but they were either everywhere on the property or followed us - because they were there, too. We couldn't escape them. We bought ten bottles of their wine and did a make your own wine tasting from them (because we were a large group, this made more sense than doing their tasting). Unfortunately, most of the wines weren't to my taste, only about 3/10 were wines I would drink a glass of (we were doing 1 oz pours since we were trying so many). Being a Southern winery, they make several wines from muscadine grapes, which just isn't my cup of tea. They do offer a few other beverages (mead and Bloody Marys at the very least - they may have had more but I didn't venture to the bar to find out) if you want something other than wine. (They seem to offer frozen drinks - frose? - but they weren't offering that since we were there in January.) The property is fun to visit - animals, trees, live music, space for games and spreading out... Unfortunately, the wines weren't for me, and the bugs made me nuts (I'm itchy again just writing this review)! Still, a fun place to stop for a visit if you're doing other things in the area. It can accommodate big groups, too. And the staff were really great - I appreciate how welcoming they make the property!

The winery has a large property with plenty of space to explore, including what appears to be a small farm with chickens and pigs. On a warm day, the outdoor seating areas with games would likely make for a lovely experience. However, when it came to the wine tasting, the samples were served in plastic cups, which some may actually prefer. But for us, it took away from the overall experience. And most importantly, the wines themselves just didn't impress our palates. We tried a variety of their offerings, but nothing really stood out or compelled us to purchase a bottle to take home. It's a shame, because the setting is really quite nice. But at the end of the day, the wine is the most important factor, and this winery missed the mark for us on that front. If you're in the area and want to spend some time outdoors in a charming environment, it could still be worth a visit. But I wouldn't go out of your way, especially if you're a serious wine enthusiast.
