Company's Description:
Irvin-House Vineyards is located on the subtropical shores of Wadmalaw Island, an area long famous for its rich, fertile, and sandy soil.
Our Vineyard, also the home of Firefly Distillery, is situated on 48 beautiful acres. A scenic stroll reveals the winery and tasting room; a renovated party barn; a picturesque flower and vegetable garden; chicken coops; and a picnic area with outdoor games in a beautiful Lowcountry setting.
Nestled in between the majestic live oaks on Charleston’s backporch of Wadmalaw Island, this vineyard has something for everyone.
Irvin-House Vineyards is the only domestic winery in Charleston. We grow the grapes, harvest them, make the wine, and bottle our wines on the property.
There is nothing quite like a stroll through our vineyards and the surrounding property. A large pond stocked with fish. Walking trails. Abundant birds and wildlife scampering about. Old oak trees with Spanish Moss shading the property. This is the true character of South Carolina’s Lowcountry hertitage.
Even the grapes we grow have Southern roots. Our wines are hand-crafted from the humble muscadine grape . This sweet grape with a fruity aroma grows practically everywhere in the South. People tell us how the taste of muscadines transport them back to their childhood.
We have taken this childhood favorite and given it an adult spin. Irvin-House produces 5 varieties of fine muscadine wine for your enjoyment.
The Winery is closed the month of January. We look forward to seeing you when we reopen.
HOURS:
We are open Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Winery is closed during the month of January.
Tastings start every half hour. A wine tasting includes all five wines & a wrapped glass for $2.50.
Every Saturday we have a FREE TOUR at 2:00 pm.
We offer private tours for parties 15 & up. This a great place to plan a date of a lowcountry picnic!
