MAIN Wines North America USA South Carolina

Like most native wineries of the South, the mighty muscadine is the grape of choice for making South Carolina wines.

It was Sir Walter Raleigh who in the mid-1600's reported them growing "on the sandy shores and in the green fields," along roadsides and growing wild up and around the sides of Southern colonial homes.

Today, the muscadine is joined by "imported" grapes from other states like California to satisfy the demand for locally made wines in South Carolina...
