Upcountry Winery & Vineyard Small-Group Expedition

Journey into the rolling South Carolina Piedmont for a curated tour of three acclaimed wineries, with expert guidance, estate tastings, and vine-to-glass storytelling. A rare, unhurried luxury in America's emerging wine country.

What to expect

Your expert guide collects you in a private vehicle and heads into the scenic Blue Ridge foothills, where the Carolinas' wine scene is quietly earning national attention. Each estate offers a hosted tasting — crisp whites, robust reds, and the region's signature Muscadine — accompanied by artisanal local charcuterie. Proprietors often join for a personal toast, sharing the passion behind their terroir.
