It’s a Shuckin’ Good Time at Irvin~House Vineyards at the Inaugural Cork Shuckin’ Party




It’s a new year and Irvin~House Vineyards is inviting the public to help the vineyard celebrate 2012, along with the unveiling of a new Irvin~House Vineyards product, at its inaugural Cork Shuckin’ Party on Saturday, February 4 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the vineyard. Admission is free but patrons are encouraged to bring their cash and credit for a wide variety of libations and food options.



Oysters will be available for purchase by the bucket, along with delicious food by Farm on Fire. Guests are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the music of Kristi Starr and Gary Hewitt. But the guest of the event will be the new product that the Irvin’s have been creating, which will not be revealed until the event. Tastings in the Firefly Vodka distillery and Irvin~House Vineyards winery are only $6.00 to taste 6 of 12 flavors of Firefly Vodka and Sea Island Rums and $4.00 to taste 5 wines. Patrons will receive complimentary glasses during both tastings.



The vineyard is closed during January and will reopen on February 1. The staff wanted to kick February off with a bang, “We’ve wanted to have an oyster roast for a long while, and now with our new product we will unveil, it’s the perfect time to do it. We always love a party at the vineyard.” said Fran Collins, manager of the wine and Firefly Vodka tasting rooms.

About Irvin~House VIneyard
Irvin~House Vineyard, located at 6775 Bears Bluff Road on Wadmalaw Island in South Carolina, is owned by Jim and Ann Irvin.

The Irvins have produced five varieties of wine. These wines range from a semi-dry to the regular sweet muscadine that is reminiscent of the old South. Muscadines are the only grapes that will grow in the humid climate of the Lowcountry. Irvin House Vineyards works with 4 varieties of muscadine grapes.
