About Irvin~House VIneyards

Irvin~House Vineyards, located at 6775 Bears Bluff Road on Wadmalaw Island in South Carolina, is owned by Jim and Ann Irvin. In March 2001,  they planted 2,700 muscadine vines and converted farm barns into a winery with a tasting room, creating a unique business and a new attraction for the Lowcountry, becoming Charleston's only winery and vineyard. The Irvin’s 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. Irvin~House Vineyards is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more information, visit www.CharlestonWine.com. Follow on Twitter.com/CharlestonWine or on Facebook.
