South Carolina has been home for AnneMarie since 2001. Her favorite part of the state is Lake Jocassee. An App State alumna, it's always the mountains; the lake bonus makes it heavenly. When not writing about the state, she may be spending time with family, relaxing by the pool, or out somewhere enjoying nature.
Way out practically in the middle of seemingly nowhere is sometimes where you happen to find the neatest spots. That is, if you’re the type of person who drives around exploring rural areas. But if you’re not, we’ve got you covered! We love discovering those types of places and passing them along to you, and Three Star Vineyard and Orchard is one of the best little-known places in South Carolina you’ll want to explore, especially if you’re a wine enthusiast.
Three Star Vineyard & Orchard is tucked away on Holmes Pond Road in the rural countryside just outside the small town of Johnson.
Family-owned for 30 years, Three Star Vineyard & Orchard harvests over 175 acres of muscadine and scuppernong grapes by hand and prepares them for fresh market or to be sent locally for fermentation and then bottled into delicious wine.
The largest grower and shipper of muscadine and scuppernong grapes in South Carolina, you can find these grapes in grocery stores on the east coast from Florida all the way to New York.
Auto shows have also been hosted at Three Star Vineyard & Orchard. Sip on your favorite wine or slushy flavor while browsing the automobiles on display.
And be sure to stop by the gift shop before you leave. Opened in August of 2019, it's stocked with products created by women-owned businesses, a gesture of support from one business run by women to others.
And although it's one of South Carolina's lesser-known places, those who do find it become instant, loyal fans. After all, it was by customer request that Three Star Vineyard & Orchard decided to expand and open up a tasting room where customers could have a place to enjoy their wine with friends. Prior to that, it was wholesale only for about 28 years.
Visit the Three Star Vineyard & Orchard website for additional information and to book an event at this little-known destination in South Carolina. You’ll find updates on the Three Star Vineyard & Orchard Facebook page. While you’re in the area, check out the town of Edgefield just west of the vineyard, which is a charming, peaceful town in South Carolina worth a visit. In fact, book a Vrbo in the area and make it a weekend adventure!
