Island Winery, the Winery on Hilton Head Island

Wine Tasting at Island Winery

The list runs from dry to sweet. There are a couple of dry whites and dry reds, and most of the rest are fruit wines and sweet wines. A tasting is a flight of small pours at the tasting bar, and reviewers call the pours generous and the staff friendly and quick. You can also order wine by the glass or a spritzer, and bottles are for sale to take home. Reviewers who like dry reds say the selection leans sweet, so ask the person pouring to start you with the dry wines.

Where You Sit

There is a tasting bar, a few tables, a barrel room and an outdoor patio and lawn. The room is not large, so the patio is the place to be on a nice day. Guests are welcome to bring a snack. The winery also hosts groups and makes custom labels for bottles.

Island Winery Hours

Island Winery is open noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Call (843) 842-3141 to ask about a group.

Make an Afternoon of It

Hilton Head Distillery is across the road at 14 Cardinal Road, and one reviewer stopped at the winery to fill the time before a distillery tour. For more places to drink local, see the breweries and craft beer guide or Hilton Head bars.
