Brought my daughter and her friends here to celebrate her upcoming wedding and the experience was absolutely wonderful. Eric is incredibly knowledgable about wine, made the entire experience both educational and fun. Even the girls in the group who don't really drink wine ended up having a great time and created a wine blend that they truly enjoyed! Plenty of wine to taste and enjoy while you are creating your personal blend. You leave the class with a custom made bottle that you created with a personalized label that you designed (need to send the label design a few days before your class and they have it printed and ready for your bottle the day of the class). Go early and enjoy the beautiful hotel and art gallery before your class begins. This is a must do experience if you are in Charleston, you won't regret it.

His expertise with the red wines offered us the best wine blending experience. The blending room was adorned with beautiful art and was adjacent to the wine bar! The beautiful chandelier's lighting was amazing. Afterwards, we had fine dining upstairs in Eleve'. The meal was nothing shy of amazing! And we had the pleasure of meeting several members of management including Mr. Brown. It's always a pleasure when you see managers checking to make sure their guests are receiving the best dining experience.

Everything was excellent! Kudos to this company and David for a job well done! I told Cultur5 Travel they hit it on the nail with Holy City Transportation. I will use them again and highly recommend them.

I visited Deep Water Vineyard with a large group this past weekend when we were in the area for a…read morebirthday celebration, and there were things I loved it. The property is lovely. Huge live oaks (one with a skateboard swing); plenty of tables and seating; live music at certain times (there was someone singing and playing guitar for most of our visit on a Saturday afternoon); and animals galore - from pens with chickens, Highland cows, and pigs to dogs that work at the winery! The staff were incredibly friendly. Between the staff and the property, it's the kind of place you could spend hours on a pretty day. On the other hand, even in winter (we visited in January, on a mild day) we had a hard time with the gnats on the property. At least I think it was gnats that were flying around our faces and trying to commit suicide in our wine. Maybe they weren't gnats - I didn't think gnats bit humans, and these things wanted our blood. But whatever they were, they were really obnoxious. We moved from the grassy area to an area in the front of the winery that had a concrete slab, but they were either everywhere on the property or followed us - because they were there, too. We couldn't escape them. We bought ten bottles of their wine and did a make your own wine tasting from them (because we were a large group, this made more sense than doing their tasting). Unfortunately, most of the wines weren't to my taste, only about 3/10 were wines I would drink a glass of (we were doing 1 oz pours since we were trying so many). Being a Southern winery, they make several wines from muscadine grapes, which just isn't my cup of tea. They do offer a few other beverages (mead and Bloody Marys at the very least - they may have had more but I didn't venture to the bar to find out) if you want something other than wine. (They seem to offer frozen drinks - frose? - but they weren't offering that since we were there in January.) The property is fun to visit - animals, trees, live music, space for games and spreading out... Unfortunately, the wines weren't for me, and the bugs made me nuts (I'm itchy again just writing this review)! Still, a fun place to stop for a visit if you're doing other things in the area. It can accommodate big groups, too. And the staff were really great - I appreciate how welcoming they make the property!

The mead's are real good and they have other drink options available. It's a small festival but worth going!

Strolling down Julian street (best street in the world because they named it after my son, obviously), my partner saw the wine tastings and immediately directed me that way, knowing I love wine lol. When we stepped inside, it was so much bigger than I expected. There were a bunch of daiquiri machines spinning, hundreds of wine bottles on display and happy people drinking. Heavenly. I made my way to the tasting counter and had the chance to do my tastings under the guidance of Noah. There were so many options to choose from, Noah was so helpful helping me find my choices and explaining the notes. He was one of the best parts of the experience, I was really impressed with his knowledge of the wine and his fantastic customer service. I decided to try the jalapeño wine, the Tybee island pearadise pine, velvet reserve, white Pinot noir, and the prohibition pomegranate. The pearadise pine and white pinot noir were both so light and lovely, perfect beach wines. The jalapeño wine was surprisingly fantastic. Noah said that many people were pleasantly surprised with it and I joined that number. It was sweet and smoky, not overwhelming at all. The prohibition pomegranate was my least favorite unfortunately. It was tooooo sweet but I'm one who prefers a dryer wine and Noah did give me a heads up that it was pretty sweet. I couldn't finish it. BUT. BUT. That Velvet Reserve? Babyyyy. My bff Noah said it was his favorite and a favorite of many, bold and high alcohol content. Let me tell you, he didn't lie one bit. It was so bold, rich in flavors, phew. I immediately asked him to grab a bottle for me. Such a great experience trying some local wines, so happy to head back to ATL with a new fave vino!

The wine tasting was very nice. They give you a good amount of wine to try and it was very delicious. My critic would be that during the tasting they should give you crackers or nuts to flush your palette during the wine tasting. Besides that the tasting was nice. I got the grilled cheese which was half a grilled cheese but it was delicious. I did order a Cesar salad and they gave me an antipasta salad which I was not a fan of. Would come back

The staff was incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed and laid-back from the moment we arrived. For just $10, we were able to sample six very generous pours of wine--such an amazing deal! Honestly, there wasn't a single wine I didn't enjoy, but the Blueberry wine was definitely my favorite. The seating area was very clean and spacious, with plenty of indoor seating as well as outdoor options. While the winery doesn't offer food, you're welcome to bring your own snacks or charcuterie board, which worked out perfectly for our group. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be returning to sample more wine again. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

My wife heard about Coastal Vino via a FB group called Pelowinos and we figured we'd stop in for a drink. We are wine drinkers with fair to good knowledge about wine and were immediately impressed by the convivial and knowledgeable owner and master-of-ceremonies, David Coy. This is a wine shop/bar. When we arrived, there were friendly patrons at the few outside tables who pegged us for tourists (non-regulars) and made sure to point us to David inside. It was busy but we were able to get stools at the small bar. David asked us about our preferences and explained pricing and how one buys the bottle vs individual glasses to drink in-shop. Fellow patrons were very complimentary of the owner's knowledge and recommendations so we decided to let him choose a red for us. He chose an excellent Spanish old-vine garnacha. Perfect choice for us and we sat happily chatting with his friendly customers. The environment was part Cheers (but with wine) and part speak-easy. People were surprised that we stumbled upon this place and teased David about his store's countrywide reach. It was very friendly and welcoming considering many were regulars and local. Very fun and what a wine bar should be. Needless to say, we left with 3 bottles, two opened (which is allowed) and one recommendation that we decided to carry home. As a wine shop, it is well curated. You will not see the "plonk" that fills most other shops (and largely pays the bills). What you will find is a wine lover's oasis with quality selections from storied wine regions and some little known gems that David is happy to key you in on. As an aficionado of wine shops, I could easily tell I would like Coastal Vino and having a guy like David in your back pocket for recommendations is golden! I wish I was local because I would be there every week. If you are in the greater Myrtle Beach area, this is a great place to find fellow wine lovers and good bottles. Bottles seemed to be $20 and up. This isn't Total Wine ( thank God). This is a place for aficionados and aspiring wine lovers who understand that well made wine doesn't have to be expensive but isn't cheap. Coastal Vino strikes just that balance in an area ripe with possibilities. If you visit once, you will visit often. Cheers to David and his lively patrons!
