The owner/host was absolutely incredible--so knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He made the entire experience feel welcoming and special. You can really tell there's intention behind everything--from the wines to the story behind the vineyard. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we left with four bottles! This is such a great spot for a date night, solo date, or even a group outing. Highly recommend if you're looking for something unique and memorable. Will definitely be back!

I definitely bragged all over Facebook!

We enjoyed a tasting and sampled the various meads available. They were all good, but I definitely had my favorites and purchased a couple of bottles before leaving. We also enjoyed a flight and chatted with friends. The business is located in an old downtown building, which I love. There are also spices, jewelry, and other items available for purchase if you are interested. If you are visiting or passing through Ridge Spring, this is worth the stop. I will definitely come back to stock up.

Copper Horse Distilling is the perfect example of local business done right…read more Richard Baker is the owner and work horse behind these amazing products. He is a gentleman who knows his beverages and it shows in every nook and cranny of the distillery. The logo is amazing. Crafting the packaging was important to Richard and it shows. The bottles practically jump off the shelves and into your hands. I'd try it once just for the sexy logo and I'll keep buying it because it's delicious. The distillery is beautiful and the tasting room is exquisite. Stop by to purchase product and/or have a tasting yourself. Richard is a perfect host. They opened not long ago but have already crafted a couple of special Copper Creams for the winter season - Salted Chocolate Truffle and my personal favorite, Pecan Praline. They are planning on releasing a new spring/summer beverage too so I can't wait to taste that! To be honest I'm not much of a vodka drinker but a few sips of theirs made me change my mind. It's incredibly smooth! Richard takes pride in his work and only serves the best products that he will stand behind 100%. When I buy their product I know I'm buying the best and that love and hard work went into the process. Finding Copper Horse is the only difficult thing... it's on Huger Street behind Stronghold. Drive to the end and park. Climb a few steps and you're in distilling heaven. Product is also available in the stores too but you'd be selling yourself short if you didn't take advantage of popping by the distillery.

The owner is so knowledgeable and really takes his time to teach you about his products which he is clearly passionate about.

Highly recommend for a casual night out, a pre-dinner activity with friends, or just a fun weekend plan! If you have any appreciation for liquor, you will really enjoy your experience.

My latest trip to South Carolina was no different. Fortunately, in my hometown of Lexington, there is a gem of a shop (Sam's Fine Wine and Spirits) that has a unique assortment of local spirits that make absolutely fantastic gifts. There are multiple locations, but I visited the one on US #1. I was greeted immediately and treated like royalty from the moment I stepped inside. Granted, this wasn't my expectation by any stretch, but it is nice to experience it now and again. I purchased a number of moonshine samplers and a couple larger versions for my son and various friends. Prices were reasonable. I wouldn't hesitate to visit again and again. Thank you Sam's.

My husband is a bourbon/whisky lover and I really enjoy my tequilas and vodka. This place gives us a great selection and an inventory that stays full all while keeping prices fair. Recently we came in because we were dropping the kids off before traveling and we had to stop in for a couple bottles and miniatures as well. We found everything easily and the owners were patient with us as we hemmed and hawed over which items to purchase. The parking is convenient as well and the layout in the store lends itself to a seamless shopping experience. I highly recommend popping in for your next purchase of alcohol!
