Some friends and I visited Island Winery in Hilton Head for the first time today, and we absolutely loved it! 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! read more

I cannot believe I did not know this place existed on the island! For a very reasonable price of $10 you can sip 6 different wines of your choice. They even allow you to sit or walk around and play a few games on their porch while sipping. The staff is all friendly and knowledgeable too. A few days a week they also have live music which is a very nice addition. So glad this place is on the island... and apparently has been since 2005! read more

Very cute winery offering sweet and dry. I opted for all sweet and they were very good. They do some very generous pours too so well worth the $10 fee. read more

The person working on Oct. 15th in the late afternoon was very curt and short. Yes, we arrived 30 minutes before closing. The 1st thing I asked was if we could tast anything. She answered I cannot pour anything after 5pm. She repeated that several times to the point where I finally said "I understand!" I let my husband go to the bar to pick up our pours. We split a 6 glass tasting. He chose 3 and I did the same. She briefly explained to him what she poured but to him only. We were quickly finished well before 5pm. We even found a credit card and she did not thank us for turning it in. We told her it was our Anniversary and we were on vacation visiting the area. Silence. We quickly left. I didn't even want to purchase anything I liked because of her attitude. Won't be back here! read more

This is a cute little wine tasting room on Hilton Head Island. They offer a selection of wines made with local grapes and other fruits. They don't taste like the best quality wine I've ever had, but they were good. The prices were affordable and the service was friendly. The ambiance is also casual and warm. They have games/cards available for guests, so we had a great time meeting and playing with other guests. read more

Cute fun little spot. Mot of their wines are eclectic or sweeter in nature over all. The employees are friendly and willing to help decide on wine to try. Wine tasting was 10$ for 6 samples which is a great deal. read more

What a nice afternoon of lovely wines, good cheese plate, soothing live vocalist. Tables inside and outside. Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and the wine tasting pours were very generous! A bargain! Bought 10 bottles! read more

Our beach day was rained out so wine was the vibe. Glad we found this location, nice pours for 6 very different tastings. Cozy location and excellent service read more

Stopped here to do something fun after the beach in the afternoon! Wow, am I blown away. The service was amazing very knowledgeable ladies, the inside was cute and kitschy, and the wines especially the fruit ones were lovely. My mom and I did a tasting of 6 wines which was $10 per person. The lovely lady behind the counter gave us sheets so we could number our pours and tastings. There are public restrooms. There's indoor seating inside and outdoor seating on the patio! If your touring around Hilton Head or in the mood for a wine tasting I highly recommend stopping here!! read more

We tasted the Grenache and it was not good. In fact, we did not even finish the glass we were sharing. The atmosphere is very nice and casual, parking is limited. I hope their wines improve because it is always fun to visit wineries when away from home. read more

Wine flight was very nice. Very nice atmosphere. Very pleasant staff. We will return when ever in Hilton Head read more

Adorable and delicious little winery! We decided to visit as we were leaving a brewery and scoped it out. It was a perfect place for a rainy day. It is a very small establishment, nicely decorated and very clean. They have tables with barrels in the back and you just go up to the bar to get your tastings. It was five dollars for a tasting of six. YES!!!! You did read that correctly! I feel like they should charge at least triple of that, because they do give you a decent pour. However, they just like to share with everyone. The bottles are very inexpensive as well. My favorite was the Peach on the beach and then she made a sangria that had brandy in it. It was amazing! Very nice experience, I wish they had a cheese plate to go with it but it is a new place and they are just figuring things out. It is across the street from the distillery, make sure you get a designated driver, and go to both places! You will not regret it! read more

We had an amazing time visiting the winery! Nancy was welcoming and kind. She made our experience enjoyable and easy.

My DH and I stopped in for wi e tasting. For $10 you get to taste 6 of their wines. The atmosphere was great and we ended up purchasing 2 bottles of wine. 2 ladies poured wines when you approached the bar which was fine. A little explanation with each pour might have been helpful but we did have a printed copy of the descriptions. It was a fun hour and worth the visit while on HHI. read more

Friendly staff, good wine. If you like red wines the vintners blend was delicious. The blackberry honey wine was VERY sweet (not my favorite but ok), the Grenache was good too. The barbera and sourthern passion were not my cup of tea. read more

So glad we tried this winery on our trip! This place is awesome! The tasting is $10 for 6 glasses of your choice and the pours are generous. Their wines are very good, and you'll definitely leave tipsy. They have seating areas inside and outside. You can buy wine by the glass or bottle as well. We will definitely return! read more

My girlfriend and I stopped into Island Winery during a girl's weekend to Hilton Head and had the best time; it was the highlight of our trip! The winery has such a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, and the wine was delicious. Laurie and Tom who worked there were so welcoming, knowledgeable and very patient in helping us choose our "wine flight" which was $10 for 6 wines! The locals who stopped in were also a delight to talk to (shout out Jerry :). If you are in Hilton Head, I highly recommend checking out Island Winery. read more

Stingy. Stingy with the friendliness and stingy with the wine. No tasting. Period. I was told you had to pay for a flight or buy a bottle. Not welcoming at all. Never had to pay for a tasting. Usually if you want to try a wine or two before purchasing a glass most of the time the tasting room will do their best to find a wine to suit your taste. Not here. I was told to pick something and move along. Previously reviewers had so many good things to say but I really can't. Wine was just ok- warm which is not how you serve a sweet white wine. Inside was dark with high tops. Outside seating is cheap plastic picnic tables which could use a good scrubbing. Having gone to wineries across the country it's disappointing to see a local business not be their best. read more

Had a great time here. They had a pretty good selection to choose from for the tastings. The price was very fitting and you get a pretty good amount of each wine. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The little room with the barrel was pretty cool. Would def recommend if in the area. read more

We ordered a glass of wine and also the tasting. They explained each glass I tried and made suggestions and recommendations. Many of the wines I loved, and normally I only like one or two when I go to a winery! Service was fantastic and the prices were excellent. This place is a must try when in HHI! read more

If you're looking for something to do on the island besides golf and beaching it up, this is one of your few options! It's not a bad one either, especially if you like wine. It's located in a little building on the north part of the island. Looks very industrial, nothing special. The tasting room is pretty small, although they do accommodate and allow tastings in their barrel room if it's too crowded in the front, but it's more of a "get up and serve yourself" if you do that. $5 for a tasting of 6 wines. I'd say at least 1/2 were too sweet for my taste which pretty much determined my tasting. Personally some of the bottles were a little pricey for the quality, but saw several people buying which is great for the winery! The staff was nice but not 100% with it. It seemed like they were a little overwhelmed when it got busy and the one lady was just socially awkward and wouldn't even take a picture of our group or really even carry on a conversation. Neither of them shared much information about the winery, which is always my favorite part learning about the history of the winery and wines. Again nothing spectacular but if you're on the north part of the island and looking for something to do and are a little thirsty, stop on in for a bargain wine tasting! read more

If there's a winery nearby, we will find it! While vacationing on Hilton Head, we found Island Winery. This is a cool little place off the beaten path. They bring grapes in from around the country and make the wine here. Sampling is very reasonable, $5 for 6 wines. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. Fun way to spend a few hours! We bought a bottle to bring home too! read more

Super fun local stop! Loved trying all the options, the tasting was just a few dollars for 5 different wines. The margarita was our groups favorite! Love the atmosphere and the options of the barrel room and outdoor seating!

Friendly staff but we're used to CA and OR wines. This fell far short of that. Tasting fee very reasonable

Wide selection of wines. Many are well done and enjoyable. Unfortunately, we saw the same bottle of Nebbiolo we bought for $23 at the winery in Piggly-Wiggly for $20. On the POSITIVE side, their tasting pours were generous. They also had a special limited-edition Sherry-based hot sauce that was spectacular!! Final verdict: definitely stop in for a tasting flight. read more

Excellent wines! Found our island treasure. Great selections. Malbec, Joe's reserve and Peach in the Beach are some of my faves. read more

Nice experience. Nice wine and for $10 it is a great tasting experience. If you're in the area stop in for a taste.

This was our 1st time in Hilton Head and Island Winery gave a us a warm welcome. I really appreciate them taking the proper precautions due to COVID but still creating a fun atmosphere. The various wines were delicious and the tasting portions were pretty generous. My kind of establishment! Everyone was amazing and I learned how to pop a cork with only 2 twists of the corkscrew. The staff here were more personable than the wineries I visited in Napa in my opinion. Tip for 1st time visitors: Everything on the island closes VERY early so prepare to day drink! read more

We really enjoyed the wines here! The peach wine was fantastic. I do wish the experience would have been more interactive like other wineries I've experience in SC. We were given the options for the tasting and told to choose 6 and let them know which one we want. I would've loved to hear more about the wineries history and the stories behind the wines. Again, loved the wine but the experience left me wanting a bit more! read more

The Island Winery has a nice selection of local wines. The wine tasting is a good value and lets you select the wines you'd like to try. Highly recommend stopping by for a tasting and the cheese plate. read more

Surprised little gem on Hilton Head Island that is a nice venue for wine lovers. Came in for a tasting and decided to try a few of the varieties and had the distinct pleasure of trying the Reisling, Vintners Blend, Harvest White, and the Sea Island White. Overall, I was impressed with the quality and blends of the wine, especially as many of the varieties were based upon muscadine grapes that are native to the region. My favorite was the Harvest White, as it was not as sweet as the other varieties, but still displayed a great body. Although not the very best of the wines that I have tried at a vineyard, this was very, very good and should be a place that you visit when on the island and/or visiting. read more

I absolutely love this place. It's so much fun and makes for a fun outing. I try to stop by every time I'm in the area. The wines are good. A tasting is $10 for 6 wines with a generous pour. They also have some fun fruity wines. I love the artwork on the bottles. It's worth the stop. read more

The wine is good. The staff seemed socially awkward . The woman was standing there staring at me as I tasted the wines. I kept making conversation with her because she was just silently looking at me the whole time. We went there intending to sit down with glasses of wine and a cheese plate. She didn't mention that option and we felt as if we were intruding. I usually buy 12 bottles of wine at a time. Truth be told, we couldn't get out of there fast enough. We only bought 6 bottles. Advice for the winery: 1. When a customer walks in smile at them. 2. When they are deciding what to sample, ask questions if they're having a hard time deciding. (Do you prefer dry/sweet? Fruity? Full body?...) 3. You should also make them feel welcome by asking questions. (Are you from the area? Where are you visiting from? Are you enjoying your stay? How did you hear about our winery?...) 4. Tell customers about your cheese platters and the little room in the back where they can sit and sip. The more comfortable the public gets while in your establishment the more money we'll spend. You may not personally care about people but they should never get that impression from you. When we feel an establishment doesn't care if we frequent them we will go somewhere we DO feel comfortable and appreciated. read more

The aesthetic of this winery was perfect for pictures! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by someone in a mask and were very covid compliant. The wine was okay, some of the sweet wine was too sweet for my liking but loved the dry white! worth a trip while you're on the island. If you end up going , their sea island dry white is a must have! We bought a bottle to go. Also for all of you pet parents... the winery is dog friendly!! read more

Nice atmosphere and the tasting was cheap. Everyone in our group found a favorite. I liked the white wines best. read more

Sadly I have to rate this 2 stars- the wines were decent-we enjoyed the Margarita wine, however the customer service was the downfall. I came for a 30th birthday party of 10 people looking to do tastings- it did not say on their website to make reservations. We were discouraged from sitting in the main empty tasting room (although offered multiple times that we could split up our group if needed) and were the only patrons there except a table of six in the back. The woman working could not have been more rude to our entire (paying) party to the point where we asked her if she would just like us to leave instead of doing the tasting - she then went into the back room to talk about us to the other party there (in which we could hear because the venue was practically empty). If you are coming here for a large group I would advise you to head down to the brewery down the street where they were more than happy to accommodate us with great beers, food and conversation. The wine was worth the trip, however the service leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. read more

My husband and I stopped in for the free wine tasting. They offer 6 free tastes per person. I'm more of a red drinker so I choose the Reds. They had two wines made with grapes from California. The Cabernet and the Petite Syrah. They were just ok not bad not great. I lived in California so I am kind of a wine snob. Lol. My husband likes sweeter wines and he really enjoyed the Sangria and the Riesling. We both liked the Pinot Grigio and decided to purchase a bottle to enjoy at home. It was a cute place with a nice barrel room. You can purchase wine by the glass and they also have cheese platters. The service was friendly and you can tell the employees love what they do. I would definitely go back again and recommend to others. read more
