Hey family! I'm on my way to the beach and halfway there, I see a sign for the vineyard. Since it's just me and I wasn't in a hurry I decided to stop by. I've been to a lot of wineries but this one has such variety. Whether you like, dry, sweet, or semi sweet, you are guaranteed to like something from there.
I was warmly greeted by the staff and I did a tasting. They have 4 flights to choose from and your tasting includes 2 of those flights. I tend to enjoy more dryer wines and I was blown away. When someone mentions Muscadine, I cringe because it's usually syrupy sweet. Their wines are not like that and what sets them apart is that they sweeten with sugar cane instead of corn syrup. It makes a huge difference. I actually enjoyed their sweet wines as well because of this.
I loved the fact that their descriptions are true to the taste. While I've had fruit wines, most of them only have a hint of fruit. At Cypress, you truly taste the fruit which is so refreshing and fun. It's very cozy in the inside and they have ample seating outside as well. It's a large space for hosting your special event. They also have live music on Fridays.
I had such a wonderful time learning a little about the history and how they harvest their grapes. I also had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Tina whom was very delightful to talk to. I would encourage anyone to check them out and give them a try. Indulge in a tasting so you can try more and they also have snacks on site as well. Although, I don't live in the area, I will definitely bring my girlfriends for a day trip with the vineyard being on the agenda. I hope you all will check them out and enjoy it as much as I have. read more
