Kennington Family Winery

Kennington Family Winery isn’t just a tasting room—it's a genuine invitation into the heart of upstate South Carolina’s wine country. Pulling up the gravel drive, you’ll spot a Tuscan-inspired building tucked against rolling hills, with a stone fireplace crackling inside and the gentle hum of live music drifting out to the patio. The owners greet guests like old friends, sharing stories behind each bottle and pouring with a warmth that feels more like a family gathering than a commercial stop. Here, the vibe is laid-back yet purposeful: groups linger over flights at rustic tables, dogs nap in the sun, and kids play while adults savor robust reds or sparkling rosé. Locals treat it as their secret hideaway for celebrations or slow weekends, while savvy travelers discover an authentic slice of community spirit far from tourist bustle. The landscape outside is all broad views and casual firepits, but inside you’re wrapped in small-town hospitality, where every detail—from event setup to wine selection—reflects pride in craft and connection.
