Charleston Wine Co. Grand Opening set for Friday, February 4, 2022 – The City’s First Urban Winery

CHARLESTON, SC – February 2, 2022 – Charleston’s first and only urban winery, Charleston Wine Co., will celebrate its grand opening on Friday, February 4 at 2 p.m. The location at 63 S. Market Street will bring globally-sourced grapes from the best wine-making regions of the world to the Holy City. 

At the helm of Charleston Wine Co. is attorney-turned-winemaker Lindsey Williams, who launched Davidson Wine Co. in 2018 in the suburbs of Charlotte. Lindsey is proud to be a part of the 1% of winery owners who are African American. A native of Ohio, Lindsey’s journey is as exceptional and varied as her wines. 

“I’ve admired the city of Charleston for many years and couldn’t be more thrilled to bring the urban winery concept to the Holy City,” said Williams. “We’re looking forward to providing locals and visitors alike with a variety of unique wines and local bites in a warm atmosphere.”

Charleston Wine Co.’s menu includes over a dozen wines, each with a nod to the Lowcountry such as Market Street, an Italian Nebbiolo, Gullah Geechee, a crisp and refreshing white with sweet and nutty flavors, and Sweetgrass, a delicate Riesling with floral aromas. To pair with their wine menu, Charleston Wine Co. will offer charcuterie and dessert options from CHS Coastal Charcuterie. 

The innovative winery will also offer membership to the City Sippers Wine Club, providing customers with their choice of either two bottles every month, or six bottles quarterly, for delivery or curbside pickup downtown. Each bottle bundle comes complete with tasting notes and suggested food pairings. City Sippers also receive a 10% discount in-store, as well as access to exclusive wine tastings and VIP events. Charleston Wine Co. also offers shipping to most states, perfect for out-of-town guests. 

Charleston Wine Co. will be open 12-9 p.m. Sunday – Wednesday and 12-10 p.m. Thursday – Saturday.
