Award-winning wines are appreciated in a lively tasting room or outdoor seating area in a peaceful rural setting! Old Rock Quarry Winery (ORQ) on its 3 acres near Enoree offers a laid-back informal spot to enjoy their hand-crafted wines and ciders. Kick back and sip away.

Not sure what you’ll like? Order a tasting or a flight. With a tasting, you can choose either 7 or 10 wines to sample ($7/$10). Comes with cool souvenir glass. Side note: not available during events (see below). Or select a flight ($12) where you pick 4 different wines to test (2 oz ea).

Wines are sold by glass or bottle. Their list is extensive, but I thought I’d highlight the winners of the 2020 Palmetto Wine Competition:

Hard Ciders

Love hard cider? They offer 5 fruit-flavored ciders by the bottle ($4.50 ea). Their ciders also won medals at the 2020 Palmetto Wine Competition including Mixed Berry, Spiced Apple and Raspberry Lime.
