Breweries, Tasting Rooms & Bars
Among all the breweries, wine bars and tasting rooms of South Carolina’s Olde English District, you’ll find one shared ingredient: a good time.
Best in Brewery Tours
Starting in downtown Fort Mill, Amor Artis Brewing lives up to its name by focusing on the love of craft beer. Founded by two local brothers, the brewery offers well-crafted beer for locals and visitors alike. One of the latest offerings by the brand, The Print Shop (named for the former home of their label printers), is located just around the corner.
In Lancaster County, Benford Brewing Company is a must-visit. An agricultural microbrewery that offers family fun on the farm, Benford offers a variety of ever-changing craft beers along with a full calendar of events all year long.
Legal Remedy Brewing, Rock Hill’s first brewery, is more than a pitstop for beer lovers; it’s a place to sit back and relax while enjoying a beer and delicious food. There’s no better pairing for a diverse range of brews than mouthwatering menu items.
If you’re struggling to pick your next destination, it may be time to go to YoCo LoCo, home of one of the most unique brewery tours in South Carolina. The YoCo Tours (York County Brewery Tours) visit three craft breweries every weekend, while the LoCo Tours (private tours by reservation) visit any restaurants or breweries you want, both via vintage trolley.
Wine Bars, Tasting Rooms and More
What was once the former bank in Camden’s historic downtown is now Broad & Vine, a renovated space for adventurous tasters. This self-serve wine bar features an automated wine system with more than 30 varieties from which to choose.
For cigar enthusiasts or those looking for a unique experience, the Silver Leaf Cigar Lounge in Camden offers a luxurious and comfortable space to enjoy a cigar paired with fine wines and high-end cocktails.
In the heart of Fort Mill, Illumination Wines offers something for every palate. The urban winery and tasting room carries a finely curated selection of wine, wine elixirs, beer and charcuterie boards.
Live Music Breweries
You can’t get closer to craft beer excellence than the heart of Rock Hill at Rock Hill Brewing Company. If you work up an appetite, grab a slice or whole pie from Millstone Pizza and Tap House in the same space next door.
There’s a saying at Slow Play Brewing, also in Rock Hill: Life moves fast, play slow. With plenty of space for friends—even the four-legged ones—Slow Play supports a philosophy of enjoying the moment. You’ll savor their unique taproom craft beers and live musical performances.
