Went for my first time this year and had a great time. Enjoyed learning about the different wines during the tasting. We also went on a tour of how the wine is made. Found my new favorite Duplin wine, can’t wait to go back!

Road trip with our 50+ group to Duplin Winery in Rose Hill. We had a reservation at the Bistro restaurant for 25 seated together although our group was 35. We were told they would only reserve 25. The remainder of our party made their own reservations and did not sit in the same area. No problem they were in the house. The servers were friendly and professional. They took our orders and answered questions asked. We were able to welcome our members and say a corporate prayer while waiting on our food. Beverages were served. One small table with 4 seated got their meals first. Everything was plated nicely and arrived hot. I ordered the Chef Special which was a three or four cheese lasagna. It looked tasty but didn't look like your typical lasagna pulled high with meat and sauce with noodles on the bottom. I didn't realize that it had meat which I do not eat. I ordered a Caesar salad and was satisfied. It was fresh and the salad dressing had a good flavor...also plentiful. I took the lasagna home. One table was delayed in getting their meals. Not sure if there was a problem. But needless to say all tables were not done at the same time...but we're worked it out. An 18% gratuity was added to each bill...not knowing and I didn't ask...most left an additional tip as well. After brunch our group shopped and several did a wine tasting. Overall everyone enjoyed the Duplin Winery and The Bistro. Several were interested in going back in December for the Christmas show.

The employees are super nice. We got there at 10am as soon as they opened and had a private wine tasting with just our party because we were the only ones there. Was amazing for $15. We were told stories about the wine and could taste a whole list of them and got a free glass of our choice from the list at the end. The only thing I did not enjoy was the $13 tour... It was only about a 10min long tour of one warehouse. And we weren't even shown the whole thing, only the front. And none of the workers were actually making any wine at the time. Not even bottling any of the wine. So we stood outside of the bottling room and watched a three minute video of how it's done. I'm just a little upset that me and my guests payed $13 each to watch a video of wine being made when we were all expecting to see it first hand. I think $13 would maybe be a good price if people were actually working and making wine in the warehouse while you tour, But just for stepping in the warehouse and walking around a few hundred feet and then being shown a video, I think the price should be more like $5 but, like I said, other than the tour, we had a good time with the tasting, and the employees were very nice! We will probably be coming back again just not doing the tour next time.

My wife and I stopped by for lunch with our 5 year old foster son. We're wine club members so we got our complimentary glasses of wine. My wife had the chef's special- grilled chicken alfredo over linguine , I had the Summer Fruit Salad and our foster had the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. One of the waitstaff stopped by and brought him crayons and paper to draw on( that was great!). Everything was delicious!

A must stop for muscadine wine lovers. The winery is easy to locate and you pass beautiful vineyards on your drive there. I parked conveniently right out front. I used the restroom and then perused the shop. The winery is packed with numerous items available to purchase and bottles after bottles of wine. They had more than enough flavors to choose from and all seemed reasonably priced (about $6-$20). I decided on a bottle of Hatteras Red and a bottle of Blackberry Wine. They do offer tastings, but I did not have time. We drank the wine at a later date and really enjoyed it. It had a good flavor without being overwhelmingly sweet (as some muscadine wines can be). Overall, we had a good experience and recommend this winery to others!

Great for a group trip. We had a timed reservation for the winery tour. You do have to drive down the road about 1 miles to the production center. No pictures allowed inside as we were walked through the process of making muscadine wine at the largest muscadine winery in the world. Our tour guide was informative and energetic. We learned a lot of interesting wine trivia. At the end we were given samples and a complimentary bottle of their best selling red wine. After the tour our group did a tasting. No choices. You get what is on their tasting menu. The tasting rooms are really nicely set up for a group. Your given a tasting notes sheet and catalog. With your tasting you get 1 complimentary glass of wine from their tasting list, conveniently redeemed in the very large gift shop. If you have never had muscadine, just be prepared for a sweet grape with a very unique taste.

We went to the annual Grape Stomp and had to stop by the winery. I loved the Myrtle Beach location so much, I became a Club Member! This location is slightly different and has a few more rules. Our group did a tasting with Loretta. She kept saying that she was tired and we had to rush because they closed at 5pm. This was not good service especially to the people who had never been to a tasting. In addition, the young lady that checked us in messed up. Perhaps, they were overwhelmed due to the crowds as a result of the Grape Stomp. Hopefully, next year they will be better prepared. I love the wine! But think I'll stick to the Myrtle Beach location.

We decided to make an entire weekend of our visit. Rented a place on the beach and was in town for the grape stomp. It was a humid and rainy day...I was miserable. It had nothing to do with the event, just the weather. However, even if the weather was ideal, I'm not sure I would've had much fun. It was a lot of standing in one line after the other for something. There wasn't a lot of space to sit out and just enjoy the moment. I doubt we'll be back since it was a 4-hour drive from Charlotte.
I really enjoyed visiting this winery on a Saturday afternoon. Me and my family enjoyed trying the 10 different wines through the tasting and also the crackers and homemade dip that came along with it. It was about 12 people or so in the tasting room and we all got a little booklet about the different wines and information on the winery as well as the tasting sheet with a pen so we could rate each wine. Afterwards we all had one drink ticket to redeem at the bar for a glass of wine of our choosing . They had some live music outside in the courtyard so we sat outside to enjoy our wine and music . Overall I had a good time here and would definitely come back.

If you like SWEET wine, you will enjoy this. I personally prefer less sweet. The tasting was fun regardless, and the shop has so many fun wine gifts. The Bistro restaurant attached has really good food.

Stopped by on our drive home from the coast. This was a convenient halfway stop for lunch. They have a nice outdoor courtyard that was very quiet on a Monday. We went into the winery to taste a few wines so that we could have a glass with lunch but it took forever for someone to help us, and the place was empty. There were at least 3 people working who were oblivious to customers. When I finally got help I was able to taste a few wines but I honestly felt like I was inconveniencing them. I ended up quickly picking the blueberry cotton candy wine which was super sweet but good. They weren't doing table service at the outside tables so we ordered our food to go inside the Bistro and got it boxed up so we could eat outside. The chicken salad sandwich was a little sweet for my liking.

Dennis does an amazing and humorous tasting. Great explanations behind the wines and different ways to use them. Nolan made us feel welcome to have another glass on the lovely patio and was very ready to help with whatever we needed. Ann at the register was very welcoming and made jointing the heritage club a breeze. Can't wait to come back!

This surgery sweet, poor man's Boone's Farm tastes like something that only a resident of a bridge underpass would enjoy. I mean, I guess it is technically a "winery" in the same way that the fine folks who produce similar "bum wines" such as MD 20/20 and Richards Wild Irish Rose can claim to be wineries, but my God. This stuff is absolute swill. To quote the famous "Australian Table Wines" skit from Monty Python, "this is not a wine for drinking. This is a wine for laying down and avoiding".
