About the Business
Silver Dew Winery is located at 144 Beach Road on Daufuskie Island in South Carolina, United States. It is the oldest winery in the state and offers a unique experience for visitors. The winery is housed in a historic building dating back to 1883, originally used as a "wick house" for the nearby Bloody Point Lighthouse. Converted into a winery in the mid-1900s by Arthur "Papy" Burn, locals affectionately named it the Silver Dew Winery. The winery produces wine from grapes, scuppernong, pears, elderberries, and other fruits. The institution also offers tours for visitors to learn about its history and wine-making process.
In addition to the winery, visitors can explore the Bloody Point Lighthouse, located at the southern tip of Daufuskie Island. Built in 1883, the lighthouse has a unique design and played a vital role in guiding ships safely into the channel. The lighthouse is a two-story building with a front light located in a dormer window and a rear range light tower. It is a significant historical landmark on the island.
Freeport Marina serves as the gateway to Daufuskie Island for most visitors, offering easy access to the island and its attractions. Visitors can also explore the colorful cottages of Daufuskie available for rent on Airbnb. Daufuskie Island is a beautiful destination with rich history and unique experiences for tourists to enjoy.

"The best! The staff is very knowledgeable and their hospitality is outstanding! Selections for everyone. Highly recommend spending a few hours touring and visiting the lighthouse museum for an enlightening experience! 5+++++ stars"
"After an otherwise wonderful trip to the island, we really wish we hadn't stopped here. We are traveling so we had our well-behaved dog with us. We were immediately told she couldn't be in the building (the only building she hadn't been allowed in on the island) unless she was held (45 lb Aussie), so my husband said ok and took her out. I followed and we walked around the yard area and my dog stopped to do her business. Being responsible pet owners, we bagged it and began looking for a trash receptacle. I told my husband I wanted to look at the museum side of things so I went back inside. Within a couple of minutes I hear a commotion outside and see the girl working behind the counter in the store is now outside yelling at my husband, and an older woman inside is saying he is putting dog poop on my golf cart. I said I don't think so, and she said yes he is! I walk outside to find out the older woman was the girl in the shop's mother. There were literally NO trash cans outside on the entire property. My husband saw the non-visitor golf cart and correctly assumed since it was already piled high with bags of garbage, that it would be an appropriate place for the tied-off bag of poop. The girl was yelling at my husband that her mom was 'doing a dump run', but don't put it in her cart... wow..."
"Fun gifts and wines. Historic winery. People are so friendly . Near the beach."
"A winery is a small part of your experience. Is a lighthouse. Also an eagles nest there you can see them growing the grapes walk around the property. The exhibits in the house are really neat"
"The oldest winery in South Carolina. So worth the trip to Daufuskie Island. Tasted 3 wines. All very good and friendly service. The grounds were simply beautiful! If we had more time would have grabbed a few glasses and relaxed outside, but, we had other stops to make. Be sure to check out the small museum and gift shop. Highly recommended!"
