Little River family vineyard with 150-year-old grape arbors and its own muscadine wine; open Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from mid-February to November.
La Belle Amie grew from a family farm near Little River that the family first settled in the 1800s. Vicki came home from Houston in 1993 to care for her mother, Berta, and started a vineyard on the roughly 38 acres in memory of her uncle Gifford, who made wine here for decades. The first vines went in by 1995, more followed in 1996 and 2001, and the wine and gift shop opened in early 2000. Four old grapevine arbors still stand, two of them more than 150 years old, and Gifford's Red, a sweet red muscadine, carries his name. The wines are sold as Twisted Sisters Wines.
The regular season runs from mid-February through November, and the vineyard opens Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with tastings from 11 to 2:45. Admission is by ticket: in October 2026, Wine on the Decks on Wednesdays and Wine Down Fridays with live music were $4, and the Saturday vineyard concert was $12. You can add a wine tasting when you buy admission online; walk-in admission, when available, costs more.
Children 12 and under get in free, and guests over 80 pay half the online price. Pets, outside food and outside drinks aren't allowed, but food is sold on site. Glasses aren't plastic, so bring your own wine glass and ice bucket or buy them there, and bring folding chairs in case seats are taken. Most of the grounds are shaded, with fans in summer, and cash and cards are accepted almost everywhere.
Agape Farm South, a young lavender and herb farm in Dillon County with limited u-pick days, is about 80 minutes inland, so plan the two as separate outings or a long day.
