My favorite brewery

https://www.cartecayriverbrewing.com Located 5 minutes from the house. Fun atmosphere, while hanging by the river. Great locally brewed beer that is a brother store to the Cartecay Vineyards. Live music Friday and Saturday nights. Sometimes they have a food truck on hand, but in times they don't, we pick up a quick meal and bring it there to eat with their delicious beer.

Open daily with wines humorously named after beloved family members. Incredible atmosphere and a lineup of wines to try that hold their own against established names in the market. Authentic family-owned charm. Worth setting aside the time to grab a glass and sit by one of the outdoor fires. Personal favorite - Sauv Blanc named after Jeanne and if your tastes lean a little sweeter go for the Sassy Georgia.
