If a down-home festival with good food, excellent music, great wine, and a whole lot of fun sounds enjoyable for a top-notch vacation, then La Belle Amie Vineyard's Annual Winter Parrot Head Festival in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, should be on the top of the list for places to go—an all-year-round vineyard which offers the Winter Parrot Head Festival, hot spiced mulled wine, mouth-watering food, and great music to idle away an event-filled day during the winter months, located in the area's world-class vineyard with the local population.
A family-owned business in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, which began on the grounds of a former tobacco plantation, Uncle Gifford and his sister Berta made history with their muscadine grape wines traced to the south of France, with these very same grape wines thriving today in four large vine arbors, two of which are over 100 years old and two about 80 years old, still making grape preserves sold in the family gift shop. The original tobacco barn and a heart-warming duck pond give the area the characteristic setting it needs for the Winter Parrot Head Festival.
Quickly becoming a major attraction of the
Grand Strand area, bus tours and large groups arrive around noon to begin enjoying the Vineyard Café's cooking, assisted by the Smokin' Pitt BBQ--with good background music to add to the festival atmosphere. The latest giftware can be enjoyed and purchased in the vineyard's gift shop, with a wide variety of classic wine accessories. A tasting room with the many different types of wines is offered.
