Wine Tasting at La Belle Amie Vineyard
La Belle Amie is a producing vineyard located in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on 40 acres. The vineyard is part of the Bellamy family’s tobacco estate, which they have owned since the 1800s. The family name La Belle Amie comes from the French and means “beautiful friend.”
The wine tasting area and gift shop’s entry road winds past a historic tobacco barn and a duck pond. The vineyard is a popular destination for locals as well as visitors to the Grand Strand region. Guests are welcomed to sample their wines (dry to sweet) created from local grapes as well as grapes imported from other parts of the country.
