Day-tripper – Old Town Bluffton

Rooted in more than 200 years of history and culture, Bluffton is what some call "the last true coastal village of the South." Just a short drive from Hilton Head, Bluffton's charm comes from a blend of historic architecture, an array of locally-owned art galleries, shops and restaurants and a stunning natural setting along the May River.

Local shops include everything from antiques and clothing to gift shops, home interiors and even a butcher! Dining options run the gamut from pizza to seafood and all are casual with many offering outdoor seating to enjoy the views.

If you're planning a trip to Bluffton, you're in for a relaxing, enjoyable day. The local Farmer's Market takes place on Thursdays. And, if you're making plans for the coming weeks, be sure to check out BBQ and Blues on Friday, August 20, where you can sample BBQ from some of the area's best BBQ establishments and listen to some fantastic live blues. And, on Saturday, September 25, get your German on with a Beer & Brats celebration.

Finally, don't miss a true local original, The Bluffton Oyster Company. Located on the May River, it's the oldest oyster factory in the state – operated today by the grandson of the original owner. Happy day tripping!

It’s Wine Time!

We happened upon a gem of a spot at The Village at Wexford simply made for the wine-lover in your life. Wine Times 4 is a wine and tapas bar (that also serves coffee and beer!) whose mission is to give guests the opportunity to indulge their love of wine while enjoying a taste, a half glass, full glass or their own personalized tasting flights.

The wine bar features the Enomatic wine dispenser, a device that's been popular in Europe for years and is a bit like a soda machine. Picture it: More than 70 different varieties of wine, all ready to go! Simply find the wine that strikes your fancy, insert a prepaid card and the Enomatic lets you choose how much you want: a taste, a half-glass or a full glass.

A taste runs as low as 99 cents up to just over $20. With more than 70 wines available, even the most discerning wine enthusiast will find something they love – and have just the amount they'd like.

For those who enjoy a little food with their wine, Wine Times 4 offers a delicious array of choices, including tapas, pastries, salads, quiches, sandwiches, wraps and desserts. With nightly specials and live music, we can't seem to find a reason not to give this sweet wine bar a try. If you've been, share your experience with us here. Cheers!
