Our Story

A Vineyard in Spindale?

We purchased the 15-acre farm in May 2013. It had an old log home and a tractor shed. With the help of friends, we cut back the overgrown brush and woods. In the spring of 2014, we bought our own tractor and planted a single trellis with various types of grape vines just to see what might be suitable for the soil. April 2015, we planted 8 additional 150' rows of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and two types of native Muscadines. By the following spring all of the Chardonnay & Pinot vines had died so we dug them up and planted muscadine. In 2016 we watched the Muscadine vines prosper while we worked to get the old log cabin and property ready for our son Brent & daughter-in-law April's wedding. Their wedding was the first held at the vineyard. We took a year off in 2017 while our home was being built nearby. In the Spring of 2018, we planted a second block of vines on our front lawn and add subsequent rows annually as needed. Today we are growing: Chambourcin, Chardonel, Petite Manseng, Petit Verdot, Arandell, Cynthiana, Diamond and two varietals of Muscadine Grapes.

In April of 2019 we began working with a winery consultant to get a license to produce and sell our own wines. Less than a year later we received our TTB in February and our temporary commercial, retail & wholesale state permits in early July of 2020. We have two estate wines that are currently fermenting and have since purchased some winery equipment and additional wine to get started from our friends at Sweet Home Carolina Vineyard & Winery in Yadkinville, NC. We had our grand opening In the Summer of 2021, shortly after opening we were fortunate to be able to add adjacent tracts 1.6 acres and 1.8 more acres of property to expand our farm to just over 18 acres. My Sweet Love Vineyard & Winery is now open Saturday & Sundays, along with a few other special occasions listed on our Facebook page.

The Vineyard sets adjacent to the Deviney Park on Greer St. Come in for a leisure afternoon visit, sit under the 100-year-old oak trees, or meet friends under the outdoor pavilion. We serve wine by the glass or bottle, & have wine tastings or flights. MSLV hosts vineyard and winery tours by request. Our wine ranges from dry reds, semi-dry varietals to country fruit and sweet wines. Visit our Facebook page for live music, food truck & special events @MSLVineyard.

For the last decade Tracy & Jamie traveled thousands of miles visiting hundreds of wineries throughout the Eastern US and Canada. During our travels we fell in love with the great wines, culture, hospitality, and views of their breath taking vineyards. Even though we have opened our own vineyard & winery we still plan to visit and support other wineries near and far. Our hope is that your visit to My Sweet Love Vineyard will encourage you to venture out and try other wineries.
