The venue boasts old-world whimsy with a wall fresco, crystal chandelier, and fireplace in the upper room with soft seating and bistro tops. The lower room offers a bar and community tables, alongside a \u201cbuild-your-own board\u201d space featuring charcuterie, artisanal cheeses, olives, crackers, and a host of other goodies. They offer guests a selection of small crocks and a variety of wood boards to create the perfect setup. They are also considering additional small bite selections; stay tuned! The lower room houses a beautiful array of bottles you\u2019ll definitely want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can build your own board with a host of goodies\u2014crackers and crisps like Divina Mini Toasts, Mantova Rosemary Crackers, Dolcetto Olive Oil Sea Salt Crackers, and Gris D\u2019or Breadsticks; meats like Delano Sweet Soppressata and Delano Genoa Salami; and assorted cheeses, like Smoked Gouda and Mozzarella, Dill Havarti, Brie, Honey Sriracha Gouda, and others. There are also other accompaniments, like fig spread, honey, hummus, and olives. You\u2019ll be sure to find plenty of items to create a wonderful board to accompany your wine selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently I\u2019ve been educating myself and putting in an effort to embrace the \u201cslow living movement\u201d. Whether it\u2019s a relaxing day on the water, immersing myself in a great book with a cup of Earl Grey, or lighting a candle for dinner\u2026 Simply slowing down, unplugging for a moment, and being present is the goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Cellar offers the perfect, cozy environment to enjoy \u201cslow living\u201d and get lost in easy conversation with others. I look forward to visiting during one of their tasting events, discovering a new wine and learning how the early winter affected the harvest of the particular region\u2014producing a grape that differed from the warm fall seasons of years prior. I am truly intrigued by the impact of weather and soil conditions on a grape\u2019s profile and the result that decorates my glass with beautiful legs and subtle notes that speak volumes about the grape\u2019s life on the vine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that some of the best varietals are born from a stressful season where the vines struggled with drought and harsh conditions? Interesting, right? While the vineyard may have had a reduced harvest in a stressful year, the end result can be pure magic, which is why some years are highly prized by collectors. Even the age of the vine changes the bottle over time. Old-vine Zinfandel produces less fruit over time. The mostly unprofitable harvest is a labor of love and true appreciation of the craft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owner Kathleen Jordan and her husband, Benjamin, wanted to create a space where people can create lasting memories, linger, and enhance their wine knowledge and appreciation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWine brings people together. They have meaningful conversations and connect with one another,\u201d Kathleen shares their vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe love to introduce new regions and varietals to patrons. We make exceptional wine approachable and break down the barriers that can sometimes feel intimidating \u2026 Our wine events are fun and educational,\u201d Benjamin explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery bottle has a story to tell, and we love sharing the history of the vineyards, the growing conditions\u2014the terroir (soil), and the impact of climate on the fruit \u2026 The story of each bottle is unique,\u201d Kathleen offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wines are carefully selected from vintners who demonstrate extraordinary skills in the art of winemaking. Their craftsmanship shines through with wines that are charismatic and layered with exquisite notes, depicting both region and climate. You\u2019ll want to visit during one of their wine tasting events and take advantage of their expert knowledge. The events are well-suited for both newbies and connoisseurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out \u201cClub 1850\u201d and stay abreast of special events. The Cellar\u2019s monthly wine club offers exclusive perks. Enjoy preferred member prices, monthly curated selections, members-only tasting experiences, priority access to limited production wines and special offerings, and member appreciation days with complimentary tastings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cellar also has a little something special in the works, depending on interest\u2014they are working with purveyors in Europe to offer a member wine exploration experience abroad, where you can join fellow wine enthusiasts and immerse yourself in the wine culture of the region. The first event will likely be an exploration of the stunning hilltop Tuscan village of Montepulciano. Yes, please!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the welcoming, relaxed space, linger with friends over a bottle, and immerse yourself in the slow-living trend. Or plan your next celebration in the gorgeous venue\u2014reach out to Kathleen for reservations. Whether it\u2019s an impromptu visit, a date night excursion, a girls\u2019 weekend stop, or a planned event, you\u2019ll find yourself falling in love with The Cellar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pawleys Island and the surrounding area are the lucky beneficiaries of this elevated space\u2014boasting a European flair in an atmosphere that blends wine culture and connection beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
