A Lifelong Dream Realized
From Blythewood to Lancaster: A Local Success Story
Laurel Haven Estate Vineyard and Winery was founded by Blythewood native Jenna, who dreamed of creating the closest winery to Blythewood where guests could experience authentic Southern hospitality and European wine culture.
A Spring Valley High School and Columbia College graduate, Jenna planted 2,250 grapevines on 37 scenic acres in Lancaster, SC—just 35 minutes from Blythewood. Our estate features Crimson Cabernet, Vidal Blanc, and Black Spanish/Lenoir vines.
As the only winery near Blythewood with wine tastings, a farm-to-table bistro, event venue, and bed & breakfast, we’re passionate about creating memorable experiences for our local community. Every detail—from our tasting room to our historic farmhouse accommodations—reflects our commitment to quality and genuine connection.

I wanted to create a place where my Blythewood neighbors could experience world-class wine without the drive to North Carolina.
