From the Publisher WELCOME TO CHARLESTON! It’s hard to believe we’ve arrived at the end of the year, but it does mean we’ve entered a season of fall festivals, outdoor activities and holiday events. In this issue, read about everything Boone Hall Plantation has to offer (including zombies) along with suggested local landmarks to put on your must-see (and must-photograph) list. Venture off the beaten path to Wadmalaw Island on the outskirts of Charleston. The drive itself is worth the trip with its oak-lined two-lane roads. Stop off at Charleston Tea Plantation – the only working tea farm in North America – for a complimentary factory tour and glass of iced tea. Then visit the neighboring Irvin-House Vineyards and Firefly Distillery for a rural atmosphere and a sample of muscadine wine. Check out our calendar for a long list of holiday events, markets and more to get you in the Christmas spirit – Charleston style. Don’t forget to download our free Charleston app for even more visitor info (Search “Charleston SC” in the app stores).

Exploring Wadmalaw Island Sip your way across the island tasting tea, wine BY HOLLY FISHER
The Charleston Tea Plantation is the only working tea farm in North America.
THE ISLAND AREA LOCATED SOUTHWEST OF DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON IS DOTTED WITH FARMS AND TWO-LANE ROADS WITH OAK TREE CANOPIES. A VISIT TO WADMALAW ISLAND OR JOHNS ISLAND IS A PEACEFUL ESCAPE TO THE MORE RURAL AREAS OF CHARLESTON AND A CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE UNIQUE ATTRACTIONS YOU JUST WON’T FIND ELSEWHERE.
Charleston Tea Plantation The Charleston Tea Plantation is the only working tea farm in North America. The island is an ideal spot for growing tea because it provides just the right amount of warm temperatures, humidity and rain. The tea plants go dormant in the winter and, come spring, shoot up 3 to 5 inches of new growth. Those new shoots are removed for making tea and then more new shoots appear. In a season, one plant might produce seven to 10 cuttings. The leaves are clipped and gathered with a harvester the plantation staff has dubbed the “Green Giant” before heading to the factory for the withering process. Through a process of oxidation, moisture is removed from the leaves. Whether you end up with black or green tea (the most popular varieties) depends on how long the leaves are exposed to oxygen. Black tea spends 50 minutes on the oxidation bed; green tea doesn’t spend any time there at all. The tea leaves are finally placed into a dryer, having lost 97 percent of their moisture. The entire process from field to completion takes just 20 hours. But 5 pounds of leaves only creates 1 pound of finished tea. Guests can learn all the about the tea-making process as they walk through a complimentary video-guided factory tour where they can overlook the machinery and watch the oxidation and drying processes. A trolley tour of the 127-acre farm is available ($10 for adults; $5 children 12 and under). The tour guide offers fun facts on tea and the plantation, supplemented by a recorded narrative from William Barclay Hall, founder of American Classic Tea and professional tea taster. Hall founded the plantation in 1987, establishing the American Classic Tea brand. In 2003, he partnered with the
WILLIAM BARCLAY HALL, FOUNDER OF THE CHARLESTON TEA PLANTATION.
Bigelow Family but continues to oversee the daily operations at the plantation and the development of American Classic Tea – the only tea made from the Camellia Sinensis plants grown on the plantation. The recently expanded gift shop offers a variety of tea products and gifts, plus complimentary samples of tea from classic sweet tea to raspberry or mint teas. The Charleston Tea Plantation is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday (closed on major holidays).

JAY MACMURPHY AND JIM IRVIN SHOW OFF THE NEW FIREFLY MOONSHINE.
Irvin-House Vineyards & Firefly Distillery For tea with a kick, head just down the road to the home of Irvin-House Vineyards and the Firefly Distillery – home of the Sweet Tea Vodka made with tea from the neighboring Charleston Tea Plantation. Irvin-House Vineyards produces five wines from the muscadine grapes grown on the property. It is the only vineyard and winery in Charleston. Visitors can take a self-guided tour through the grapevines and get a feel for how long it must take to pick each one. The vineyard also shares space with Firefly Distillery, which produces moonshine, vodka, rum and bourbon. The vineyard’s signature product is Firefly Vodka, which comes in such varieties as original sweet tea, skinny tea, raspberry tea and peach tea. A lemonade variety is available only at the distillery. Earlier this year, Firefly introduced Firefly Moonshine – and it’s been a hit. Bottled in a quintessential Southern Mason Jar, the moonshine comes in six flavors: White Lighting, peach, cherry, strawberry, apple pie and caramel. A blackberry flavor is available only at the distillery. 12 TRAVELER ofCharleston.com october-december 2013
Situated in a rustic setting dotted with rocking chairs, a tire swing and corn hole boards, Irvin-House Vineyards is an inviting space to just sit and sip. Plus, leashed dogs are welcome at the vineyards. The vineyard hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including Sippin’ Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m. through Nov. 2. Enjoy food vendors and music plus Wine-a-Ritas and tastings. On Nov. 9, the vineyard will host the Blessing of the Vine. A priest will bless the muscadine grapevines for the coming season and there will be live music, food and tastings. Visit anytime 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Wine tastings are $5 and includes a souvenir wine glass. Taste six of the 24 spirits at the distillery for $6 and includes a souvenir shot glass.

The centuries-old Angel Oak Tree is a must see for anyone visiting the Charleston area.
Angel Oak Park While you’re on Wadmalaw Island, take a slight detour to Johns Island to visit the public Angel Oak Park to see the majestic oak tree thought to be one of the oldest living things east of the Mississippi River. For centuries, the Angel Oak has grown up to 65 feet and mostly out (as live oaks do) to create a canopy of branches spanning 17,000 square feet. Some of the limbs are so heavy they rest on the ground. Over the summer, the Lowcountry Open Land Trust launched a fundraising campaign to purchase 17 acres of land adjacent to Angel Oak Park to keep the park free from development and protect the tree. Learn more about the effort at the land trust website at lolt.org.
Angel Oak 3688 Angel Oak Road Charleston, SC 29455 angeloaktree.org
Sip and See Tour If you don’t have access to a car or simply want to enjoy the scenic ride out to Wadmalaw Island, take the Lowcountry Loop Trolley. It offers an Island Sip and See Tour package on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The trolley departs from the Charleston Visitors Center and takes visitors to the Charleston Tea Plantation and Irvin-House Vineyards/Firefly Distillery. If time permits, the trolley might make a stop at the Angel Oak. Cost is $46 per adult, $12 per child and includes lunch.

The Port of Charleston is one of the busiest container ports along the Southeast and Gulf coasts and is recognized as one of the nation’s most efficient and productive ports.
Landmarks of Charleston Charleston has so many incredible sights to see, places to visit and beauty to behold, it can be downright overwhelming for visitors who want to soak up as much as possible during their vacation. So, we’ve put together a list of five famous landmarks. This is just a sampling, so for a complete list, head to our website at traveler.com/landmarks.
1. Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge – Completed in 2005, this magnificent structure is one of the longest cablestayed bridges in North America. Connecting downtown Charleston and Mount Pleasant, the bridge also has a separate walking/biking lane for a bird’s eye view of the harbor below.
3. Historic churches – Visit St. Michael’s Church at 71 Broad St., the oldest church edifice in the City of Charleston. The church is on the site of the first Anglican Church built south of Virginia. While downtown, listen for the bells of St. Philip’s Church at 142 Church St. They ring between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
2. The Battery – Stroll the eastern part of Charleston’s peninsula at lower East Bay Street to take in the Charleston harbor and some of the city’s most impressive and historic homes.
4. Lighthouses – The Morris Island Lighthouse on Folly Beach was constructed in 1876. Although decommissioned in 1962 because of the threat of erosion, the lighthouse remains a much-photographed icon. A new lighthouse was constructed on Sullivan’s Island. The last major lighthouse built by the federal government, the lighthouse has a unique triangular shape and can withstand winds of up to 125 miles per hour.
5. Old Powder Magazine – Located at 79 Cumberland St., this is the oldest building in Charleston. It once held the city’s artillery and powder reserves.
