The Cowart family has defied expectations on their Calhoun County farm since they first planted muscadine grape vines. Today, Still Pond is one of the largest commercial vineyards in the state at 180 acres.

Their wine tasting room is open Thursday through Saturday. Visitors can enjoy charcuterie boards and try from a selection of over 20 muscadine grape wines – rose, white, sparkling, dry or sweet – all produced in-house. Still Pond became the first combined winery and distillery in the state in 2012. They produce vodka, gin, bourbon and moonshine as well.
