A visit to the Firefly Distillery on Wadmalaw Island, just 25 miles from downtown Charleston, makes for a fun afternoon or relaxing day trip. Owners Scott Newitt and Jim Irvin opened their distillery in 2008, premiering the world's first Sweet Tea vodka, of which there are now countless imitators. This original flavored vodka brand is made using locally grown tea and Louisiana sugar cane, with all varieties being quadruple distilled. The Firefly Distillery keeps its secret techniques well-guarded and thus does not offer full distillery tours. However, Firefly does welcome visitors to enjoy both individual and group liquor tastings. Visit the distillery Tuesday through Saturday.

In the mood to watch an awesome sunset or sunrise over the water... just be quiet and take in the view of the passing boats and catch the site of the local shrimp docks, outskirts of the historic village of Rockville and passing boats? Head to Cherry Point Boat Landing. It's chill and a "locals only kinda know about this place" spot. While you are down there you can stop at Cherry Point Seafood shrimp dock (you will drive right past the entry) and buy some fresh shrimp straight off the boat.

Tickets for shows may be purchased online. A real treat while visiting!
