In 2002, I, Dan Smith, a fourth generation descendant of Daniel and Catherine, along with my wife Tina, returned to the ancestral farm. For thirty years the land had called and we could no longer stay away. Cypress Bend Vineyards officially opened its doors in late June of 2005. After four years of cultivating thirty acres of muscadine variety grapes, Dan and Tina Smith have decided to share their passion for these grapes with the public.
Our Wines
Growing the muscadine cultivars -- Carlos, Noble, Magnolia, Doreen and Triumph -- Cypress Bend Vineyards is taking the sweet taste of the muscadine grape to new levels in their eleven muscadine table wines and one after dinner wine. Cypress Bend's wide variety of wine includes a Cabernet and a Malbec.

Every Friday night we entertain our friends, as our vineyard becomes a true social event. Enjoy a bottle of wine and dancing with friends under the tent on Jazzy Friday while listening to the live band.
