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 and Magnolia -- Cypress Bend Vineyards is taking the muscadine grape to new levels in their 16 muscadine table wines. Cypress Bend Vineyards is unique because the Muscadine wines made at Cypress Bend are well balanced and finely crafted, crossing the spectrum from dry to semi-dry to semi-sweet to sweet. Plus, Cypress Bend's wide variety of wine includes Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. Come and experience the possibilities of the Muscadine Grape.

Scotland County Golf
Deercroft Gold and Country Club in Wagram, for example, has been described by Golf Digest as “the best kept secret in the Sandhills.” Moving south to Laurinburg, one finds the Cypress Creek Golf Links, with 18 holes spread over 6.570 yards. Close at hand is the Donald Ross layout at Scotch Meadows, which has drawn admirers since it opened in 1938.
