Fun Days and Starry-Filled Nights in Greenville South Carolina

 

From March through July, the town square stays busy with free concerts twice a week and at night catch a movie in the park.

The center of town is just a short walk from most hotels, where you can wander Main St. and window shop at artisanal stores, book stores and coffee shops on the way to your next meal.

From malting to mashing to distillation.  You can even pose for pictures with their giant pot still and become instagram famous.  

It’s a fascinating process, but even more – meet the team.  These folks love their work and it shows!

If you’re lucky enough to get a tour from Owner David Raad, he’ll help you fall in love with their process as they create just the right flavor for you.

And speaking of flavor.

If Benjamin Balaban is behind the bar, you’re in for a treat.  Curious drinkers,  ask about the flavors, the garnishes, how his mixes are so balanced and flavorful. 

 

Keep the Flavors Coming with Oil & Vinegar

 

Stop in and say hello to Oil & Vinegar on Main St. Owner Chef Veera Gaul who will introduce you to the flavors, aromas and blends of oilsl like you’ve never realized before.

As a dipping sauce.

As a salad dressing.

In your health shake.

There’s a lot of ways to enjoy olive oil. 

Taste through:  The fruity and robust Nocellara EVOO.  The deliciously oily Puglia.  The vibrant Basil EVOO.  The perfect to mix Mango Vinegar.

And that’s why visiting Oil & Vinegar on Main St. is so fun.  

Their tasting helps you fall in love with the magic and find a new flavor to take home with you.
