Although Charleston has clearly been a media darling in the culinary world, the city has fast become a rising star when it comes to libations. It’s easy to see why – Chucktown sports multiple craft breweries, bars with massive beer lists, the Firefly Distillery, high-end cocktail bars, Irvin~House Vineyards, three soon-to-be-open craft distilleries and more.

The popular Charleston Culinary Tours took note and recently launched a Mixology Tour that introduces tourists and locals alike to some of the Holy City’s best cocktail makers.
