Sip & Stay a While at The Red Horse Inn
Fox Carolina’s Visit to the Inn
In October 2022, Fox Carolina’s Access Carolina program visited The Red Horse Inn in Landrum, South Carolina to highlight one of the Upstate’s most peaceful getaway destinations.
Their segment, “Sip & Stay a While at The Red Horse Inn,” captured the essence of what guests experience when they arrive in the Blue Ridge foothills — sweeping countryside views, quiet cottages, and evenings that slow down just enough for a glass of wine and good conversation.
Located in the heart of Carolina horse country, The Red Horse Inn has long been known as a romantic retreat where couples come to reconnect, celebrate anniversaries, and spend unhurried time together.
The Wine Bar Experience
During the visit, Fox Carolina also highlighted the inn’s wine bar — a relaxed gathering place where guests and locals enjoy curated wines against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge foothills.
Evenings here often unfold slowly: a glass poured on the terrace, soft conversation drifting through the countryside, and sunsets that seem to linger just a little longer than expected.
You can learn more about our wine bar experiences at The Red Horse Inn and the special events that bring guests together throughout the season.
A Visit with the Alpacas
One of the most memorable parts of the Fox Carolina feature was the inn’s Alpaca Wine Experience — an experience that combines wine tasting with a visit from the friendly alpacas that live on the property.
Guests sip wine while enjoying the gentle curiosity of these charming animals, creating a moment that feels both unexpected and unforgettable.
The Alpaca Wine Experience has quickly become one of the inn’s most talked-about gatherings, offering visitors a playful and distinctly memorable evening in the foothills.
Watch the Fox Carolina Segments
Fox Carolina produced several features during their visit to the inn, highlighting the property, wine bar, and alpaca experience.
Experience It for Yourself
While cameras capture the scenery, the true experience of The Red Horse Inn is something you feel the moment you arrive.
Beyond the front gate, the pace slows. Open pastures stretch toward the mountains, the sky grows wide, and time becomes something you can actually enjoy again.
