Reviews of The Winery Mercer House (Winery)

Katrina Jørgensen

We had such an amazing time at Mercer. We came on a Thursday and got exclusive time with Shannon. We loved almost every wine we tasted, and got to hear the history of each. We were so excited to bring home some of the amazing wines we tried like Apple Pie, Blueberry Jalopeno and a spiced coffee wine. Would highly recommend, looking forward to slushy night!

Found this winery on google, so I brought my mother and niece here. We are from NYC and wanted to try a winery. This is a very nice, calming and pleasant place to be. No complaints. Please visit as they value their customer.

Great time, great wine! Shannon was lots of fun. Blueberry Jalapeño is da bomb!

While on a road trip, my fiancé and I stopped in at this wonderful winery on a whim. The place wasn’t very busy at 4pm on a Wednesday but that just meant that we got a one-on-one experience with the owner/wine-maker/bartender Shannon. He gave us a wonderful explanation of all the wines we tasted and it was definitely a highlight of South Carolina for us! The next time we come, we’ll be doing a tour of all the vineyards as well. Tours should be scheduled in advance, which you can do on the website! Thank you Shannon for letting us spend the afternoon with you, and we hope to be back soon!

The Mercer House Winery had a vendor table at the Lexington Wine Walk last weekend. I went with a group of 6 girls and we were all excited to try the Coffee Wine that Mercer House offered. We waited in line for 15 minutes or so...this was the longest line at the event. When we got to the front the man pouring the wine was so rude. I was trying to explain to him that I live right around the corner from the winery and I had heard great things about the Sunday Live Music, wanted to get a group together for a tour, etc. He basically told me to stop talking that he was busy and the line was long. The coffee wine was good, the sip that he poured me, and when I asked for a little more he told me to go to the back of the line. COMPLETE JERK. I have shared my experience with others who were there that day and they were all of similar opinions. If that man was an employee he needs to be fired and if he was the owner I will never patronize his business. I myself am a small business owner as well. I would never treat a client or customer that way.

Visited without any preconceptions and or expectations and that's how I would recommend doing the wines at Mercer house. You will likely never find most of the wines made here anywhere else. Some for good reason and others disappointingly. Definitely worth a trip to try something "different". Make sure to try the blueberry jalapeño and bloody hell mary. Both were excellent!

Shannon was amazing! His sense of humor was electric and the wine variety was incomparable. My sister and I drove from Augusta and were very pleased! I would recommend this winery to everyone!

Joelle Udelhofen

Amazing and delicious unique wine. I say unique because the owner as he explains makes wine like no other winery would ever attempt as his wine is not similar to what everyone is used to in retail. This delicious wine is around limited because he simply cares about quality and not quanity. Thank you for a great time we all enjoyed your wine especially the ancient wine variety.

Highly recommend! Their wines are none you’ve tasted. Shannon is a master at his craft.

Jim and I visited for the tour and tasting. Absolutely wonderful time. Shannon was the most caring and wonderful host you could ask for and treated us like family. It was a relaxing and very informative experience and the wines we bought home are great. Will definitely be back for more and refills.

Such a great addition to the Lexington area. Great wine tasting on Sunday afternoons.

We orginally scheduled for the tour for my Mother's 65th birthday but mother nature was not having it! Shannon and Kim worked with us and the weather and we quickly changed it to an indoor wine tasting. They explained every wine, what it was made of and what field it came from. They made us feel welcome the entire time. They allowed me to bring in a birthday cake for my mom and Shannon even took pictures for her to remember her special day. This was a wonderful time and everyone in our group fell in love with at least one of the wines. We are planning to do this again! Make sure you ask Kim for one of her wine smoothes....to die for!!! Thanks again guys for making my mom's birthday so special!

Our visits have included everything from multiple wine tastings with engaging stories about each of Shannon's creations (always fun), to an impromptu evening with fun folks that make you feel you just attended a well planned surprise party, to being the only people in the building and treated like we were long awaited guests. If you haven't been to Winery Mercer House, you need to get there. If it's been a while, it's time to go again. Wonderful owners, unique experience. Check their Facebook page for details and be sure to give yourself enough time to enjoy it.

Phenomenal experience! Loved the history behind the wines that was shared with us. Will definitely be going back and bringing company!!

I spotted Shannon pouring wine on a sweaty Saturday at Soda City Market...after a few samples, I selected a Cabernet Sauvignon, though each of his creations were delicious! I plan to visit the Winery and will update my review.

Andy Machemer

From the very first time we met the Mercer's we were treated like family, which is handy as we live close by. When you enter the bar area it's like walking into Cheers. Hellos around the room from old friends and also from new soon to be old friends. Fantastic job Kim and Shannon. Also visitors need to check out the floor!
