When you stay at the John Rutledge House Inn, you can experience our charming tradition of serving evening sherry.
In the South, evening sherry has been a time-honored tradition for ages. It dates back to the early 1800s and was a frequent occurrence after dinner to entertain guests. Sherry evenings were a time to gather with loved ones, enjoy good company, and savor the taste of fine wine.
