Sips, Small Bites & Starlite: Sinatra Night at Kennington Winery in Marietta, SC

Under a wide South Carolina sky, Sips, Small Bites, Starlite, and Sinatra is an intimate evening-event at Kennington Winery in Marietta, South Carolina. For two nights each September (September 4 and 18) the winery hosts the Synergy Twins at 7 p.m. for a two-hour program of wine, light fare, and live music beneath the stars. The experience unfolds on a gently sloping lawn bordered by vineyard rows and mature oaks, where low string lights mark a compact performance area and tables for a maximum of 30 guests.

The scene reads like a local celebration of place: small-production wines poured from stoneware or stemware, a curated selection of small bites, and conversation that fills the pauses between Sinatra standards and contemporary arrangements. Key features are the open-air stage, the vineyard canopy and the unobstructed night sky—perfect for casual stargazing when humidity is low. The property shows characteristic Piedmont landscape: low rolling hills, grassy lanes between vines, and pockets of mixed hardwoods where fireflies are common in late summer.

This event is distinct in the local outdoor-recreation scene because it pairs agritourism with live music on a modest scale: the winery’s capacity limit keeps the evening conversational and easy to navigate, and the two-hour runtime makes it an ideal stop on a longer regional outing that might include hiking in nearby preserves or dining in Marietta. For travelers who prize small-group experiences, a September evening here offers warm daytime temperature settling into cool night air, a short walk between parking and the lawn, and locally made wine that speaks to the soil and climate of South Carolina’s wine-growing fringe.

Practical notes: the event is 21+ and seats up to 30. Expect about two hours of programming starting at 7 p.m. Bring government ID for purchase and service, cash or card for extras, and layers for September evenings. If you’re traveling from Columbia or Greenville, plan a relaxed drive—Kennington’s rural setting rewards night-sky views but can be darker than town centers.

Why book it? For travelers who seek relaxed, sensory evenings rather than crowded festivals, this is a concise, well-paced chance to taste local wine, enjoy live performance by the Synergy Twins, and leave with memories of a clear Southern sky. Whether you’re mapping a weekend of outdoor stops or simply want a noteworthy night out in the Marietta area, this event pairs small-scale craftsmanship with uncomplicated, memorable hospitality. The program pairs the Synergy Twins’ easy swing and modern covers with a menu focused on charcuterie and locally sourced small bites, creating a social, low-key tasting that complements vineyard strolling before and after the set; conversations are encouraged, phones muted for listening, and hosts often circulate to discuss vintages and production methods details.
