As Spring rolls into Summer Greenville comes alive with culinary treats, athletic events, and entertainments galore. There is always something to learn or see (or eat!) this June, let’s see if we can help you decide what kind of fun you want to get into this month! While we have chosen some of our favorite activities you can get a more complete list of Greenville happenings at VisitGreenville.com .
Food & Wine
It is Peach Season and we all know that South Carolina has the best peaches. (Sorry
Georgia) We will be featuring our Peach Stuffed French toast topped with warm caramel sauce every weekend. If you decide you need to take some home, we can point you in the right direction for the best roadside stand or you can pick your own peaches at Fishers Orchard. You might want to pick some of their house-made jams, pickles, and honey while you’re at it.
Fireforge Crafted Beer is a small-batch craft brewery, a short walk from the Bed and Breakfast. The indoor seating area features vintage sofas and specially made tables, while their outdoor Biergarten has bright red umbrellas. There is always a great place to hang out and sample some of their unique beer selections. The weather begs for me to sit outside and enjoy one of their Lemon-Lime or Blood Orange beers. And of course, there is always a selection of yummy food to nibble on.
The Cook’s Station is a local store and restaurant for foodies and chefs. Their extensive selection of kitchen gadgets and cookware, decorative tableware, gourmet foods, and wine are sure to delight. If you go hungry, they have a small café with unique selections with indoor and outdoor terrace seating. And don’t forget their chocolates and caramel for dessert! They also offer fun cooking lessons each week (and of course, you get to eat and drink while you learn) so check out their class list for this month. The decision will be tough as you decide between Jamaican cooking, Pasta Making, French Macaroons, and a number of other choices of which will be the most fun. You also get a 20% discount on purchases after the class.

Tuesday, May 30 – Sunday, June 4: When you come to a Greenville Drive game, you’ll see the highly competitive High-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox and maybe even a future MLB star or two. But what you’ll feel—and experience—is pure magic. In a minor league ballpark crafted to resemble historic Fenway Park (complete with Pesky’s Pole and its own Green Monster), families spread out blankets along the third base line, kids wear their ball gloves in the often-realized hope that they’ll catch a foul ball, and the peanuts, popcorn and ice cold beer taste like heaven. This is our nation’s pastime at its very best—and it’s all conveniently located in downtown’s historic West End at the 5,900-seat Fluor Field. In this home stretch, the Drive hosts the Hickory Crawdads.

Chautauqua-Where History comes alive through performances by actors playing historical characters and answering questions in character. June 9th from 7:30 to 9:00 is a portrayal of Robert Ripley (who has not been to one of his Believe it or Not Museums). As a barefoot and bucktoothed boy who dropped out of high school, he went on the become a reporter who traveled the world reporting on controversial (and sometimes shocking) people, events, and places. His media empire survives today. On June 11th they will portray Nellie Bly, a stunt reporter, inventor (she has 25 patents in her name), and entrepreneur. Her over-the-top reporting catapulted her to fame but it is only a small part of her fascinating life. Both performances are under the tent at Greenville Tech, a short drive from the Bed and Breakfast.

Come to the Peace Center as they present another gem in their Broadway Series, 1776.

about our country—who we are and why—the same way again.
