Old South Winery, Natchez, MS, was founded in 1979 by Scott O Galbreath Jr, DVM, and his wife, Edeen. Dr. Galbreath, Doc, remembers helping his Grandmother Vick make muscadine wine when he was a teenager, right across the street from the winery's present location! Doc and his favorite cousin, Louise, went to the woods, shook the vines and brought their juicy bounty home to learn at the feet of their German grandmother.

Many years later, Doc decided to drink wine for his health and remembered how good Grandmother Vick's muscadine wine tasted. Edeen encouraged him to start another career in the city and come home from the farms, so they decided to open a winery that specialized in muscadine wines. They continued to operate the winery by themselves for 16 years, with occasional help from various family members -whether they wanted to or NOT!

TRADITION CONTINUES...

As is true with most things in life, changes occurred. Two of the Galbreath children decided to move back home in 1995- Diane (2nd daughter) and Scott, III (youngest and only son). Over the next few years, both Diane and Scott found their special niche in working at Old South. Scott became the owner and winemaker (2006) and Diane became the manager.

Scott, III, grew up helping his dad, Doc, make wine from the time he was old enough to pick a muscadine from the vine. He honed his winemaking skills over the years, through experience and education, to become the outstanding winemaker for Old South Winery.

Diane, too, has helped throughout the years, coming home during harvest season to assist since 1979. Knowledgable in the craft of winemaking, her talents have been better used to organize and sell the business. She has provided valuable input into many aspects of growing the business.

Scott's children love to help at the winery. Scotty, Dylan, Lane and Juliana are likely to roam the facility any day of the week. They're wonderful assets today and the future winemakers of tomorrow.
