Depart the dock for an unforgettable cruise down Currituck Sound to appreciate the local wine and sunsets of the Outer Banks. The Vineyard Voyage departs the quaint Outer Banks community of Duck and crosses scenic Currituck Sound by boat to Sanctuary Vineyards. Upon arrival at a historic hunting lodge boathouse you begin the overland part of the voyage in an open-air 4×4 safari truck.
Sanctuary Vineyards is located in an area rich in waterfowl heritage and farming which dates back to the 1800s. You’ll travel through the marsh and cross agriculture fields to reach the 33 acres of viniferous grapes.
Once you arrive at the vineyard, you’ll get a behind the scenes tour of the winery and receive a private wine tasting. Learn the vine-to-glass process, smell the French oak barrels and meet the master winemakers behind this intriguing process. Sanctuary Vineyards produces over 7,000 cases of wine seasonally and has won over 100 accolades for their award winning wines.
After your wine tasting, you’ll make the journey back across Currituck Sound as the sun is beginning to set over the water. Admire the serenity of an Outer Banks sunset while enjoying panoramic views by boat. Make reservations early, this tour sells out frequently!
Reservations are required so please call or book online at least 2-3 days ahead of time to secure your spot!
