Outer Banks Vineyard Voyage
LET'S GET SOCIAL:
#1 Wine Tour on the Outer Banks
What do you get when you combine Boats, Wine and Good Times? The hottest new tour on the Outer Banks!
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 4x4 safari truck. Sanctuary Vineyards is located on the historic Wright Brothers Farm, 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. Make reservations early, this tour sells out frequently!

"This is our new "must do" activity here in the OBX. It's a great trip across the sound to the Sanctuary Vineyards. very comfortable and fast. The wines are very good. Bring a hat and sunglasses if it's a cloud free day." -Matthew @TripAdvisor
"Our family signed on for the Sanctuary Vineyards tour, and it was incredible. Brian took us on a custom boat through the Currituck sound, and he was so knowledgeable about the area, wildlife, and history. Then, when we landed on the other side, we climbed into a safari-style truck and went through a gorgeous back road to reach the vineyard. Sanctuary's wines were wonderful. It was a great, informative tasting, and in all, there was something for everyone with this tour. Wouldn't recommend for children under 5, but otherwise, the whole family will love!" -corinaq737 @TripAdvisor
"Excellent way to spend an afternoon in Duck! The boat ride to and from the vineyard was beautiful. The time spent at the Vineyard was informative, relaxing and fun. Not to mention we got to sample 14 different wines. We will definitely do this again!" -lyoung4912 @TripAdvisor
"Best wine tasting adventure on the Outer Banks!! We took the vineyard cruise with a group of 8. It's a 30 min boat ride across the sound to Sanctuary Vineyards. On the boat ride we saw wild horses and ospreys on an island behind the vineyard. You take a jeep ride from the dock about a mile through the marsh and farmland to the vineyard's tasting room. At the winery we tasted about 14 different wines and learned about the varieties grown at the vineyard. Excellent tour and we will be taking this trip again! The captain was very friendly and very knowledgeable of the Outer Banks and surrounding areas."-JeremyJ @Yelp
