Sanctuary Vineyards Outer Banks Winery

The staff are very nice! Loved the tastings! If you buy a bottle of wine, your tasting is free. I really enjoyed the Blueberry, The Plank and Sweet Serenity wines! 🍷 George was very kind to give us a behind the scenes tour!

Wonderful experience here. We just recently moved to the area in slow season, so we did not need to make a reservation. But if you happen to be in the area during high or busy season, I highly recommend you making a reservation. We were able to taste two flask of wine. We went home with the “Frontin’” bottle and plan on returning to buy more wine in the future. Customer service was amazing as well as the wine! This is such a staple in the community and I’m so glad they’re here!

Great staff interaction. Outgoing and greeted us immediately.

Wine impressions:
Pearl: A kick in the peaches!
Shipwreck: Watch for the caramel corn aftertaste.
Dead men T.N.T: Gritty cranberry. Good.
Tempranillo: Reminded me of Windex...

Overall great tasting! (Tasting is free when you buy a bottle.)
We walked away with two bottles of "White Sands"

Just returned form a trip to Kitty Hawk, NC and this was the first stop on our three day trip. What a fantastic winery with wonderful people. We immediately felt at home and was the perfect start to our mini vacation with friends.

We tried every wine during the tasting and took home some of our favorites. They allowed us to being in our own food as we had packed some snacks for the trip. A lot of wineries don't allow this but we literally had this huge table to spread out and enjoy our treats while enjoying a glass of wine.

My only regret is we couldn't get back for any of the evening music which would have been so enjoyable. This place will be on our list every time we come to OBX.

Thank you!!

We went just looking for a Sunday afternoon excursion from the beach. Were very pleasantly surprised. All the wines we tasted (dry whites and reds) were awesome! The gentlemen who was working there was very cordial and informative. He even took us in the back to see the wine barrels and explained some about the wine-making process. We bought several bottles to go, and will definitely be back for more.

The wine was delicious and the staff were amazing. Cute & cozy tasting room with nice live music. We loved our experience & bought 3 bottles 😍

Nice vineyard with friendly staff. Thursday nights for the spring/summer they have live music and a food truck. The food was delicious. They have a nice outdoor seating area as well as adequate indoor seating if the weather is poor. Cute little gift shop inside.

Gorgeous vineyard! Stunning grounds, beautiful tasting room and indoor space, fabulous wine, first-class staff. They offer all sorts of wonderful events year round, and the entire enterprise is extremely welcoming and inviting. It's a must-visit in the Outer Banks.

Elton sends his love and gratitude to you all. We are blown away by the love you have given to us. Friend me to keep in touch. Elton feels humbled and incredulous of your responses this weekend.

I had a great time at their Crabdaddy Wine festival. The music & food was great! I really enjoyed the wine as well. Everyone was really nice only prob was 1 bathroom so just don’t wait until the last minute to go. They also had a hayride that was cool.

Stopped in for a special music night they were having. Picked up some excellent BBQ at a food truck and enjoyed some great music by Mercy Creek. Weeping Radis Brewery also was there selling some of their craft beers. Lots of outdoor picnic tables with great views of the stage. Also picked up some tasty wines. Check this place out on a Thursday or Saturday night!!

Great wine and great staff! Definitely worth the stop to/from OBX! Cute little gift shop, excellent selection and beautiful views on the porch to just sit, sip & enjoy!

Just happened to see the sign for this place and decided to give it a try. We were on our way to OBX. Elton was friendly, knowledgeable and even interacted with our 14 month old daughter. We were happy with our visit and discovered the tasting was free! We did buy a bottle of The Plank.

Always a pleasure visit the Sanctuary Vineyards. The drive is so nice and the place is just a great place to relax and drink some awesome wine. They also do the Crab Daddy which the best all you can eat crab event. I love this place and can't wait to go back.

Lovely spot, came back for the good quality wine 🍷, they offer free tastings, you will always find “the one”.

A wonderful place thanks for letting us jam loud!! I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the flavors of all the wines I tried there today. So luck to have a place like this in our community!!!

Great staff & lovely wines. Want to make a return visit when I have more time. Enjoyed & purchased the Rosé. Tasting is a bit different with Covid though.

Their policy about applying tasting fee to purchase is absolutely fair, their prices are reasonable, and the staff are very knowledgeable. Delicious wines, especially their sparkling rose and blackberry wines! Do not miss, even just for a quick stop!
