The PERFECT way to spend an afternoon! Excellent customer service and delicious wines. Took home 3 bottles of the dessert wine...spot on! The tour of the facility was unexpected and informative. The women who walked us through the tasting was unforgettable! Stop in!! And then return as often as you can! Enjoying life 1 sip, 1 bite and 1 small town at a time. Explore everything!

We had a wonderful experience with Sanctuary Vineyards at the Duck Cotton Gin Tasting Room. Nikki made the visit memorable: she was friendly, smart, and clearly knew the vineyard’s wines well. She guided us through the tasting with confidence, answered our questions, and helped make the wines approachable and enjoyable. The wines themselves were good, and Nikki was fantastic. Her knowledge and personality were the highlight of the visit, and she represented the vineyard very well. That said, there were a couple of areas where the overall business experience could be improved. We did not visit the main vineyard because the website seemed to imply that advance notice was required, but Nikki said she had not heard of that limitation. Clearer website language would help visitors understand when and how they can visit each location. It also would have been helpful if the Duck Cotton Gin Tasting Room had a point-of-sale system that allowed customers to join the wine club and ship wine directly from that location. We were told that option was only available at the main vineyard, which felt like a missed opportunity after such a strong tasting-room experience. Overall, we enjoyed the wines, and Nikki delivered an excellent tasting. We may buy from Sanctuary Vineyards again in the future, but the customer experience would be even stronger with clearer visitors’ information and better purchasing and wine club options in the tasting room. With Nikki’s hospitality and the quality of the wines, Sanctuary Vineyards has a lot to offer, and we left with a very positive impression.

Stopped in for a quick tasting. There seemed to be a lot of rules for what we could and couldn't taste, couldn't stand at the bar, and the lady seemed a little spicy with me, probably sick of tourists lol I wish the tasting glasses were included! I will say all the red wines were great, some of the best I've had!

Took my wife to the Outer Banks for the weekend and stopped by this winery along the way. I did a wine tasting there truly enjoyed the sampling they had. They had several $5 flights to choose from and then one more robust flight that was $10. They however, wave that $10 if you end up buying any of those wines which we did. It’s just a great little winery to stop by and enjoy some good wine.

We've driven by this place so many times and never got to stop. This time we made a special trip just for this place, and it was worth it. Friendly staff and atmosphere. They've a variety of wines from their vineyard. All delicious. Great tasting red wines. They also have some flights that feature their own wines. Awesome place!
