Vin de Mer: THE tasting event

The headliner. The one everyone schedules their entire personality around. She's loud, she's yummy, and full of energy.

Vin de Mer is our most anticipated, most talked about, absolutely. can’t. miss. event. Because without it, honestly, what are we even doing here?

This is a slow burn kind of afternoon. Drift from table to table, glass always in hand, as wines and spirits flirt their way into your favorites list. Each pour has something to say. Each bite shows up trying to impress you. And spoiler alert: they succeed.

Nibble shamelessly on small plates from beloved Carteret County chefs and sample new flavors from visiting talent. Around every corner? Another pour worth lingering over. This is not a sprint, it’s a wander, sip, snack, repeat situation. Take your time. No one’s rushing you.

Vin de Mer is sponsored by Beau Coast Beau Coast West a Preston Development Company.
