Behind every vintage of Duplin wine is a legacy of home-cooked meals. From the aunts and grandmothers who volunteered to prepare food for our first dinner theaters to the celebratory harvest ribs winery co-owner Dave Fussell Jr. grills for the team today, food has always been our way of saying "thank you." To celebrate Duplin Winery's 50th anniversary in 2026, we’ve gathered these cherished family favorites. Pull up a chair and join us in savoring life’s greatest blessings.
2015 Reserve marks a bold milestone in the Duplin journey. As the second release in 2026’s exclusive 50th Anniversary Wine Series, this blush was specially crafted to commemorate the landmark year Duplin opened its doors in North Myrtle Beach. The South Carolina location was the first big step beyond the winery’s Rose Hill, N.C., roots. A beautiful tribute to that pivotal season, 2015 Reserve brings together coastal memories and timeless family tradition in every glass.

Gray Fussell wasn't always sure that he wanted a career at his family's Duplin Winery. "Little by little, my perspective on Duplin began to change," Gray says.
