10 must-do Grand Strand moments: Celebrate Duplin’s decade in North Myrtle Beach
Ten glorious years have flown by since we brought the Duplin spirit to North Myrtle Beach. To toast this milestone, we've bottled up a little Grand Strand sunshine in our limited-release Grand Strand Reserve blush. Get ready to experience happy seaside memories because we've rounded up 10 of our favorite, downright delightful Myrtle Beach moments that pair perfectly with a glass (or two!) of this special wine.
Oh that view…
Just like the memories we've made these past 10 years, Grand Strand Reserve is meant to be shared. The vibrant muscadine blend of sweet and bright notes captures the essence of whiling away breezy afternoons with friends and family on a balcony overlooking the ocean.
Easy beach day kit
Your sunglasses, a beach chair and a cooler packed with pimento cheese, Duplin Homemade Crackers and tumblers full of the Shore Thing cocktail is all you really need. Stir together Grand Strand Reserve blush, 1 cup of lemonade, 2 cups of sliced frozen or fresh peaches, a splash of sparkling water and just chill.
Down on Ocean Boulevard
Feel the irresistible rhythm of North Myrtle Beach's legendary shag scene! South Carolina's state dance started here in the 1940s and still grooves at iconic clubs like Fat Harold's, rocking since 1962! Cue up a Beach Music playlist and be young, be foolish and be happy at your own Grand Strand Reserve shag dance party on the sand.
Local shrimp done right
For a true taste of North Myrtle Beach, fill a steamer pot with fresh shrimp from Platt's, the area's oldest and largest family-run seafood market. Add Old Bay, sliced lemons and a splash of Grand Strand Reserve. Then peel, eat and pass more Grand Strand Reserve on ice with a splash of lime seltzer. Or go a little fancy with a Fried Shimp Cocktail rimming a martini glass filled with zesty Muscadine Cocktail Sauce.
Step back and relax
Discover delightful local lore and fun facts (did you know “The Notebook” movie was filmed here?) at the free North Myrtle Beach Area Historical Museum. Then reflect on this cherished place with a cool glass of Grand Strand Reserve on the patio at Duplin Winery.
A real Carolina barbecue night
Don’t cook on vacation. Call in a pulled pork order to Old South Bar-B-Q (don’t forget to ask for the classic South Carolina mustard sauce). Nothing balances the spice of the restaurant’s house-smoked meats better than ice-cold Grand Strand Reserve’s fresh grape and citrus notes.
Sunrise mimosa hike
It’s all about you at Heritage Shores Nature Preserve’s seven acres of serene trails. Inhale as dawn’s gentle rays paint the landscape in a breathtaking palette. After your hike, sparkle and refresh with a Grand Strand Reserve mimosa blending bright grapefruit and bubbly ginger ale.
Best sunset scene
Golden hour paints the sky while you sit on the porch, a glass of Grand Strand Reserve in hand. Or maybe you prefer to meet new friends around the fire pit as twilight descends. Either way, prepare for pure coastal sunset bliss at Duplin Winery-North Myrtle Beach.
Sip, savor, showtime!
Kick off an evening of music with a pre-theater wine tasting and tapas-style eats at Duplin Winery. Grand Strand Reserve adores charcuterie and any of Chef Tabatha’s irresistible cheesecakes. As you sip and nibble, you'll feel the anticipation building for a dazzling show at the famous Alabama Theatre, just a two-minute drive away!
Discover the Wishing Tree
Guarantee your next 10 years of North Myrtle Beach bliss! Explore the hidden gem Vereen Gardens with a wine and cheese picnic in tow. Find the legendary Wishing Tree, add your oyster shell hope and indulge in some perfect pairings: Grand Strand Reserve with creamy brie, gouda, sharp cheddar and Duplin Gourmet Muscadine Wine Jelly.
