Please plan to arrive 10 minutes early to ensure a seamless start to your experience. 

Pairings are as follows in this order: 

• Sweet & Sassy: Spicy Duplin Gourmet pepper jelly over cream cheese in a classic Southern bite on our Homemade Crackers. Complimented by elegant Midnight Magnolia white wine.
• Meatballs Y’all! Glazed in the vibrant sweetness of Hatteras Red Wine Jelly blended with Muscadine Barbecue Sauce’s smoky richness. Paired with Hatteras Red’s intense fruit.
• High Falutin’ Kale: Tender greens, crunchy almonds and Vidalia Onion & Peppercorn Dressing, brightened with a squeeze of fresh lemon and hint of bright Carlos white wine. Served with soft-dry Carlos to highlight the vibrant flavors.
• Carolina Chicken Pickin': Fall-apart-tender chicken, slow-cooked in Sweet Bourbon Glaze and a splash of Queen Anne’s Revenge red wine. Then piled high on a fluffy Hawaiian roll. A pour of complex Queen Anne’s Revenge enhances the combination.
• Come to Chocolate Moment: Gooey, rich brownies with a kiss of Burgundy wine in the batter — and your glass — brings out the chocolate’s fruity notes.
• Fixin’ to Christmas: Fresh, juicy grapes with creamy Christmas Jelly fruit dip and sips of pretty-as-a-peach Sweet Poppy.
