What you'll see and do
Sanctuary Vineyards
The Vineyard Voyage departs the quaint Outer Banks community of Duck and crosses scenic Currituck Sound by boat to Sanctuary Vineyards. Upon arrival at a historic hunting lodge boathouse you begin the overland part of the voyage in an air conditioned van. Sanctuary Vineyards is located in an area rich in waterfowl heritage and farming which dates back to the 1800s. You’ll travel through the marsh and cross agriculture fields to reach the 33 acres of viniferous grapes. Once you arrive at the vineyard, you’ll get a behind the scenes tour of the winery and receive a private wine tasting. Learn the vine-to-glass process, smell the French oak barrels and meet the master winemakers behind this intriguing process. Sanctuary Vineyards produces over 7,000 cases of wine seasonally and has won over 100 accolades for their award winning wines. Make reservations early, this tour sells out frequently!

Sanctuary Winery experience was a blast!
We had a wonderful time! The boat ride was great with Jordan. He had rain ponchos due to a rainy forecast and played great music to sing along. He was helpful and very friendly. Sanctuary Winery is a sweet local winery with a cute building for sipping and tasting along with shopping. They had many wines to choose from.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the kind words!! Let's do it again sometime!!

Boat ride & wine tour
A great (but wet) boat ride across the Sound. It was fun. Wine tour & tasting was great. Boat ride was great for us ( we are life long boaters). FYI a small open boat.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the kind words!! Unfortunately those flat bottom skiffs are wet and rough riding boats. But we need those hull designs to get in and out of the shallow waters as you saw. Thanks for the kind words!! Let's do it again sometime!!

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Wine Tasting And Boat Ride: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Outer Banks.
How much does Wine Tasting And Boat Ride cost?
+
Prices start at $109 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Outer Banks usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Wine Tasting And Boat Ride take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Outer Banks is not rushed.
Is Wine Tasting And Boat Ride worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Outer Banks, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Wine Tasting And Boat Ride?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Wine Tasting And Boat Ride suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Wine Tasting And Boat Ride?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Outer Banks can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Outer Banks and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Wine Tasting And Boat Ride start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Outer Banks within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Outer Banks?
+
The Outer Banks sells wild horse 4x4 tours in Corolla, lighthouse visits, kiteboarding and hang gliding at Jockey's Ridge, dolphin cruises and shipwreck dives. On Outty we rank every Outer Banks experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2-hour Outer Banks Wild Horse Tour by 4WD Truck, Manteo Historic Walking Tour, Alligator River Kayak Adventure. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Outer Banks?
+
May to June and September to October, avoiding hurricane peak. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Outer Banks?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
