Hear ye! Hear ye! There’s an exciting event you don’t want to miss this month on the Outer Banks!

For the first time ever, enjoy a weekend of wine, food, music, and history at The Lost Colony Wine & Culinary Festival! The Lost Colony Wine & Culinary Festival will debut on Friday, September 29, 2017 with a Vintner’s Dinner and continue Saturday, September 30, with The Grand Tasting on the beautiful and historic grounds of the Waterside Theatre on Roanoke Island, home to America’s longest running outdoor symphonic drama, The Lost Colony. Not only is Roanoke Island the site of America’s first English colony and our country’s oldest mystery but also the birthplace of America’s first English child, Virginia Dare. The only silent witness remaining to these events is the Mother Vine, America’s oldest cultivated grapevine. Dated to be more than 400 years old, its myths and history is interwoven with Virginia Dare and the story of American wine. Wine, whether Old World or New World will be celebrated on the site where the New World was first explored by Sir Walter Raleigh’s colonies.

Food vendors include: Basnight’s Lone Cedar Cafe, Cafe Lachine, Argyles, Black Pelican, Ten O Six, Ortega’z, Sugar Creek, and Pamlico Jack’s.
