Sip & Sample

You may arrive anytime between 2pm and 6pm but please leave 2 hours to fully embrace the experience.
The Outer Banks is home to an amazing group of specialty food entrepreneurs dedicated to creating retail packaged foods with the best ingredients and fabulous flavors, some of which are now available at select Whole Foods locations. We are gathering them together to share their stories, learn why they choose the ingredients they use and sample their products. Prepare your pallet to go from Brynne's granola and cookies to Nancy's pasta sauce and vinaigrette with a variety of snack foods in between, like Christine's Cheese Pennies and Lemon Lavender Cookies. Watch Kelly, our Chocolatier, hand dip your chocolate treat or try your hand at dipping. Then sample Crystal's homemade organic ice cream. From natural and organic to gluten free and vegan we have something for everyone. Discover the flavors and natural goodness in local homemade food made from scratch and packaged on your grocery shelf while learning what is in your food and what to look for on the labels. Select wines and micro brews will also be available (21+ y/o) for sampling for an additional charge (see select ticket prices). Children under 10 are admitted free but must be supervised. Children 10 and over need to purchase an "adult" ticket without beer/wine. For additional information, call Lucinda at 252-489-1167.
