Swiss Terroir Wine Dinner

A meeting of biodynamic Swiss winemaking and the flavors of the Carolina coast.

Experience an intimate evening of exceptional food and wine at The Sanderling Resort. Each wine dinner features a thoughtfully curated multi-course menu, with individually plated dishes paired with distinctive wines selected to complement every course. Set against the coastal beauty of the Outer Banks, these elevated dinners celebrate inspired cuisine, exceptional wine, and memorable hospitality.

In December, explore the distinctive character of Swiss winemaking through a curated selection from Adrian’s, showcasing the elegance and individuality of Switzerland’s lesser-known wine regions. From vibrant sparkling and expressive whites to a refined Pinot Noir, each wine is thoughtfully paired to complement the evening’s courses and celebrate the unique terroir and biodynamic winemaking traditions of Switzerland.
