There is something deeply luxurious about having nowhere else to be.

A quiet walk. Time at The Spa. A few hours that don’t need to become productive.

Leave a little room in your Outer Banks stay for exactly that.

There is a point in the evening when nobody is quite ready to go inside.

The light has changed. Someone has moved closer to the fire. The conversation has wandered far from where it started.

We’re big believers in that part.

A world of w**e, a table by the sea.

This season, we're bringing two distinctive w**e regions to The Lifesaving Station at The Sanderling.

On November 5, travel through the vineyards of Spain with a four-course dinner celebrating traditional Spanish w**es and the flavors of the Carolina coast. From sparkling Cava paired with Currituck crab to rich Spanish reds alongside duck and braised short rib, each course brings something new to the table.

On December 10, discover the remarkable w**es of Switzerland with a menu that pairs North Carolina oysters, sea scallops, fresh local fish, and herb-roasted duck with distinctive selections from Adrian's.

Two evenings to discover new w**es, enjoy good company, and settle in for a memorable meal on the Outer Banks.

Spanish Coast W**e Dinner
Thursday, November 5 | 6 p.m.

Swiss Terroir W**e Dinner
Thursday, December 10 | 6 p.m.

Both dinners take place at The Lifesaving Station.

This nor’easter is affecting different parts of the Outer Banks in very different ways, and we know many of you are watching conditions closely or reconsidering travel plans.

Here in Duck, The Sanderling is open and operating normally. Roads to the northern Outer Banks remain accessible at this time, but strong winds, high surf, and coastal flooding are still affecting the area. A Wind Advisory and Coastal Flood Advisory remain in effect for the northern Outer Banks, and conditions can change quickly.

Farther south, Hatteras Island remains under a mandatory visitor evacuation and is not currently accessible to non-resident visitors. Ocracoke is also inaccessible at this time due to suspended ferry service.

If you are scheduled to visit us, please check current road conditions before traveling and contact our team with any questions about your stay. We encourage everyone to follow guidance from Dare County Emergency Management, NCDOT, and the National Weather Service, and never drive through standing water or around a road closure.

If your Outer Banks plans have been disrupted, our reservations team would be happy to help you consider a stay with us once conditions make travel appropriate. Please call ahead before setting out for Duck.

Take care of yourselves and one another. We’ll continue to keep a close eye on this storm and share updates as conditions change.

Two chairs, an ocean view and someone you’d like to share it with. That's all you really need.

If your next catch-up could use a change of scenery, plan a fall stay at The Sanderling and leave some time for the porch.
