TRiO Winemaker Dinner Series: John Wright of Sanctuary Vineyards

Join us when John Wright of Sanctuary Vineyards visits us March 17 for our TRiO Winemaker Dinner Series. This series provides the chance to meet and learn from winemakers from around the corner and around the world. Each event will feature a tasting of 5-7 wines presented by the winemakers themselves and accompanied by a casual family style dinner.

For seven generations the Wright Family has called coastal Currituck County home. Much has changed since original settler Jacob Wright shipwrecked on the shores of Duck, but the family still honors the farming tradition established hundreds of years ago. Sanctuary Vineyards is the product of centuries of farming experience and a dedication to a dream producing world-class wines in Currituck County.

The Wright Family created Sanctuary Vineyards to begin a new wine tradition brothers Tommy and Jerry Wright (and new generation John Wright) are using age-old methods to coax the sweetest fruit from coastal sands.

Sanctuary Vineyards is located on a quaint seaside farm where you are likely to see rows of corn competing with Cabernet and migratory snow geese nesting among the Sangiovese. Ten acres of grapes are nestled among hundreds of acres of farmland and wildlife impoundments. Varieties include: Syrah, Tempranillo, Viognier, Norton and the classic Muscadine.
