Known as the oldest operating winery in the state of North Carolina, and producing roughly 450,000 cases of wine every year, Duplin Winery is an iconic destination that’s a little out of the way, but well worth the trip for wine and food fans. With a home base in the small town of Rose Hill, complete with a tasting room, tours, and an on-site bistro, wine lovers can make a full afternoon exploration of this spot where great taste is complimentary with every visit.

Duplin Winery is located just off of I-40 and is roughly an hour or so away from popular North Carolina communities like New Bern and Wilmington. Despite its out-of-the-way locale, however, the winery is brimming with activity and offers regular tours of the grounds as well as tastings of their beloved and / or special varieties. The on-site Bistro at Rose Hill has an innovative menu that complements the different wines available, and visitors are welcome to linger, enjoy a glass or two, and take in the scenic and slightly inland North Carolina surroundings. With a well-recognized name and a reputation for making the most out of coastal Muscadine grapes, Duplin Winery is a unique landmark that’s worth the trek.
