Love this place. Solid selection of wines, ciders, and hard seltzers -- some of which you won't find anywhere else, which makes this place a must-visit in my opinion. The owner of this place is super nice and helpful and also a great musician. Don't be surprised if you walk in to him jamming away on the guitar (but don't worry, he'll drop the beat to help you with anything you need). I'm not a cigar person but if you are, the selection here is pretty robust and has something for everyone. If you're waiting on a table at North Banks and want something to wet your whistle with, stop in here and peruse the cold beverage options in the refrigerator and pop open a bottle of wine or seltzer at a nearby picnic table (I'm not actually sure this is technically legal but forgiveness not permission, right?). read more

Staying in Corolla, and needed some cigars. Nice walk in collection and many varieties to choose from. Low, middle, and higher priced cigars available. Proprietor asked if I needed help. Good experience! read more

Here's a pro-tip - if you're shopping with family, you can grab a walk-around beer from here! Their selection is actually really good. Lots of beers and wines as well! The dude at the counter is super chill. They also sell water bongs. For tobacco use only, I assume. read more

During my vacation, I attended the the Wednesday wine tasting. I had an amazing experience and received excellent service. The husband, wife and mother-n-law were so kind. I ended up buying 3 bottles of Coopers and Thief's!!!! read more

Drove 30 minutes to get cigars based on the reviews. Got there only to find out that their online information was completely incorrect and that they were closed. read more

The very best wine and beer selection in the Outer Banks. Ken and his team are knowledgeable about craft beer and fine wine, and his team ensure customer service is their top priority. BTW, they have an awesome humidor too. read more

Aroma as you enter this little shop was inviting, but you go to the humidor room where they keep the cigars and its close to being bare. It was a small room, Hopefully this is because of the "season " coming to a close and they are just trying to get the remaining cigars out. I say no more than 3 people can fit in there, so me being a big guy it was tight quarters almost. The wine selections they have are good, some great selections to choose from, I went with a beautiful Cavit bottle , of an ' 2010 selection. If you can't find the wine of your choice, there is a second floor with much more selections to choose from. Friendly service, great scent once you enter this establishment. I'd have to come back when the season is in full swing to see if the selections of cigars has increased with a wider variety to choose from. read more

As a previous review person wrote, this company still hasn't fixed the issue of their online hours being different from their store hours. Drove 20 min only to find out the online information they have is incorrect. So tomorrow when they are open I'll make sure to spend my money at some place that pays attention to detail and cares about potential customers. read more

This was my second year visiting this shop and the experiences were very consistent. I wandered in both times looking for a few sticks to enjoy in the evenings and, although the selection is quite small, tastes have been well represented. I am a huge fan of Rocky Patel cigars and have found them here (1 or 2 variations) every time. This year I left with a Nub Connecticut (new to my list of favs), a Patel Vintage, and a Montecristo (some Connecticut wrapper variety). I will say I found prices to be a dollar or two per stick high, but I don't think that's unreasonable at all. The shop owner has been friendly on both visits and even gave me some tips and suggestions on sweeter white wines (my wife's favorite) last year when I was in that were a hit! Certainly worth a look, but I cannot make it a 5-star strictly because of the limited selection - which I think they do a fantastic job of considering the space they have to work with. read more

Good selection, however very overpriced. Go to either the food lion or brew thru for your alcoholic beverages.

Excellent service. They went above and beyond to assist me in making a special delivery. I can't thank you enough. You really made everything so very special!!! Thank you!! read more

Terrible cigar selection. Essentially a gas station selection in a small walk in humidor. Reasonable unsocial staff that was more interested in discussing a concert than helping customers. I was particularly shocked to find that they were attempting to sell poor counterfeit Cohiba Esplenditos for about $11. I'm not sure if I was shocked because Cubans are illegal and those who deal in them stateside typically keep them under the counter, or because of how poor of a counterfeit they were. Had I not ran out of cigars during my vacation and was not in desperate need I would have walked out empty handed. I will wholeheartedly agree with the other reviewer and call this establishment embarrassing. read more

This is one of those shops that I have been wanting to check out in Corolla, but they are always closed off season. I had to stop in when we visited this last weekend. What a great little shop! Nice selection of wines at reasonable prices. Nice cigar room. Upstairs held a selection of candles and giftware. This place had some really unique products and I managed to get a bit of Christmas shopping done in addition to picking up some new wines to try. The owner was helpful and very friendly. In fact, he gave us his card and told us to let him know if we needed anything when we were down off season again. Bonus - we found some Orin Swift wines we hadn't had the opportunity to try yet. If you are in the area and a fan of wine and/or cigars, stop by for a visit. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

Corolla Wine, Cigar and Gourmet was our diamond in the rough. We came to the Outer Banks for a family reunion and really wanted a place to hide and hang out. I contacted Kenny through his web site email and he kept in touch with me months before our visit. When we arrived, we came to the store to pick out some local wine and enjoy a cigar from the walk in humidor. I was very excited to meet Kenny face to face, and when I did, he was gracious, helpful and funny even though he was exhausted from spending the day at the Whalehead Club for his wine festival. He let us taste a few wines he had left over/ open from the festival and we chose a local wine and a sweet red German wine to purchase. We sat on the balcony enjoying our cigar and drinking our wine. The shop is small, but has a nice selection of wines and his walk in humidor has a small selection, but there is something for even the pickiest cigar connoisseur. If you are in the Outer Banks and like wine or cigars, PLEASE stop by and pick up a bottle or two or three. Call ahead as this store does have seasonal hours. read more

Lady at the front counter tried to tell my 18 year old cousin that he was not old enough to go in the humidor. Even though he had his licence out and handed IIT to her as soon as he entered the shop. She then argued with him for a good five minutes that he was not old enough to go in and even went so far as to say that he wouldn't be 18 until September. Even though he will be 19 this year. She finally just told him to go in. I tried to show her my licence to prove I was old enough also and she said why bother because she knew I was just gonna wine about it like my cousin did. Even though I'm 20 so there wouldn't have been any confusion. Its a terrible place to go and I will never be going back. read more

Guy at counter was extremely helpful/nice, gave great cigar tips. Cigar selection was small but had some great sticks to choose from. Not super overpriced like I was expecting it to be (being at the beach). I will gladly go back again one day. read more

Good wine selection. Separate room for beers and had some selections not available at other gourmet beer/wine stores in Duck. Worker was not overly friendly. Hard to compare beach stores like this, to those back in Northern Virginia as they never really measure up unless the store workers are friendly. Selection was great for an OBX store. read more

This place is amazing! If you're looking for something exotic and different and there's a need for party materials, this is the place. Kenny and Mary are awesome. The wine wine and cigar collection is the best i've seen. A must visit if you're in Corolla in season. read more

Came in to check out the cigar selection with my driver's license in hand to prove I was old enough to purchase tobacco. The woman behind the counter handed it back to he and told me I couldn't enter the humidor because I was underage, even though my license explicitly states that this is untrue. This started a hopeless argument that went on for much longer than it should have. This type of incompetence is unacceptable, and they have lost my and my family's business as a result. Make the trip to Cigarette City in Kitty Hawk instead. The selection is better and you won't be harassed for expressing a desire to buy their products. read more
