Outer Banks Wine University is where wine knowledge and fun come together.

Take a break from the beach in our groovy classroom to sip wine and untangle wine’s mysteries – minus the snobbery.

NO white tablecloths  

NO wine glasses bigger than your head

We pride ourselves on making wine approachable and fun for everyone. It is just grape juice after all.

Laura, our own professor of wine, focuses on "Edutainment" combining education, entertainment and making learning about wine a fun experience.

Everyone — from the beginner to the collector — can learn something in our classroom. And, if you already know it all, submit a course outline. Maybe you’ll be on the next class schedule.

"The Wine 101 class is a great class for beginners.  Laura made it fun and informative.  We learned quite a bit in the short time we were there.  Her choice of wine was excellent which enabled us to better experience the tasting techniques.  We are definitely looking forward to her next class." – Jenn W., NC

"I highly recommend going to a wine class at Chips Beer & Wine Market. The owner, Laura, conducts them and she really knows her stuff!!! I didn't feel intimidated at all with my lack of wine knowledge and learned so much. Definitely worth the trip!" -Deb N., MA

ACTIVITIES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY:

We are right next door to Front Porch Café, Glazin’ Go Nuts, paint-your-own pottery, and Garden of Beadin’. Bring the whole gang.
