Your Crabdaddy Adventure Unfolds Like This:

First, you'll catch the legend himself emerging from the Currituck Sound – okay, maybe not literally, but you'll feel that coastal magic the moment you step onto our vineyard grounds, commemorative wineglass in hand.

Then comes the feast that locals whisper about all year. More fresh steamed blue crabs than you can reasonably eat – seriously, I Got Your Crabs brings enough that even our hungriest customers tap out. Plus, Spare Parts BBQ smoking meats that'll make you question your life choices, delicious sides and an old school Currituck Fish Fry (while supplies last, because authenticity doesn't come with guarantees).

Remember that glass we mentioned? Discover why our award-winning NC wines pair well with everything on the menu, or grab a local beer if wine isn't your thing.

When you need a break from eating, join the Harvest Hayride through our vineyard or test your skills in the legendary Crabdaddy Olympics – featuring the Great C'Tuck Grape Stomp, Crab Pot Shuffle, and Crab Crawl Race (cash prizes included, dignity optional).

All while two bands provide the soundtrack to dance and enjoy a perfect fall afternoon. Bands will perform from 11:30am-2:00pm and from 2:00-4:00pm.
