Celebrate hump day in style – even while on vacation – by enjoying a little wine and beer tasting at one of the most scenic spots in Corolla at the weekly summer Whalehead Wednesdays. This event that’s held throughout the summer months brings together a variety of great tastes from Sanctuary Vineyards, Vineyards on the Scuppernong, and the Weeping Radish Brewery that will make anyone fall in love with the local wine and beer scene.

These three purveyors of great local beverages are all based in the Outer Banks and / or Inner Banks region, and their wines and brews are a combination of local flavors and ingredients that will leave foodies ready for more. Held on the grounds of the Historic Corolla Park, visitors can sip in style as they take in gorgeous views of the iconic Whalehead Club as well as the outlying Currituck Sound in the background. A $15 general admission ticket includes entrance to the event as well as a souvenir wine glass and plenty of samples of featured wines and / or brews. (Please bring a photo ID if you are interested in purchasing a ticket.) A tradition with plenty of great taste, Whalehead Wednesdays are a favorite way for visitors and locals alike to cap off another sunny day on the Outer Banks.

Local food will be available for purchase; pets on a leash are also welcome!”

Whalehead Wednesdays are free for non-drinking adults and children.

American Pie

American Pie

Discover the best homemade ice cream and authentic made-from-scratch New York Style pizza the Outer Banks has to offer at American Pie in Kill Devil Hills. An Outer Banks favorite for lunch, dinner or a delicious scoop of scrumptious ice cream after a day at the beach.

 

It was 1978 when Eddie and Lou Miller first opened Miller’s Seafood and Steakhouse. As a teenager, their son Brian spent his summers working in the restaurant, getting familiar with the family business. After college, Brian and his wife Beth came back to Kill Devil Hills and began working together at Miller’s. Brian and Beth officially purchased the restaurant from Eddie and Lou in 2007. A few years later they opened American Pie together, and both restaurants now carry on the Miller family tradition of quality, excellence and hospitality.

 

“I learned everything about the restaurant business from my parents,” Miller says. “They ran the business together for all those years, and now my wife and I are doing the same. “Throughout the summer, we’re feeding around 2,000 people a day in our two restaurants. It’s a challenge we embrace every season, and we get a lot of fulfillment from making it all work.”

 

The Millers focus on two main specialties: high quality foods and unparalleled service. Seafood at Miller’s is fresh and locally caught, and they serve high-quality Angus beef, fresh pastas and homemade desserts. At American Pie, guests enjoy hand-tossed pizzas and homemade ice cream.

 

“We put a lot of time and effort into ensuring the products we bring in are top-notch,” Miller says. “Our customers know that when they visit our restaurants, they’ll be getting the quality and consistency they’ve come to know and love.”
