We are excited to be collaborating with fellow locals at Outer Banks Distilling for our 1st Kill Devil Hills Cocktail and Culinary Weekend on Jan 20-22!
The event will take place right here at the Sea Ranch Resort on the OBX.
If you don’t know Outer Banks Distilling by name, you might know the name Kill Devil Rum, which is the rum they have been producing for a little over a year and a half (to great acclaim already as well) . One of their four founders, Matt Newsome, will be a featured speaker, giving us a history of their spirits, the legend of “Kill Devil Hill” and hosting a rum-based mixology session. Matt is a local with years of experience in the ever-evolving food and beverage scene here on the OBX, and will share his passion, creativity and knowledge.
Our Executive Chef, Sam Larson, will welcome Mark Newsome as guest chef for the culinary events; Mark brings his experience and knowledge from the highly acclaimed Joshua Wilton House in Harrisonburg, VA. With such an impressive team working in tandem, we expect some delightful concoctions and very good times. The event will also include a visit to the Outer Banks Distilling location in Manteo, where attendees will tour the facility and see rum-making up close!
We expect this to be a fantastic weekend and will be the first of many great events in 2017…
