Big Curri-Shuck--a great time in Currituck County.Imagine an event that requires the following—eat as many fresh steamed oysters as you can, sample local wine and beer, maybe have some eastern North Carolina barbecue and steamed crab and throw in some really good country music.
That describes The Big Curri-Shuck at Sanctuary Vineyards and Winery in Jarvisburg, 15 minutes north of the Outer Banks.
Right next to the original Cotton Gin, The Big Curri-Shuck has become one of those annual events that should not be missed.
The Big Curr-Shuck Details
Here are the details. Price is $40, but it's worth it. Tickets are available at I Got Your Crabs in Kitty Hawk or at Sanctuary Vineyards, which makes sense because I Got Your Crabs is supplying the oysters and the crab. And since the event is on the grounds of Sanctuary Vineyards and John Wright, vineyard manager, is driving force behind the event, of course that's a source for tickets.
Tickets are also available at all Cotton Gin stores.
The wine—with signature glasses—comes from Sanctuary Vineyards. The Vineyard's wines have been steadily improving and at this point in time, they are good wines by any standards. The whites especially will go really well with oyster.
The information about the local beer hasn't been posted yet, but in the past Weeping Radish is always on hand—they're right up the road—and usually the Outer Banks Brewing Station and Lost Colony Brewery. But that hasn't ben confirmed yet.
The music has been confirmed with local country rock band Croatan Highway—a very good sound, and Dave Cynar Band bringing their county sound from Hampton Roads.
Events at Sanctuary Vineyards are always family friendly events and this is no exception with hayrides for the kids and usually a hay bale maze.
Tickets are limited, so don't wait.
