Zillie's Island Pantry

Outer Banks


Part gourmet-food shop (head here for beach picnic provisions), part wine store, Zillie's is one of the classiest spots for a glass of Argentine Malbec or Oregon Pinot ($21 by the glass) or a regional microbrew (eight taps). It sells more than 300 tipples , and on chillier days the fire-pit-warmed front porch is an enticing spot for a drink.

Enquire about the regular wine-tasting evenings ($20 per person).
