A glass of Country Squire wine served with lunch @ The Country Squire is a perfect way to kick off a weekend getaway in Duplin County. Lunch at “The Squire”, as the locals refer to it, is a true dining experience. Be sure to take a tour of the place – it is very beautiful and quite unique plus be sure to sample their wine in their Tartan Tasting room! They’ve got fantastic menu items, including surf and turf. My personal favorite is the chicken teriyaki paired with a delicious glass of Country Squire’s own Highlander Cabernet/Merlot Blend.
