Hosted at Salt & Cypress Kitchen and Cocktails in Manteo, this five-course tapas-style luncheon is part of Taste of the Beach 2026. The event brings Derby-inspired flavors to the table, with each small plate paired alongside a bespoke cocktail.

Designed as a structured but celebratory afternoon, the experience blends refined Southern-style dishes with classic Derby cocktail elements.

Five-Course Tapas Luncheon

Guests move through a progression of shareable Southern-inspired small plates, paced course by course.

Cocktail Pairings

Each course is matched with a custom cocktail highlighting traditional Derby flavors — mint, citrus, bourbon, and sparkling elements.

Guests are encouraged to dress for the occasion, settle in, and enjoy a festive garden-party atmosphere built around food and drinks.
