Our Story
Welcome to Inner Banks Farm & Vineyard, or as our friends and guests know us, IBXF&V.
We’re Bob and Ranee Pender, two nurses united by a dream of creating a haven where life slows down, nature takes center stage, and every guest feels like family.
When we discovered these 45+ acres nestled in North Carolina’s Inner Banks, we realized we had found something truly special. The rolling pastures, inviting coastal breezes, and the promise of sun-soaked grapevines inspired us to transform this land into a vibrant farm and vineyard—a destination for all to enjoy.
Today, we invite you to experience our North Carolina vineyard, stay in our cozy guest homes, and share in the beauty of coastal country life. Alongside the vines, you’ll encounter free-range hens, playful lambs, and myriad peaceful corners where you can breathe deeply and unwind.
From tending the grapes to caring for our animals, every day at our vineyard is a labor of love, and we can’t wait to share this unique vineyard experience with you!
Experience the charm of a farm and vineyard in North Carolina, where you can enjoy a memorable vineyard experience surrounded by beautiful landscapes and lush grapevines.
