The Country Squire Restaurant, Inn, & Winery
The Country Squire Restaurant, Inn, & Winery, situated along NC Highway 24 near Kenansville and Warsaw in rural Duplin County, North Carolina, is a beloved historic establishment founded in 1961 by Joe Nichols Jr. Built incorporating historic 18th-century timber frames, stone fireplaces, and antique Scottish architectural elements, the complex spans a rustic dining facility, a cozy country inn, and an on-site estate vineyard and winery. Famous throughout Eastern North Carolina for its prime steaks, fine wines, and atmospheric charm, the Squire is equally famous for persistent ghost encounters involving its founder, gentle spirits, and phantom footsteps in the dining rooms.
