Meet the Owners

We are a small wine retail shop and tasting bar, catering to the wine needs of Eastern North Carolina. With a variety of wines to taste daily, and hundreds of wines for purchase, Bin & Barrel is your stop for all things wine! Our inventory is exclusive to the area, and if we don't have what you're looking for, we will do our best to find it. In addition to our wine selection, Bin & Barrel will also host wine-related events and classes throughout the year, as well as offer a customizable Wine Club. ​

Our shop is owned and operated by a husband and wife team, Ryan and Sarah Hicks. We met over our mutual love for wine while living in the heart of wine country, Sonoma, California. Sarah worked for Duckhorn Wine Company, planning and hosting events at all three of their winery locations. Ryan immersed himself in Wine Country Cuisine, learning from some of the best in the culinary industry. After spending seven years soaking up as much of the wine country as we could, it was time to get back to Ryan's roots in Eastern North Carolina.

We are excited to bring our love of wine, and knowledgeable experience to Rocky Mount. Please come visit us, and experience a little piece of wine country.

See you soon!
Sarah and Ryan Hicks
