Program areas at Charlotte Wine and Food Weekend
Charlotte Wine & Food brings together leading wine industry experts from around the world and pairs them with Charlottes top chefs to celebrate and advance public knowledge of and appreciation for fine wine and food, while making significant contributions to charitable organizations that benefit children and their families in the Charlotte community.In 1989, a group of civic-minded wine and food enthusiasts had a vision of creating a series of events to raise money for charity. Out of this vision, Charlotte Wine & Food was born and has proudly contributed over $6.5 million to the community over the last 35 years. With time and care, the organization has grown in stature and evolved but remains one of Charlottes premier cultural institutions attracting winemakers, vintners, and sommeliers from around the world while celebrating the best of Charlottes culinary landscape. What started as a Weekend of events taking place bi-annually is now a year-round series of events that culminate in a multi-day wine and food experience each April. From intimate vintner dinners and tastings to large gala dinners and live auctions, Charlotte Wine & Food has something for anyone interested in wine, food, fun, and fundraising! Charlotte Wine & Food is a non-profit 501(c)3 directed by a fellowship of wine and food connoisseurs that make up its volunteer board of directors. All events benefit strategically-selected charity partners that support children in the local community.
