A week from today, one of Charleston’s staple foodie events returns to celebrate its 20th anniversary. That’s right, I’m talking about Charleston Wine + Food, which will have the Holy City celebrating from Wednesday, March 4 through Sunday, March 8.
The annual festival shines a spotlight on Charleston’s culinary community through programming that honors the past, present, and future. Many events are already sold out, so see what’s still available and get your tickets now.
I can’t wait for the chef-led dining experiences, demos, workshops, and to eat my way through the Culinary Village. Cheers, Charleston.
