Featuring varietals from around the world, this event will satiate every wine drinker’s palate. You’ll taste the vino rainbow as you sip waterside under the stunning live oaks of Lowndes Grove Plantation.

A little piece of wine heaven has been carved out right here in the Lowcountry and we guarantee you’ll have a grape time. No passport required. Dress code is Lowcountry casual.
Friday (12noon – 5 pm) you will head to the festival’s Culinary Village which is the heart and soul of Charleston Wine + Located in downtown’s Marion Square, the Village is the ultimate culinary experience.

The Hub will be back with food + beverage vendors, and our Artisan Market will be stocked full of incredible local and regional makers showcasing their masterful creations and unique flavors.

This year promises to be the biggest + tastiest Culinary Village yet.
Friday (7:30pm-10pm) is sure to be a blast at “Smoking in the Boys Room”! Thankfully for us down south, BBQ is having more than a moment. And while the BBQ scene may be known as a boy’s club, women all over the country have been working hard to carve out a place among this smoke-filled industry. For this event, the festival is featuring a ton of ridiculously talented women who will be cranking out some top-notch ‘que. With smoky meats, delicious treats and thoughtful beverage pairings, this one is sure to cut through the haze. All hail the queens of ‘que who are spreading the gospel of smoked meat!
