Charleston Food & Wine Festival

The Charleston Wine + Food Festival (CHSWF) stands as one of America’s most elegant and influential culinary gatherings, celebrating the intersection of Southern hospitality, global gastronomy, and coastal charm. For five days each spring, Charleston transforms into an epicurean playground, where Michelin-starred chefs, master sommeliers, and discerning guests come together to honor food, wine, and craft at the highest level.

Set against the historic grandeur of the Holy City, the festival offers intimate chef’s table dinners, rare wine tastings, and exclusive culinary collaborations that redefine modern Southern cuisine. Guests experience private mansion dinners along The Battery, where chandeliers glow over truffle-laced shrimp and grits, and sunset champagne sabering aboard vintage yachts in Charleston Harbor. The 100-point wine library showcases pours from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and First Growth Bordeaux, alongside pre-Prohibition cognacs sourced from private collectors.

What sets CHSWF apart is its air of exclusivity and access. By-invitation-only events at the Dewberry Penthouse, bespoke concierge services such as helicopter transfers from private airfields, and personal introductions to iconic winemakers and chefs make it one of the most coveted experiences in the culinary world.

For sponsors and partners, Charleston Wine + Food offers more than visibility—it’s an entry into a high-net-worth, culturally sophisticated audience that values craftsmanship, legacy, and taste. It’s where culinary excellence meets coastal elegance, and where every detail—from the plating to the pour—reflects the city’s timeless spirit of refinement and celebration.
