Welcome to the Charlotte Wine & Food Weekend

Join The Kickoff at The Ritz Carlton on Saturday, October 17, 2009

Over 4,000 people attended the Charlotte Wine & Food Weekend Vintage 2008.  And now we're ready to do it again!

Kickoff for 2010 Vintage will be Saturday, October 17, 2009 at Charlotte's new Ritz Carlton.  And we're proud to have Felix Sabates Mercedes-Benz of South Charlotte as our kickoff sponsor.

Thursday, April 22nd will begin the official weekend as twenty restaurants all over the city will host private winemaker dinners for over 1,000 guests – Charlotte's largest dinner party!

Big Bottles & Blues, again sponsored by RBC Wealth Management, will be held Friday night, April 23, with hundreds of people enjoying wines from over 50 vintners, fine cuisine, live music by Bob Foley Band and live & silent auctions.

Saturday the 24th will hold something for everyone! A morning Vintner Tasting with very accessible pricing. Spectacular tastings with renowned wine experts, including Kevin Zraly, will educate and thrill wine lovers in the morning and afternoon.

The weekend will conclude with the Grand Live Auction and Gala Saturday evening.

Designated charities for this year's events are focused on Charlotte-Mecklenburg Children and Youth: The Children's Theatre, the Council for Children's Rights, Johnson & Wales University, Second Harvest Food Bank and W.I.S.H. Program. Having provided $3.4 million dollars to local charities since its inception in 1989, Charlotte Wine & Food Weekend is counting on another stellar series of events for the 2010 vintage.

We invite you to share your passion for wine, food and charity with us for the Kickoff and the weekend of April 22-24, Spring of 2010. Please check back often for event updates!
