Here’s why you should join the party:

Passport to Delicious: A Global Tasting Adventure in Your Glass

Forget those tired, “same old” tastings. This festival’s got over 100 vinos from across the globe, each one waiting to whisk your taste buds on a whirlwind tour. Imagine swirling a bold Cab from Napa, then jet-setting to Italy with a crisp Pinot Grigio. Whether you’re a seasoned oenophile or a vino newbie, your palate will be doing the happy dance.

VIP Vibes: Treat Yo’ Self Like a Royal Grape

Feeling fancy? Level up your festival experience with VIP access. Get an extra hour of exclusive tastings, sip rare vintages that’ll make your eyes do the cartoon wolf thing, and mingle with fellow vino royalty. It’s basically your own private vineyard, right in the heart of SouthEnd. Think velvet ropes, decadent cheese plates, and enough bubbly to fill a bathtub (don’t tell the fire marshal, okay?).

Prizes, Parties, and Cheers to the Community!

Get ready for some extra oomph! Throughout the day, raffle drawings will shower you with goodies, from swanky tasting glasses to enticing bottles that’ll make your wine rack weep with joy. And to top it all off, raise a glass with your fellow Charlotteans in a grand closing toast. It’s a chance to share your favorite discoveries, bond over your shared passion (wine, duh!), and celebrate the magic of this grape-tastic community.

 

Beyond the Festival: Dive into the Queen City Charm

Charlotte isn’t just about the vino (though there’s plenty of that!). Use the festival as a springboard to explore the city’s vibrant offerings. Stroll through the historic neighborhoods, indulge in mouthwatering Southern eats, and soak up the Queen City’s undeniable Southern charm. It’s the perfect weekend getaway for a sip-and-see adventure.
