Wine and Food Festival 2016 is Here!

Handsome Properties March 2, 2016

It’s an exciting time in Charleston! The weather is climbing back into the 70s, outdoor activities are bearable once again, and an annual festival that we look forward to each year is about to make its 11th debut. The Charleston Wine and Food Festival, which is held every March in Charleston, will be in town from March 2 to 6. Handsome Properties is proud to be one of its “Top Chef” sponsors for the second year in a row.

Over 400 chefs, artists, and entertainers from all over the world will be in attendance with over 100 events to make your time at the Wine and Food Festival one you will never forget. Since 2006, the festival has been a staple of springtime in Charleston, attracting visitors and chefs from all over the world. While Lowcountry-style food will obviously be in attendance, prepare your taste buds to try entrees from dozens of different cultures, styles, and flavors.

Try world-class wines, meats, and dishes that are prepared with passion. Also, watch artisans excel at their craft, and watch world-renowned chefs do excel at what they do best. Events for the Wine and Food Festival will be spread throughout the Charleston area, but the majority of events will be held in Marion Square. Many of the events that are not located in Marion Square are accessible by shuttle, and there is plenty of garage parking nearby.

While many events are now sold out, it is not too late to find tickets for various events, such as the Handsome Properties’ sponsored N+S+E+W Dinner at one of our beautiful listings: 2 Water Street, Wine of Kings, Zing! The Roasted Goat, Natural Vine, Wines on the Edge, and the opening night ceremony: Cheers to Charleston. And don’t forget to buy tickets to browse around the Culinary Village, which is the heart of the festival.

Available tickets start at $65 and can be purchased here. And while you’re enjoying these events, be sure to have a sitter: children under 21 and pets are not allowed. Here is a gallery of last year’s festival. Don’t miss out on this amazing festival, whether or not you’re a foodie. There are events for every budget and every palate. *photo courtesy of letstalkcharleston.com.
