We pride ourselves on an immersive guest experience, incredible industry talent, creative + meaningful programming, and invaluable access.

Below is an overview of various ways to get your brand involved and how to get the conversation started.

CUSTOM PARTNERSHIPS

At Charleston Wine + Food, we enter partnerships that are rooted in collaborative + meaningful relationships. Custom Partnerships are the premier way to bring your brand to life throughout various CHSWF platforms, including our annual festival. With many ways to be involved, our partnerships are far from a one-size-fits-all model. 

EXHIBITORS

Charleston Wine + Food’s Culinary Village is the festival’s largest sampling experience. Our dedicated Exhibitor booths enhance the three-day event experience by providing our attendees the opportunity to discover + engage with local + regional brands. Brands have the opportunity to showcase, sample, and in some cases, sell their products to our attendees.
