As the 2025 Charleston Wine + Food Festival approaches, we are filled with immense gratitude and excitement. Time has flown by, and each year presents new opportunities to celebrate and honor the vibrant spirit of our community.
Reflecting on the 2024 festival, we faced unprecedented challenges. As a non-profit dedicated to reinvesting all our resources into the community we serve, navigating the challenges following last year’s festival tested our resilience. Despite these trials, we remain steadfast, supported by our community, partners, volunteers, and Friends. Without this unwavering support, our efforts in education, workforce development, and economic growth would not be possible.
At the heart of the Charleston Wine + Food Festival is a deep appreciation for the local talents and traditions that make Charleston and the Lowcountry exceptional. This year, we are more committed than ever to showcasing the remarkable individuals and businesses that define our region. We are thrilled to announce the expansion of the CHSWF Culinary + Hospitality Investment Fund, a dynamic extension of our dedication to the culinary community. This new initiative aligns with our mission to celebrate and elevate Charleston’s vibrant food and beverage scene. By providing financial support, mentorship, and visibility, we aim to enhance the sustainability of the local culinary and hospitality community and contribute to the long-term success of local entrepreneurs.
From celebrated chefs and artisans to passionate entrepreneurs and local growers, the essence of Charleston will shine brightly through every event and experience. Our 2025 programming is a tribute to our local culture and culinary heritage. We are proud to present a lineup that highlights the extraordinary talents within our own backyard and weaves in the stories and flavors that make our community unique.
Charleston Wine + Food is a celebration that is made possible through the dedication + excitement of our local partners, volunteers, and supporters. Their unwavering commitment not only fuels our passion but also drives the success of this remarkable event.
As we prepare for what promises to be an extraordinary year, we look forward to welcoming everyone to Charleston from March 5-9, 2025.
