Friends of the Festival
Charleston Wine + Food is a catalyst for connections that inspire curiosity through thoughtful storytelling + meaningful experiences with a sense of place. Our Friends of the Festival not only champion our higher purpose as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, but also the Charleston culinary + hospitality community at large.
Friends of the Festival receive early access to tickets before public on-sale, a personal concierge to handle all ticketing + festival needs, priority waitlist access to sold-out events, “Friends only” exclusive events, VIP treatment throughout the festival week, and a portion of your membership back in the form of a ticketing stipend. Our Friends program is the perfect way to take your festival experience to the next level and support the work of the nonprofit.
