“Charlotte’s culinary community is incredibly diverse and dynamic,” says Laura White, CRVA Director of Communications. “We have established ourselves as a city of culinary opportunity while continuing to grow in ways that garner regional and national attention. We are excited about opportunities like the Charleston Wine + Food Festival because it gives us a platform to showcase our culinary talent and inspire residents of important drive markets like Charleston to take a trip to Charlotte to experience it firsthand.”

As a city both inspired by its culinary traditions and intrigued by unexpected flavors, Charlotte chefs, brewers and bartenders challenge themselves to craft recipes that reflect the personality of a growing, global city. In Charlotte, farms, breweries and restaurants form a tight-knit, collaborative community that makes every meal and every drink more adventurous than the last.

Charlotte’s culinary success is evident through the individual stories of dedication, perseverance, creativity, courage and hard-won loyalty from the city’s diverse mix of young, inventive chefs (many graduates of local culinary school Johnson & Wales University), James Beard Award nominees, well-established restaurateurs, international chefs, and award-winning brewers, distillers and bartenders.
