Forbes Travel Guide ranked Charlotte Wine and Food Weekend one of the top five in the United States in 2014.
Profit from the event will serve as contributions to charitable organizations that will benefit children and their families in the Charlotte community. This year, the donations will focus on Nourishing Youth and Children, nurturing the whole child in body, mind and spirit, benefiting organizations such as Charlotte Concerts; The Council for Children’s Rights; Pat’s Place Family Advocacy; Safe Alliance; and Second Harvest Food Bank.
