There's more than food and wine happening during the BB&T Charleston Food + Wine Festival. This four-day event which kicks-off the last Thursday of February features an extraordinary combination of culinary experts, wine makers and authors in celebrating America's most historic city and its unique Lowcountry cuisine.
The festival offers many opportunities to sample Southern cuisine, including the regional variation known as Lowcountry cuisine. The Lowcountry, defined as the low-lying coastal region stretching from the festival host city of Charleston to Savannah, Ga., is known internationally for its regional cooking style that evolved from a multitude of influences.
Since its inception in 2005, the festival has showcased the regional cuisine, chefs, and architecture that make Charleston so famous. In addition to the many local stars featured during the event, the festival also highlights the arts and culinary tastes of food and wine from all over the world.
A number of events take place throughout the BB&T Charleston Food + Wine Festival weekend. They include the Celebration of Charleston Chefs Opening Night Party, Picnic Lunch with the Stars, the Culinary Village, King Street Sip & Stroll, Restaurant Dine-Around, Beermasters Beer Dinner, Winemaker Reception in Private Homes, Lowcountry Gospel Brunch, BBQ & Blues, and the ULTIMATE festival experience, Food + Wine with a View: A Night in California.
The four-day event also includes a number of Wine Seminars in which wine experts teach about a variety of topics, ranging from fresh white wines, champagne, proper aging and storing techniques, and pairing wine with cuisine. Beer School provides opportunities to learn first-hand about the brewing process and the amazing range of beer styles.
