About UsIn 1989, a group of civic-minded wine and food enthusiasts had a vision of creating a series of events to raise money for charity. Out of this vision the Charlotte Wine & Food Weekend was born and has contributed over $3.2 million dollars to the community. The goal of the Weekend is to create an educational and fun series of events and over time the event has grown in stature and notoriety, attracting guest winemakers from around the world. Charlotte Wine & Food Weekend’s charitable goals for 2010 focus on Nourishing Mecklenburg County Youth. As a group, the charities nurture the whole child, (body, mind and spirit) by focusing on such issues as education, child abuse and neglect, homelessness and hunger. The beneficiaries of the 2010 Charlotte Wine & Food Weekend are Children’s Theatre of Charlotte, Council for Children’s Rights, Johnson & Wales University, Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina, and W.I.S.H. Program (through Crisis Assistance Ministry).
