Charlotte Wine & Food Weekend

Vintner Dinners

Thursday, April 22, 2010 6:30 pm

Each year Charlotte’s most recognized restaurants are paired with the world’s best winemakers. These events allow the wine lover to get up close and personal with internationally-known wine experts.

Each dinner menu is planned based on wine selections and guests have the opportunity to learn about winemaking, viticulture and other interesting tidbits from the guest vintner. Guest hosts for 2010 will include some of the top names in the wine and beverage industry such as Robert Foley, Dick Ward, and Walter Schug. These dinners are consistent sell-outs and the single largest “dinner party” in the city.
