Food & Wine, Southern Living, and Travel + Leisure are coming together for the first-ever Food & Wine Classic in Charleston, South Carolina from Sept. 27 - 29, 2024.
For four decades, Food & Wine has hosted its famed event in Aspen, bringing together the best in the culinary biz. And now, it's bringing its food-filled magic to Charleston with the bonus of the lifestyle experts at T+L and Southern Living.
"I am excited to be partnering with my colleagues at Southern Living and Travel + Leisure to build on the storied legacy of the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen and introduce this singular experience in a new destination," Hunter Lewis, the editor-in-chief at Food & Wine, shared in a statement. "No other place shares a blend of hospitality, foodways, culture, architecture, and history like the Holy City, and I can't wait to see this dynamic new event come to life there next fall. A huge thank you to Charleston for welcoming us in a big way."

The weekend-long festival will celebrate the best the city has to offer and will feature world-renowned chefs, just like in Aspen, alongside homegrown talent. (Yes, there will be both food and wine tastings, seminars, and demonstrations galore.) And, in Charleston, guests can head out on one-of-a-kind local tours and excursions to get to know the city a little deeper.
"I am thrilled and honored that Charleston has been selected as the new Food & Wine Classic host community. Our collaboration with Food & Wine, Southern Living, and Travel + Leisure is a testament to our community's rich culinary tapestry and vibrant hospitality," Helen Hill, the CEO of Explore Charleston, the presenting sponsor of the event, said in a statement. "This unique event will further elevate the Charleston area as America's premier food and beverage destination. I am immensely proud of what our community offers, and I eagerly await the unparalleled experience this event will bring to all who attend."
Tickets for the Food & Wine Classic in Charleston will go on sale this spring, so keep this story bookmarked for future reference. The lineup of chefs and special guests is evolving, but without a doubt, you can expect a whole lot of food and culture all-stars to be descending on the southern city in 2024.
