Y’all know we love a good food & wine fest here at scoop, and the May 7 CRAVE Grand Culinary Celebration Has It All.
Chefs + Mixologists + Wines + Brews, all in one spot for one glorious food, wine, and beer-soaked spring afternoon.
CRAVE Charlotte’s big event is on Saturday, May 7 at Romare Bearden Park, and it’s the stuff that dreams are made of ~ 20 chefs, 5 cocktail mixologists, 15 wine tents with tons of tastings, and 11 craft brew tents.
The Details
Not only is this a superb day of food, wine, and beer with like-minded folk, it’s spring in the QC at one of our prettiest parks.
