Highlands Food & Wine
Written By: Jenny King | Issue: 2018/06 - June
The Highlands Food & Wine Festival is back again, November 8 – 11. It’s one of the most exciting events in the Southeast and ticket sales are already booming.
Presented by the Highlands Chamber of Commerce, the Highlands Food & Wine Festival offers ticket holders many opportunities to enjoy live music, outstanding food, and plenty of things to do. If last year’s event is any indication, it’s going to be a one heck of a party! New this year is a weekend pass, available for sale along with all tickets at HighlandsFoodAndWine.com. This will allow pass-holders a unique way to experience all the events, along with some special perks that go along with it.
The four-day celebration is jampacked with food, wine, live music, and it all kicks off with the Grand Tasting, on Thursday, November 8. Chefs from around our area will be offering up their finest and guests will be seeing lots of familiar faces.
The weekend continues on Friday with Sip & Shop, and the outdoor Truckin’ event. Truckin’ has become known for its fleet of tasty food trucks, elegant outdoor seating, and some of the most popular bands around.
Saturday’s Sip & Shop will continue and The Main Event will take place on Main Street with a block party unlike any other with returning star, Darling Oyster Bar out of Charleston and shucking stations. You’ll enjoy live music, hot food, and cool libations, all in the middle of historic downtown Highlands. A Generous Pour on Saturday evening will benefit the Highlands Food Pantry.
Sunday’s Gospel Brunch, always a sell-out, signals the end of the festival, but scattered throughout the weekend are special wine dinners, wine tastings, and small bite experiences you’ll want to make sure you don’t miss.Block out your calendar November 8 – 11, get your tickets and your lodging accommodations now, while you can.
