Charleston Spring Wine Festival

Here’s your chance to gather with friends on an early spring afternoon and sample your way through more than 50 kinds of wines, all while live music and a DJ set the mood.  If wine's not your thing. they’ll have other options on hand too (e.g. beer, mimosas and White Claw). 

It’s organized by the Charleston Wine Festival folks, who like to schedule wine gatherings during each of the four seasons.   They’re also behind the Charleston Brunch Festival, Summer Wine Festival, Fall Mimosa Fest, and the Winter Wine Festival.  They all follow a similar format, although they take place in different venues around the Holy City.

Exact date and details for 2025 haven't been announced yet, so stay tuned.  The spring 2024 edition of the festival happened on Saturday, March 30th at the Johnson Hagood Stadium at the Citadel in downtown Charleston.   It’s a rain or shine event.

Included with your ticket are bottomless pours, along with a souvenir acrylic glass and bottled water.  Food will be available for purchase.  

Tickets went on sale February 21st.  The first 500 are just $40.  After 500 are sold, they’re $50 advance.  The price goes up to $55 after March 21st and is $65 at the door, if there are any left.  You can purchase them here. 

The Charleston Spring Wine Festival is a 21 and over only event.  Alcohol pours end 15 minutes prior to the end of the festival, and you’re encouraged to rideshare or have a designated driver.
