Uncork the Fun - Wine & Food Festival is an outdoor tasting event pairing fine wines, gourmet cuisine, and lifestyle brands in Charlotte, NC and Timonium, MD. Wineries from around the world, regional chefs, and artisan food producers turn each stop into an afternoon of sipping, strolling, and socializing, drawing an expected 13,000 attendees across both markets. Guests sample over 100 wines and paired bites, browse artisan shopping, and take in live music, with VIP ticket holders adding exclusive lounges and chef demos. The crowd skews female (60/40) and is drawn to food, wine, and lifestyle experiences. Sponsors get more than logo placement: branded glassware, main stage activations, and hands-on sampling put products directly into the hands of an affluent, experience-driven audience looking to discover something new.
