Charlotte’s food scene is having a breakthrough year, and you’re invited to taste it for yourself. Savor Charlotte returns Wednesday, March 11-Saturday, March 28, for three weeks of exclusive events, special menus, and offers.

This year, Savor Charlotte is longer, giving diners more time to soak it all in. We hope you’re hungry.

Get a taste of Charlotte’s culinary buzz

There’s been a spotlight on Charlotte’s culinary scene, with James Beard-recognized chefs, the new MICHELIN Guide American South, and the premiere of season 23 of Bravo’s “Top Chef.”

Savor Charlotte offers a unique opportunity to indulge in the hype firsthand with limited-time experiences curated by the city’s chefs, bakers, mixologists, brewers, sommeliers, and other tastemakers.

Unlike traditional week-long restaurant events, Savor Charlotte extends beyond deals, serving up experiences designed to get you out of your comfort zone.

The 2026 lineup includes more events than ever, with immersive experiences with culinary experts, themed dinners, specially curated menus, discounted offerings, and more.

One-of-a-kind events immerse you in our city’s culinary scene, allowing you to hear directly from the people who craft it. These experiences amplify the vision of Charlotte's culinary community, allowing them to tell their story, their way.
