What to Pack for Food & Wine Classic Charleston
Everything you need to enjoy your next trip to the Holy City.
In order to survive the balmy days and only slightly cooler Charleston nights, visitors must learn to embrace the coastal chic that locals have mastered.
Which means flowy, breezy and breathable. For the festival during the day, comfort is the first order of business. There will be lots of walking, talking and tasting. So, shoes that can take you across the city and a bag that leaves your hands free is a must.
For nighttime events, Charleston certainly doesn’t shy away from glam – it’s just a little more subdued and classic.
Here's everything you need for your next visit to the Holy City – and if you're looking for restaurant or hotel recs, we've got plenty of those too.
