"This is the kind of thing we love to do," said Alyssa Maute Smith, executive director of Charleston Wine + Food. "The Legacy Pass is a way for us to celebrate the launch of our 2027 Culinary Village pre-sale while recognizing the guests who have made this festival part of their lives. We hope it inspires even more people to start a tradition they'll look forward to for years to come."

The Culinary Village is the festival's largest tasting event, featuring thousands of guests over three days, bites from Charleston's top chefs, live music and demonstrations. All three days sold out in 2026, and the event returns March 5-7, 2027. The full festival runs March 3-7 and includes more than 90 events.
