Celebrate food, eliminate hunger -- a ticket to Taste of the Nation Charlotte feeds more than your belly.

Described as the "premier culinary benefit," the Charlotte edition of the Taste of the Nation event is joining forces with Share Our Strength. Together they aim to ensure that no child goes without enough to eat.

At Taste of the Nation Charlotte, attendees will enjoy tastings from the area's top chefs restaurants, culinary schools and sample fine wines, local beers, and premium spirits, including an entertaining Mixologist Bar. Guests will also enjoy live music and a silent & live auction.
