Beaufort Wine & Food’s April Wine Festival
Swirl. Smell. Sip. Repeat. Talent from around the world descends on Beaufort as guest chefs are paired up with some of the Crystal Coast’s best restaurants for an unforgettable experience – All in the name of charity! The 20th annual festival combines the public’s appreciation for wine and food with its drive to support worthy local organizations, and has positioned itself as one of the area’s premier tourism events. Beaufort Wine and Food’s single largest event is the Vin de Mer Epicurean Village! Guests are immersed in a controlled chaos where 300 wine labels and dozens of local and regional restaurants come together in perfect harmony. Cooking demonstrations take place throughout the event. From wine tastings to wine dinners, multiple events take place over five days. The annual Beaufort Wine & Food Weekend returns April 24 – 27, 2025.
Beaufort Wine & Food’s Oyster Roast
Imagine Fall air, music, and wine paired with the salty brine of local oysters. Join Beaufort Wine & Food as they celebrate the oyster on Saturday, November 15, 2025. Prepared in a variety of ways: steamed, raw, fried – there’s something for everyone. No Beaufort Wine & Food event would be complete without excellent wine, beer, and spirits. This event is no different. Tickets include music, food, and drinks. The event takes place on the front lawn of the Beaufort Hotel. Most importantly, just like all Beaufort Wine & Food events, the organization will be giving back proceeds to a local cause. Each ticket you purchase, helps us help others.
