About Highlands Food & Wine:
Born from a need to keep Highlands, NC open longer before Old Man Winter shuts the town down for the season, Highlands Food & Wine is a destination festival that draws adventurers, tastemakers, and culture seekers from across the country. It’s more than an event—it’s an immersive escape. Each year, award-winning chefs, visionary restaurateurs, master sommeliers, and boundary-pushing rock and roll, Americana, bluegrass, blues and soul bands gather in Highlands, North Carolina, creating an unforgettable tapestry of flavor, sound, and mountain magic.
