Celebrating Women's History Month
Over the past two years, these business owners have opened their doors and hearts to me on more than one occasion. They provide top tier experiences. I always enjoy time spent with them and hope you enjoy these things to do in Charlotte too.
The Foodie School
Culinary Classes + Monthly Chef Competition
Enjoy cooking in a chef-led meal in a large group setting. This is perfect for a solo adventure or date night. Most classes are led by the owner Chef Mara with assistance from another chef. Multiple classes are offered throughout the week featuring cuisines from around the country and world. You can bring your own wine or beer. I also love attending and judging the monthly chef competition called SLICED! Tickets sell out fast for this event.

Bliss & Blends Wine Bingo
Wine Tasting
A fairly new concept by owner Selena - this is not your traditional bingo or wine tasting experience. It's a fun twist where you have to guess the wine and fill your bingo card with the corresponding name. Resident DJ, DJ Cruz Control, will keep you swaying and bopping while you put your taste skills to the test. This is the perfect activity for all genders and party sizes.
Tickets can be purchased on their website and do sell out fast.
