About the EVENT

From its humble inception over 30 years ago, the Triangle Wine & Food Experience has grown to become one of the leading charity wine auctions in the nation, with all proceeds benefiting the Frankie Lemmon School & Development Center. 

Held annually on the first weekend in February, chefs, restaurants, wineries, and spirit brands from all over the world come together to participate in this unmissable three-day affair. Lavish dinners and curated tastings all culminate in a grand auction to support Frankie Lemmon.
