The 2025 roster reads like a who’s who of the food and beverage world: Emeril and EJ Lagasse, Kwame Onwuachi, Maneet Chauhan, Melissa King, Gail Simmons, Andrew Zimmern, Claudette Zepeda, Tyler Florence, Rodney Scott, and Carrie Morey are just the beginning. The schedule will also spotlight Charleston’s own rising and established culinary stars, including Mike Lata, James London, and Hector Garate, whose names are synonymous with the city’s celebrated restaurant scene.
Guests can expect a full slate of interactive cooking demos, spirits and wine seminars, and access to the Grand Tasting Pavilion—the Classic’s signature event, where hundreds of winemakers, distillers, and chefs converge to pour and plate for a discerning crowd.
