NC Catalina Wine Mixer

The NC Catalina Wine Mixer is a fun, upscale, and highly social celebration of North Carolina wine, food, music, and local businesses. Inspired by the iconic Catalina Wine Mixer from the film Step Brothers, the event will bring together wineries, breweries, local food vendors, artisans, and small businesses for an engaging afternoon of tastings, live music, entertainment, interactive experiences, and opportunities to shop local.

This event is designed to attract adults from throughout the Triangle and beyond who are looking for a unique food, beverage, and entertainment experience. Beyond the event itself, our goal is to create meaningful connections between attendees and local businesses by incorporating Shop Local Raleigh members into the overall experience, from where attendees shop for their outfits and get event-ready, to where they dine, stay, and explore before and after the event.

The NC Catalina Wine Mixer is intended to become a signature annual event that showcases North Carolina’s vibrant hospitality and small-business community while creating a memorable experience for attendees and a positive economic impact for the surrounding area.
