Supporting Frankie Lemmon School & Developmental Center.

Milburnie 3.0

HERE, WE, GO! By popular demand, ALAN & EVELYN HUGHES, STEVE REYNOLDS, PAX MAHLE, and JAKE WOOD are getting everyone back together to celebrate MILBURNIE 3.0 on MAY 18TH, 2023! There is something undeniably special happening around these incredibly good people. It’s almost ethereal. You can’t quite put your finger on it, but we’re surely grateful for it! The modest charm of Milburnie Fishing Club, Alan & Evelyn’s southern hospitality, Steve’s allAmerican wholesomeness, Pax’s roguish charm, and Jake’s infectious enthusiasm melds into something that is so much more than the sum of its parts. Personalities aside, the product is equally enthralling. Large format selections from REYNOLDS FAMILY WINERY & PAX WINES, a spread from LAWRENCE BARBECUE so substantial it could almost be considered flagrant, live music, cold beer, rare bourbons…it’s no wonder this annual tradition is one of the most highly anticipated events of the year! Each iteration may look a little different, but it always feels the same. Like a home, it’s family that makes memories and we promise, you’ll walk away from this one with a whole host of brothers and sisters!

TWFE is always one of the highlights of the year for us. We love the whole weekend. On Thursday we love that we are able to fill a room with all our friends and celebrate with incredible wines! The gala was amazing and so fun and special. We love the addition of celebrity chefs!

I think the food is definitely as important as the wine. The opportunity to pair great food and great wine together creates a heightened culinary experience for attendees, and the involvement of our local chefs anchors this event as something special and unique to the Triangle.

There is no drink more synonymous with the word “celebration” and “toast” than champagne. TWFE is about raising our champagne glasses high to celebrate the children and families of Frankie Lemmon and the friendships we’ve made through this event.

For me, it’s a rare and incredibly inspiring experience to be in the same room with so much talent—there are very few local events that can illustrate the power of our food community to come together and make a huge impact

Triangle Wine & Food Experience would not occur without the amazing winemakers, chefs, supporters and volunteers, and more importantly, the Frankie Lemmon School would not exist without them. Everyone who participates with TWFE impacts a child’s life for the better.

Working with Frankie Lemmon for the past 20 years has helped me understand what a gift it is to give back and what a responsibility we have as chefs, Food is a tie that binds, and the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life is one of the best and most rewarding aspects of this work.

Triangle Wine & Food Experience

Triangle Wine & Food Experience is North Carolina’s premiere wine and food event. Held annually on the first weekend in February, chefs, restaurants, wineries, and spirit brands from all over the world participate in an unmissable three-day affair that includes lavish dinners and curated tastings that culminates in a grand auction.
