Enjoy breakfast at your leisure and then head home, full of inspiration and feeling connected to yourself, your passion for food and culture, and the world.

On Sunday morning, we’ll head to Virginia’s On King for one of Charleston’s most iconic Southern-style brunches. If you want to be real authentic, try the Shrimp & Grits or a bowl of She-Crab Soup. We’ll order a magnum of mimosas and let the good times flow with new friends.

We’ll walk off our brunch with a trip to historic Fort Sumter via ferry boat in the Charleston Harbor. This Civil War icon is a must-visit in Charleston, and the ferry ride itself is a lovely, relaxing tour of the Lowcountry and it’s beautiful landscape.

In the evening, Carolina Cookery will prepare a traditional Lowcountry Boil for us at the home of a true Gullah-Geechee family. We’ll sit around the communal table and get our hands dirty with seasoned shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes and, of course, lots of beer and sweet tea to wash it all down.

If you haven’t gotten your fill, head out on the town for one last hurrah before returning to real life in the morning.

On Saturday, you’ll have breakfast at your leisure, and then we’ll join Chef Rashaunda Grant for a cooking class and lunch. Rushaunda is a local chef and owner of Carolina Cookery, where she teaches Lowcountry traditional cooking and caters special events at some of Charleston’s most beautiful venues. We’ll participate in her “High on the Hog” cooking class and enjoy lunch under the swaying oak trees (weather permitting, of course).

Then, you’ll have the afternoon to rest up at the hotel, or enjoy shopping on King Street in Charleston’s Historic District. The adorable boutiques and ultra-Instagrammable buildings are jaw-dropping and dripping with charm and personality.

We’ll have our special fine-dining experience on Saturday night, meeting in the hotel lobby and then heading to our reservation at Husk, one of Charleston’s best-loved Southern restaurants. After dinner, if you want to grab a drink with your new friends, Holly will be happy to provide a list of fun bars and lounges where you can wrap up the night in style.

Upon arrival to our four-star hotel in the heart of Charleston’s picturesque historic district, you’ll settle in and meet us at one of Charleston’s sexiest bars for a welcome drink to get to know your fellow travelers a little better before dinner. Staying sober? No problem, mocktails are aplenty. Then we’ll head out for our multi-course dinner at a Charleston mainstay restaurant, one that’s on every “essential eats” list in the city. We’ll provide transportation back to the hotel, but if you’d like to stay out, Holly will have a list of fun lounges and bars you can explore on your own.
