Sip, Savor, and Channel Your Inner Brennan at the NC Catalina Wine Mixer on Saturday

It turns out you don’t need a helicopter charter or a Pacific breeze to experience the mother of all wine mixers this weekend.

On Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, Shop Local Raleigh is taking over The Social Lawn at The Exchange for an afternoon dedicated to North Carolina’s finest pours, bites, and homegrown talent. Whether you’re a devout local wine enthusiast or simply love an excuse to day-drink outside in crisp autumn weather, you’ll find tastings from regional wineries and craft breweries alongside a curated lineup of Triangle food vendors and artisans.

Beyond the sips and live soundtrack, the event serves as a high-energy showcase for the independent makers and small businesses that keep Raleigh vibrant. Gather your friends, wander the lawn, and be sure to pocket a little extra spending cash for the vendor booths by tapping our exclusive discount at checkout.
