Our Hendrick INEOS Charleston Sponsored Events: Shucked and Toasted

As a local INEOS Grenadier dealer on Savannah Highway, we care about more than just vehicles. We live and work here, and we are proud to support a festival that invests back into Charleston’s culinary community.

For 2026, we are sponsoring two crowd pleasing events at Charleston Wine + Food Festival: Shucked and Toasted. Both are perfect for guests who love bold flavors, relaxed vibes, and a true Lowcountry atmosphere.

Shucked at CHSWF: A Lowcountry Oyster Celebration

Shucked is all about oysters and coastal seafood, with chefs and shuckers putting their spin on this Lowcountry staple. You can expect fresh oysters, creative toppings, and a lively waterfront feel that matches Charleston’s coastal lifestyle.

If you are planning your festival week around seafood, Shucked is a natural highlight on the calendar. You can learn more and secure tickets directly through the official Shucked event page.

Toasted at CHSWF: A Barbecue Night to Remember

If barbecue is more your speed, Toasted brings together pitmasters, live fire cooking, and plenty of smoke and flavor. It is a relaxed, social night where you can sample different regional styles, sauces, and sides in one place.

Toasted is a great pick for guests who enjoy hearty food, a casual setting, and an easy place to meet friends during the festival. You can see full event details and tickets here.

Find the Hendrick INEOS Lounges and See the Grenadier In Person

Hendrick INEOS Grenadier Charleston will also be hosting a Test Drive Event at the dealership throughout the entire weekend. Please visit the INEOS Grenadier website to reserve your test drive and unlock exclusive offers to those who take the opportunity to get behind the wheel before March 9th. 

You can also visit the Hendrick INEOS lounges at these two events on Thursday and Saturday to view the Grenadiers in person and schedule your exclusive test drives.

During Shucked and Toasted, you will find the Hendrick INEOS lounges at each event. These spaces give you a chance to slow down between tastings, relax for a bit, and see the INEOS Grenadier in person.

Our team will be on hand to answer questions about the Grenadier, talk through features, and help you match the vehicle to your lifestyle around Charleston, West Ashley, Mount Pleasant, James Island, or Johns Island. You can check out the interior, cargo space, and available off road hardware so you get a feel for how it fits your daily drive and weekend trips.

Simple Tips for Planning Your CHSWF Weekend in Charleston

A little planning goes a long way for the Charleston Wine + Food Festival. Here are a few quick tips to keep your weekend smooth and fun:

• Plan your schedule early. Popular events like Shucked and Toasted can sell out, so pick your top choices and grab tickets in advance on CHSWF.org.
• Build in travel time. Give yourself enough time between events to handle traffic, parking, and ride share pick ups around downtown and nearby districts.
• Dress for the weather. Early March in Charleston can shift between warm afternoons and cooler evenings, so light layers and comfortable shoes are a smart move.
• Stay hydrated and pace yourself. There are plenty of tastings and pours, so drink water often and enjoy the full range of food and drink over the whole weekend.
• Pair your festival with a test drive. If you are already in town for the Charleston Wine + Food Festival, it is easy to stop by Savannah Highway and experience the Grenadier while you are here.
