DishCourse has always been about creating meaningful connections through small, thoughtfully curated gatherings. Whether it's a dinner party, a wine night, or an activity-based event, we’ve built our community around shared experiences, friendly conversation, and memorable moments. And now, we’re making DishCourse even better!
We’re excited to introduce an updated format that offers you more choice and flexibility while keeping everything you love about DishCourse the same. If you’ve attended a DishCourse event before, you know how special they are—small groups of like-minded people, professional hosting, and handcrafted gifts designed to make every gathering feel personal and unique. None of that is changing! What is changing, however, is how you enjoy your food and drinks.
What’s Staying the Same?
DishCourse has built its reputation on fostering genuine human connections. That core mission remains unchanged. Here’s what you can continue to expect:
Dinner Parties & Activities – We’ll still be hosting intimate dining experiences and engaging activity-based events tailored to help people in Charlotte make new friends.
Shared Interests – Each event is still centered around common interests, whether it’s a New in Town Dinner Party, a Club 30+ gathering, or a Sober Lifestyle event.
Small Groups – The magic of DishCourse lies in its small group setting, ensuring an intimate, comfortable environment where real connections can form.
Professional Hosting – Every event is led by a skilled host who facilitates conversation, introduces engaging icebreakers, and ensures a seamless experience.
Handmade Gifts – We love the little details that make an evening extra special. Our handcrafted gifts remain an integral part of every DishCourse event.
What’s New?
We’ve listened to your feedback, and we’re thrilled to unveil an exciting update that makes DishCourse even more customizable and accessible:
Say Goodbye to Set Menus
In the past, DishCourse events featured pre-set menus, where your ticket price covered both the experience and a preselected meal. While this worked well, we realized that everyone has different tastes, dietary needs, and preferences when it comes to food and drink. So, we’re giving you the freedom to order whatever you want!
Enjoy the Freedom to Choose Your Own Food and Drinks
Now, when you attend a DishCourse event, you’ll have the flexibility to order directly from the restaurant’s menu. Whether you want a full entrée, a few shared appetizers, a cocktail, or a non-alcoholic drink, the choice is entirely yours. This means you can eat and drink exactly what you want, rather than being limited to a predetermined menu.
Lower Ticket Prices
Since your ticket will now only cover the DishCourse Experience itself—our expert hosting, curated group experience, and those special touches that make our events so unique—ticket prices are lower than before. You’ll still get the full DishCourse experience but with the added benefit of deciding how much you want to spend on food and drinks.
Why We Made This Change
Our goal has always been to create the best possible experience for our guests. By removing the set menus, we’re giving you more freedom while making DishCourse events more accessible to everyone. You no longer have to worry about whether a pre-set meal aligns with your dietary preferences or appetite for the night. Instead, you get to personalize your evening exactly the way you want it.
This new format also allows us to partner with even more amazing local restaurants and venues, offering a greater variety of experiences across Charlotte. You’ll get to enjoy the city’s best dining spots while still being part of an exclusive, intimate event designed to bring people together.
The DishCourse Experience: Now Even Better
So, what does a DishCourse event look like with this new format? Here’s a quick snapshot:
Purchase Your Ticket – Your ticket covers the curated DishCourse experience, including expert hosting, interactive elements, and handcrafted gifts.
Arrive at the Venue – You’ll be welcomed by your host and guided to a beautifully set table designed to make you feel special.
