Welcome to Taste of Home, the third annual progressive dinner event of the Wilmington Parade of Homes!

See a unique evening tour of some of the finest new homes in Castle Hayne's new riverfront community, Sunset Reach—the Featured Community of this year’s Parade of Homes—while enjoying gourmet bites (vegetarian options available!) catered by Middle of the Island with craft beer pairings by Wilmington Brewing Company. Each of the houses on the tour will feature one or two dishes, one wine, and one beer for a diverse sampling of homes and cuisine to delight both your sights and your palate. All houses are walkable within the Sunset Reach community (though an optional shuttle will also be available), making it easy to leisurely stroll from home to home enjoying live music throughout the community and stopping by the dock for dessert on the river by Chocolate and S'more.

Tickets for this event are limited. Don't miss out!
