private dining & events
Private Events are Kind of Our Thing.
Just minutes from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and right off of Franklin Street, at Wedgewood, we believe great gatherings should feel personal, connective, and deeply memorable. Yes, we’ll feed your guests exceptionally well—but what makes our events different is what happens beyond the plate.
We’re passionate about stories of place: the farmers, cheesemakers, winemakers, and traditions that shape how something tastes. We love exploring the culture, commerce, agriculture, and geography that define a region’s palate—and bringing those stories to life through food, wine, and hospitality.
Sometimes you want more than a banquet table and a forgettable pour.
Whether you're planning an intimate dinner, a corporate gathering, a guided tasting, or a full restaurant buyout, we create events that feel warm, thoughtful, and distinctly unlike anything else in the Triangle.
Plus, we may be closed to the public Sunday–Tuesday, but we’re a flexible team and space that loves a custom event — any day of the week. Send us an inquiry or email us at hello@wedgewoodcheesebar.com to talk through your next event.
