Explore Together Series

Do you ever want to try something out, or visit a new place, but didn't want to go alone? This series is for you.

Ready to break out of your routine and discover Charlotte's best-kept secrets? This isn't your typical social event—it's an adventure designed for curious souls who want to explore the unexpected while making genuine connections.

What to Expect: This time we'll explore the Veronet Vineyards & Winery in Kings Mountain. If you haven't been yet, and wanted to go, this is a great opportunity! We'll pick an area to hang out at, take in the views, sip some yummy wine and get to know each other with some activities.

Perfect for you if:

• You're tired of the same old coffee shop meetups

• You love stumbling upon places that feel like hidden treasures

• You're genuinely excited to meet people who share your sense of adventure

• You believe the best conversations happen when you're discovering something new together

What makes this special: No forced icebreakers or awkward name games. Just authentic connections forming naturally as we explore, laugh, and "ooh and ahh" over unexpected discoveries together. You'll leave with new favorite spots AND new friends who appreciate the joy of exploration.

The Details: 📅 Saturday, December 13 🕕 2:00 AM - 4:00 PM (if you arrive later, look for our group)📍 Veronet Vineyards & Winery 👥 Small group size for meaningful connections

Past Explore Together Events

Eastover Crossing Exploration - Thursday September 18 2025

We spent time on a mild scavenger hunt between the Used Book Store, Upcycle Arts and Visart Video. At the end we had sandwiches at Visart Cafe and talked about our scavenger hunt finds. It was a wonderful way to hang out and explore something new in the city.

"I was so nervous to attend but then was one of the last to leave 😅 this event was SO fun"

"I was so surprised by what a great match my group was for me. Whatever process they're using to connect like-minded people with similar interests, it's working!"

A few of the anonymous Testimonials submitted by prior friend-matching event participants:

"I was nervous about meeting new people—even though I love being outdoors—but the event turned out to be such a pleasant surprise! The icebreaker questions were fun and made conversations easy. I never felt bored, and it was a genuinely great experience from start to finish."
