Acquired by Calvert Retail (www.calvertretail.com) in August of 2016, Southern Season is the premiere destination for specialty foods and products. Since its creation in 1975, Southern Season has been known for the breadth and quality of its gourmet foods, wines, housewares, and cookware. A food lover’s paradise with exciting and innovative products from vendors local to international, Southern Season offers more than 80,000 items sold in-store and online. With a belief in Southern hospitality and a passion for the art of entertaining, Southern Season prides itself upon great tasting and distinct products offered by a knowledgeable and friendly staff. Known as a “culinary mecca,” the store features specialty food products, chocolate and candy, wine and beer, coffee and tea, prepared foods, kitchen tools, home items, gifts and much more. Guests, however, don’t come to Southern Season solely for the food. A visit to the store often includes samples from featured vendors, a hand-crafted java from the full service Coffee & Tea bar, a glass of wine from the full service Wine & Beer Tasting Bar, or a cooking class taught by a celebrity chef. Southern Season also has a full service indoor/outdoor restaurant showcasing a menu of creative, seasonal fare that highlights local ingredients also available in the store.
