Next Tour: Charlotte | 12-15 May 2026
The Queen City is growing and at pace. Young professionals, attracted by the promise of lucrative careers and more affordable living are moving in - and hospitality leaders, developers and investors are responding with gusto.
The Charlotte metropolitan area has 2.8m residents. That’s bigger than any UK city bar London – and fertile ground for operators scaling brands with strong, differentiated identities.
The 2026 Atlantic Club tour to Charlotte, one of the southern states most exciting growth markets for food and drink, will take in a raft of contrasting concepts, from bakeries and coffee shops to wine bars and breweries, from taco bars to stylish restaurants mixing southern comfort food with Mediterranean flair, not to mention a Pickleball club with craft cocktails and a private members club for motorsport enthusiasts. We’ll meet Charlotte’s top restaurant and bar entrepreneurs as well as developers driving change.
The Tour is curated and led by Atlantic Club founders Peter & Christine Martin.
Our Atlantic Club tours are complimentary for VIP Operators. Email becky.dundee@peach2020.com to find out more.

Mile High Ambition: Big Ideas and Bold Flavours in Denver
Three days. 20 venues. 40+ top-tier operators. One unforgettable Atlantic Club experience.
Denver is booming. With 300 days of sunshine, a spectacular natural backdrop, and a thriving economy, the Mile High City is pulling in young, educated professionals and building one of the most dynamic food and drink scenes in the US.
It’s not just the altitude that’s high — ambition, innovation and quality are off the charts here. From upscale food halls and fine-casual concepts to vinyl bars, wagyu specialists and mezcal-led menus, Denver's operators are redefining what modern hospitality looks like.
Over three packed days, our 2025 Atlantic Club group explored more than 20 standout venues. We met the visionary founders, bold entrepreneurs and seasoned pros behind the city’s most talked-about concepts — and uncovered the cultural and economic drivers behind Denver’s rise.
The creativity was electric, the execution razor-sharp, and the commercial performance seriously impressive.
