Venue Spotlight: Stop #1 on the Classic Southeast Roadshow – Vidrio, Raleigh, North Carolina

We are heading out on our final Roadshow of 2022 and we are going to end the year with a BANG! This one promises to be our biggest showcase and biggest gathering of meeting and event professionals of the year. One you will not want to miss!

Retreats Resources brings the Roadshow to you, but did you know we select the host venues with an experience in mind for every Meeting Planner and Event Specialist who attends. Let’s start with a little background on our first stop on the Classic Southeast Roadshow: Vidrio, Raleigh.

Vidrio is a colorful window into the flavors and soul of the Mediterranean kitchen. A creative expression of the passion, people, and lifestyle that have embodied a timeless culture.
Vidrio is the bold vision of restauranteur Lou Moshakos. Built on the philosophy of “love is the most important ingredient,” Vidrio is a family dream years in the making. When Lou speaks of his family, it is always centered around the table and filled with laughter, stories, and love.

This communal tradition of dining and sharing is captured in the essence of Vidrio. Vidrio embraces the Mediterranean dining philosophy – rooting it in the respect for the ingredient, the nourishment of food for our bodies and to use the time around the table to reconnect with each other. Making dining the occasion to gather together.

Vidrio is an open window into the Mediterranean. The vibrant, modern environment is visually mesmerizing and filled with warm, personal hospitality. These touches speak to the patience, creative vision and hard work of Lou Moshakos and his attention to detail to bring this ode to the Mediterranean to Raleigh.

Come join us in Raleigh on Tuesday, November 1st and see for yourself: 9:30 am – 10:00 am VIP Newcomers’ Reception for first time guests ONLY (so we can get to know you!), 10:00 am – 12:30 pm Luxury destination showcase with over exhibitors, and 12:30 – 2:00 pm for a family style lunch.
