Performance Subaru Sponsors TerraVITA

TerraVITA Presents Top Chefs, Producers and Industry Experts for Three-Day Celebration of Food and Beverage Fall is my favorite time of the year and conjures up warm fuzzies just thinking about wonderful sunny afternoons with just a little chill in the air. It also reminds me that TerraVITA is just around the corner. This event offers the very best culinary experience North Carolina has to offer. Performance Subaru is a sponsor again this year and will be at several of the events! If you have an appreciation for great food and want to enjoy a beautiful afternoon with live music and great drink, you should grab your tickets now!
