The Atlanta Food & Wine Festival’s pop-up vineyard, the first of its kind in the US, will kick-off with a sommelier-led luncheon that will explore wines from A-Z. This interactive event will be a cross between a Masterclass and a multi-course meal by award-winning chefs. Our wine experts will lead guests through the “Grapetionary,” integrating wine, knowledge and food into one amazing, mindblowing, palate-pleasing event.

Once again, award-winning authors Matt Lee and Ted Lee have collaborated with Atlanta Food & Wine Festival to develop the Connoisseur Dinner Series. The first of these immersive and intimate dinner experiences is Eat. Drink. Art. Music., a unique collaboration of chefs working together on each element of the meal, like a band works together on a song. The evening will include award-winning wines, music and gorgeous art.
PRIVATE RESIDENCE
Louisiana is a state that runs deep in tradition. These traditions play homage to the blends of French, Spanish, African, Sicilian, Caribbean, Irish, German and America Indian cultures that contributed to the complex cultural landscape that shines in every city corner and in the heart of every Cajun, Creole, or Louisiana transplant. Geaux South is a celebration of the state that gave us jambalaya, beignets, and the muffuletta (among other things). We’re adding a dash of country comfort and a pinch of sophistication to some of the best food in the South, which means our guests should come prepared to savor forkfuls of the traditions, culture, and culinary perfection that have earned the state its legacy. Party like a Cajun at this outdoor evening event, which will feature classic dishes from a team of Louisiana chefs, two whole hogs over a live fire, a live zydeco band, craft beer, wine and specialty cocktails from the CURE New Orleans team.
