The Atlanta Food & Wine Festival (AFWF) returns to Historic Fourth Ward Park this year with its Tasting Tents on Saturday, Sept. 11 and Sunday, Sept. 12.
Chefs and mixologists will be on hand along with wine pop-up stations, a cocktail garden, live music, and an interactive food and beverage pairing area. A percent of proceeds from this year’s curated dinners, lunches and brunches supports local charities Second Helpings Atlanta and Children of Conservation.
“We’re happy to be back, doing what we love, which is creating and executing first class events for our consumers, chefs and partners,” says Brett Friedman, Partner & CEO of Agency 21, which owns and operates Atlanta Food & Wine Festival. “This year especially, we are looking forward to showcasing creative cuisine with talented chefs from all 13 Southern states, as a tribute to returning to normalcy.”
After a pandemic pause, when the festival commenced in a virtual capacity, attendees can once again connect live and in-person in the Tasting Tents to indulge in the South’s finest flavors, featuring the up-and-coming as well as some favorite destinations and memorable brands.
Tasting Tent tickets are now on sale with early bird pricing available until July 23. The festival’s lineup of intimate dinners, lunches and brunches taking place from September 9 through September 12 will be announced in the coming weeks.

Foodie Vacation
Epicurean Hotel will be dining destination
By Collin Kelley
If you’ve ever wanted to take a foodie vacation, then checking into the new culinarythemed Epicurean Atlanta hotel in Midtown might just make your mouth water.
The hotel, which is part of Selig Development’s 1105 West Peachtree development, is taking reservations for a late September opening.
Epicurean’s signature restaurant, Reverence, will be under the direction of Executive Chef Ewart Wardhaugh and feature a seasonally adapted menu of fresh fish, meats, and produce.
The Epicurean Theatre will present guests the opportunity to watch, learn, experience, and create with award-winning chefs, star mixologists, buzzworthy winemakers and talented artists to bring their inner connoisseur to life.
Aerial Kitchen & Bar will be in a garden setting on the 9th level Sky Terrace adjacent to the hotel pool. The menu will offer signature cocktails and seasonal bites. Hotel guests enjoying a swim will be able to get private poolside cabana service.
Situated across from the entrance to the hotel in the development’s 31-story office tower, The Office Bar is being positioned for casual meetings, collaborative lunches, or pre-dinner cocktails. The space will have lounge seating, communal tables, and bar seating. Lunch and dinner will be served seven days a week, with an emphasis on salads, hearty bowls, cocktails, local craft beers and an elevated wine list.
Along with the hotel and office tower, the 1105 West Peachtree development will also have a 64-unit luxury condo tower, and those residents will also have access to the restaurants and bars. The hotel itself will have 178 guest rooms including 22 suites and 11,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor adaptable function space for meetings and events.
