The second annual BeltLine Wine Stroll is set for Sept. 27 from 1 to 6 p.m. The milelong wine tasting event will take place along the Eastside Trail from 1 to 5 p.m. Attendees will visit more than a dozen restaurants and businesses, from Poncey-Highland through Inman Park to the Old Fourth Ward, while enjoying sips of various vinos and discovering new venues along the iconic BeltLine.
