From newly minted bike lanes and bike sharing, to the Rails to Trails  Atlanta Beltline conservation project, each year Atlanta seems to be refining its “livability quotients”.  The Atlanta Food & Wine Festival just made it that much better. As pop ups go, a vineyard is a novel idea!

Each year the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival team and Advisory Council challenge themselves to create educational, engaging and entertaining programming and events for Festival guests.

Inspired by the McGuigan Wines Dublin City Vineyard, the Festival decided a pop-up Vineyard and event space would be an excellent “wow” for guests.

The first of its kind in the U.S., Atlanta Food & Wine Festival’s Vineyard in the City hosted by OHM Development and presented by PNC, will provide a unique backdrop for Masterclasses, Sunday Brunch, Evening Events and a Grapes from A to Z Sommelier Wine Lunch. After the Festival, the Vineyard will stay in place through June 30 for private events and community use.

There’s still time to visit it! Read more about the events and schedules here.
