Atlanta Food and Wine Festival 2025

The Atlanta Food and Wine Festival returns September 11th through September 14th, 2025! The event is a four-day culinary extravaganza spotlighting the incomparable food, wine, beer, and craft spirits of the South and beyond. The event features its signature walk around tasting tents presented by Goya Foods and gourmet gatherings, gathering over 200 of the most celebrated chefs for a weekend savoring, sipping, and sharing in the exceptional flavors of the region.

At the Atlanta Food and Wine Festival, guests can expect two nighttime and one daytime event, each with a unique theme to tie every plate & pairing all together. With over 60 tasting stations to choose from, tickets to this indulgent affair are all-inclusive of food, drinks, entertainment and more!

This year’s festival theme, “States of Motion,” explores how food connects people across regions, generations, and cultures — through movement, storytelling, and tradition. The 2025 festival promises a dynamic lineup of immersive experiences, walk-around tastings, and gourmet dining with the South’s brightest culinary minds.

The festival is also proud to support Event Zero Foundation’s mission to inspire and guide event organizers, businesses, and communities toward sustainable practices.
