3. Learn to cook like a master chef.
The festival has expanded its learning experience through the new Masterclass series, two-hour sessions that will cover more advanced topics such in-depth wine pairings led by Master Sommeliers or a class on rare bourbons and country hams.

4. Urban vineyard
No need to journey to the North Georgia foothills for a vineyard experience. This year’s festival will feature Vineyard in the City, a unique pop-up vineyard and event venue—sited in the former Atlanta Symphony Hall lot of 14th Street—that will remain open after the Festival until July 14 for community use. The first of its kind, the pop-up will serve as the site of can’t miss festival events such as a “Grapes from A to Z” wine luncheon and a VIP Sunday Brunch.
