The Atlanta Food and Wine Festival is a four-day culinary event held each September, spotlighting Southern food, wine, beer, and craft spirits with more than 200 celebrated chefs. Presented by Invesco QQQ and staged at The Home Depot Backyard, it combines walk-around tasting tents with themed events like Whiskey and Fire.
Its regional culinary mission makes it one of Georgia's strongest food events.
The festival positions itself as a showcase specifically for Southern culinary talent, distinguishing it from broader national food festivals by centering flavors, chefs, and traditions tied to the American South
Its signature Tasting Tents, presented by Goya Foods, anchor the event alongside curated experiences such as Whiskey and Fire Atlanta and newer additions like Stacked, a burger-focused social, and Southern Fried, a dedicated fried chicken event, giving the four-day format both broad tastings and tightly focused culinary deep dives
The festival's core Tasting Tents format
featuring walk-around access to a large roster of chefs at once
has remained its central offering even as themed spinoff events have been added and changed over the years
reflecting an ongoing focus on showcasing the depth of Southern culinary talent rather than any single signature dish or chef
