The Sandy Springs Wine Festival is heading back to City Green at City Springs for the first time in three years.

On October 11, the festival will bring more than 175 wines, local restaurant bites, and live music to the downtown district. A portion of Reserve Tasting proceeds will benefit Solidarity Sandy Springs, a local nonprofit food pantry and summer camp fighting food insecurity in the community.

Greater Perimeter Chamber President and CEO Adam Forrand said the festival generates meaningful support for the organization.

The fourth annual event runs from 2 to 5 p.m. at 1 Galambos Way. The Greater Perimeter Chamber is presenting the festival with in-kind support from the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center and Visit Sandy Springs. A large tent will cover City Green, so the event proceeds rain or shine.

Committee Chairperson Karen Trylovich told Appen Media that ticket prices are lower than in years past, citing current economic challenges. Early-bird General Tasting tickets are $65, and Reserve Tasting tickets are $125. Both prices rise on Friday, August 1 to $70 and $135, respectively. Groups of 10 or more can purchase General Tasting tickets for $58.50 each. Prices are all-inclusive with no additional fees at checkout.

The General Tasting, running from 3 to 5 p.m., features more than 175 wines curated by a sommelier, with local representation from select wineries and leading distributors. Bottles will be available for purchase at discounted pricing through participating distributors. Local restaurants will offer light fare from their menus throughout the afternoon, and live music will play during the event.

The festival recently posted on Instagram with previous attendees and staff drinking wine and enjoying live music from previous years.

Reserve Tasting ticket holders get early access from 2 to 3:15 p.m. in a dedicated tasting area featuring wines from private local cellars and distributors, most valued at $70 or more per bottle.

Reserve guests also receive a gift bag with offers from local businesses, a souvenir Riedel wine glass, and admission to the General Tasting. All General Tasting attendees receive a commemorative Riedel glass as well.

Parking is available in the City Springs Parking Deck and the South Lot. Attendees must be 21 or older with valid photo ID. No pets or strollers are permitted.

Confirmed sponsors include Arrow Exterminators and Symphona at the Reserve Level, and Kathryn Theodore Travel LLC, Sommel Y'all, and SouthState Bank at the Vintage Level.
