The fourth annual Sandy Springs Wine Festival is set to return to Sandy Springs this October. The event will feature more than 175 wines from Georgia-based distributors and wineries representing regions around the world. The festival will also feature food from local restaurants and live music.
Sandy Springs Wine Festival 2026
The 2026 edition of the Sandy Springs Wine Festival will take place on Sunday, October 11. It will be held at City Green at City Springs in Sandy Springs from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. It will take place under a large tent, so it is scheduled to take place rain or shine. The event is also strictly 21+, and attendees must show valid ID.
The event will offer two tasting sessions: the Reserve Tasting and the General Tasting.
The event is produced by the Greater Perimeter Chamber, which lists it among its signature events. The Chamber describes the festival as an opportunity to discover a range of accessible wines.
Event Highlights
