Celebrating its milestone 10th anniversary this year, the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival will spotlight the successes of the past decade and bring attendees back to their roots for a weekend filled with Southern culinary delights. From May 28-31, the 2020 iteration of the Festival produced by Elizabeth Feichter in conjunction with Agency 21 Consulting will highlight the traditions and defining cultures that laid the groundwork for the region’s cuisine as we know it today, while simultaneously showcasing the innovation coming out of modern Southern kitchens – the trends, fusions, and next generation of talent. The Festival will also pay homage to the talent that have been supporters and family over the last 10 years. Atlanta Food & Wine Festival will stay true to its origins, offering attendees from across the country a unique opportunity to come together to enjoy the dishes and spirits of the Southeast through immersive Learning Experiences, epic Tasting Tents, and curated dinners and events. Celebrate alongside the region’s top chefs, sommeliers and mixologists from Texas to Washington D.C. The festival is welcoming some amazing new talent this year, including 2020 James Beard Foundation Semifinalists Chris Wilkins (Root Baking Co. in GA) and Ron Hsu (Lazy Betty in GA), and many others including Sara Bradley (KY), Brad Deboy (DC), Paul Taylor (DC), Matt Tunstall (SC), Brian Noyes (VA). Returning founding talent, who have been instrumental longstanding supporters of the festival, includes Neal Bodenheimer (LA), Todd Thrasher (DC), Eric Crane, CWE (GA), Kevin Ouzts (GA), Chris Lilly (AL), Matt Lee and Ted Lee (SC), Mark Abernathy (AR), Todd Richards (GA), Miles Macquarrie (GA), Steven Satterfield (GA), and David Guas (VA). “Ten years is quite a landmark year for us. We want to honor and include themes from previous years while also looking forward to the culinary trends of the future. As always, we love to explore new flavors, dishes, and ingredients from unexpected places across the region, and this year will be no different,” said Atlanta Food & Wine Festival Co-Founder Elizabeth Feichter. “This year’s celebration offers a refreshed structure for the Festival itself, shifting away from an Advisory Council and offering even more ways for all talent to contribute and be celebrated than ever before.” Atlanta Food & Wine Festival prides itself on having an extensive weekend of programming and events where guests can eat, drink and explore the South’s rich culinary traditions from the best talent in the Southeast. Below are a select few of the salivating offerings attendees can choose from in 2020 when tickets go on sale next month: Learning Experiences Between talent-led classes and an extensive roster of learning seminars throughout the weekend, guests will have 58 different opportunities to receive hands-on instruction, participate in panel discussions and sip and savor tastings from the region’s top talent. From unexpected pairings to new techniques, the spectrum of topics encourages guests to explore new sides of their palates – and offer endless opportunities for Instagram-worthy enjoyment and entertaining – including something for everyone’s palate.
