2022 Georgia Food & Wine Festival

CL Critic Kevin C. Madigan Recommends: A new food and booze festival comes to Cobb County this spring with myriad dishes, celebrity chefs and culinary experts. The festival is touting “a wide variety of events for all taste buds and budgets.” A main event on Saturday, Mar. 26 will offer tastings of 400 varieties of wine, beer and spirits, as well as cooking demonstrations from 50-plus restaurants and artisans around the South. ‘Classes From the Georgia Masters,’ ‘Oyster Roast VIP Lounge,’ ‘Drinks, Meat & Three,’ ‘Georgia’s Best Whiskey Cocktail Challenge’ and ‘Fired Up” are all on the schedule. “There will be so many great beverage tastings and participating restaurants, fantastic artisans and great live music,” says co-founder Jan Gourley. — KCM
