Athens Wine Weekend

Athens Wine Weekend provides two days of events for both the wine aficionado and those who'd like to learn more alike . This weekend features more than 100 wines from around the world, seminars by wine experts and an amazing Gourmet Dinner with wine pairings for each course. 

Friday's reception is a sampling of several chefs' cooking artistry, all paired with the perfect wine to arouse the palate. Wine lovers can purchase tickets to select wine seminars on Saturday, as well as a premier Food and Wine experience. 

The Saturday afternoon Grand Tasting will showcase hundreds of wines from around the world in the Grand Hall from 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

The Gourmet Dinner on Saturday night is a treat for the senses, featuring carefully selected wines with each course. As each course is served, the weekend's emcee introduces the dish and the wine, explaining the interplay between the two and why each wine was selected. The dinner is one of the most eagerly anticipated aspects of the week.  This six-course Gourmet Dinner featuring dazzling presentations, expertly complemented by a wine selected specifically for each course is from 6:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. in Athena Ballroom.
