Taste of Atlanta Returns for 15th Year

ATLANTA, GA -- Taste of Atlanta returns this fall to Midtown’s Technology Square October 21, 22 and 23 to celebrate 15 years of serving up tastes and sips from Atlanta’s favorite restaurants and cutting-edge chefs.

This year, the food, wine, craft beer and cocktail festival is adding new Saturday 5K run, Race for the Taste. $25 advance tickets for the 2016 festival go on sale June 28 at TasteofAtlanta.com.

The 15th annual Taste of Atlanta will feature more than 200 nibbles, noms, sips and samples from the city’s restaurants. Participants from past years include Colletta, Gypsy Kitchen, One Eared Stag, Chai Pani, The El Felix, Rathbun's and many more.

“We’re thrilled to be celebrating 15 years of Taste of Atlanta in one of the country’s most vibrant cities for food,” says founder Dale DeSena. “Year after year, festivalgoers tell us they love the diversity of tastes offered, from waffles and burgers to global bites from India, Ethiopia, Spain, Italy and Vietnam. The festival has truly come to represent all of the families and professionals from across the world who call Atlanta home.”

In addition to Saturday and Sunday food adventures filled with drool-worthy samples from the city’s hottest young chefs, festivalgoers can also enjoy the VIP Grand Tasting Experience, chef demonstrations, interactive panel conversations and a special Friday night kickoff party.

“Over the years, the festival has become a fall tradition for friends and family to gather together and eat their way through the city, sampling the best dishes and interacting with chefs and mixologists from Atlanta’s top restaurants, all in a single weekend,” says DeSena.

Taste of Atlanta will also offer a special room rate at the Georgia Tech Hotel & Conference Center.
