We went inside first to order and ended up getting two flights to try different options and a charcuterie board. Since we had a lot to carry, we decided to stay inside for a bit, and I'm so glad we did. We started chatting with the owners, and they shared such a sweet story about the winery and their friendship. It honestly made me and my best friend look at each other like "okay, should we open a winery too?!" lol After we finished, we got a bottle of the "Best Friends" red wine, which was perfect for us, and then headed outside to enjoy the weather. The whole vibe was great felt like we were at a little Napa Valley winery. This is a nice relaxed spot with great wine, great energy, and such kind people. Will certainly be back.

We need more of this! Chill live music, good drinks, and a great atmosphere. There were lots of people hanging with their dogs and babies, and they had a blind tasting of three wines that we sampled. You had to try to guess which type of wine you were drinking, and they gave you a list of the possibilites with the tasting notes as emojis. Cute idea, and we were only 1/3, but it entertained us. Can't wait to go back for more live music (hopefully soon!).

This was BY FAR the best wine tour/tasting I've ever been on! Myself and a group of girls (total of…read more8) came out to Blue Ridge this weekend to celebrate our friend's Bachelorette party! Everything about this tour was amazing. But the shining star... our tour guide Jerome! He was an absolutely perfect guide and great guy! (We were very sad to say bye to him at the end of the day!) He was SUPER knowledgeable about wine and was able to explain things in a way that was easy to understand, and we learned so much from him! He took us to three great wineries, we got to spend about 2 hours at each I think is what it came out too. All the wines we had were fantastic and with his help, we were able to get so much out of the tasting experience. Since we were staying in Blue Ridge, we had the option to drive to one of the wineries to meet Jerome, and then he drove us to the wineries from there. He was a great & safe driver, the van was comfortable and he even had water and snacks for us! Also, they provided lunch for us at the first winery! They had a great choice of options (including vegetarian) and it was delicious!! (I personally got the brisket tacos and it was so good!) We would HIGHLY recommend contacting Pop The Cork if you're in town - and if you can, request Jerome - you will absolutely not regret it and will love him! THANK YOU again for making this day so amazing and special for us and our bride to be!

Very nice place to enjoy especially if it was warm we went in the cold months.

The wine was ok, not sweet enough for me. We may try again a different kind of wine :)

Today's Frankie Beverly - An American Original Soul Brunch (July 12th) at City Winery Atlanta was…read moreabsolutely outstanding! The band Pure Soul delivered an incredible tribute to Frankie Beverly & Maze. Their performance was spot on--capturing not only the timeless sound and energy of the music, but also sharing the history behind Frankie Beverly, the band, and the songs that have touched generations. It truly felt like taking a wonderful trip back in time while celebrating the legacy of an iconic artist. The tickets started at $30, with brunch purchased separately. In my opinion, the entire experience was well worth the price of admission and the brunch. The quality of the live performance alone made it a memorable afternoon, and the brunch only added to the overall experience. City Winery's Atlanta brunch buffet is offered separately from the show ticket. The venue was clean, comfortable, and relaxing, creating the perfect atmosphere to enjoy great music, good food, and wonderful company. This wasn't my first visit to City Winery, and I can honestly say that every experience I've had here has been enjoyable. If you love classic soul music, great live performances, and a relaxing Sunday outing, I highly recommend attending one of the Pure Soul tribute brunches. I'll definitely be back!

Service: Fast, professional service with smile. Food: Order the seared salmon with Caesar salad. The salmon came out luke warm. I enjoy my food hot, but since it was a packed house, I gave them a pass. The Caesar salad was delicious and seasoned perfectly. Drinks were watered down, not pleased, especially for the price. Side note: CW packs this place out, so make sure you sit either in the front middle section facing the stage or in the very back (caged in section). Other than the issues I stated above, good vibes,you'll have a great time!

Taste Wine Bar and Market is a self-serve wine bar that runs various specials throughout the week…read more It's located in The Works and offers free parking for 2 hours in the garage. Upon arrival, you check in and show your ID and present a credit card. You are then given a card that you use to purchase what wine you want. They have a wide variety from whites to rose to red to sweet wines. All the ones we tried were good. The prices are a bit high - about $4-5 for a small pour (my guess for red is about 2 oz), ~$9 for a medium pour, and ~$18 for a glass. It's a great concept though where you can try what you want but it can get pricey quick. They have different food options as well, including salads, sandwiches, and charcuterie boards. We went on a Friday and they had live jazz outside which was great to listen to. It's a great spot for a date night or for a small group of friends. It can get crowded so it might not be as good for larger groups.

I absolutely love the concept of sampling different options--they let you choose between a taste, a half pour, or a full pour, and the prices are really reasonable. If you fall in love with a specific wine, they have a market side where you can buy a bottle to take home. They also have a food menu if you want to grab a bite while you sip. The staff is super friendly, and the whole vibe is perfect for a girls' night, a fun date night, or just exploring new wines.

ATL Vineyard Express........Is it possible to give more than 5 stars? This was a surprise for me by…read moremy significant other "he received plenty brownie points for this oneJ". Oh what a wonderful surprise and experience it was........So let's just say that I was very stunned to learn that there were so many wineries in the state of Georgia. This is how my journey unfolded on this beautiful day; I will start with Tom Ward the owner....Mr. Wine Connoisseur himselfJ Very knowledgeable and full of wisdom beyond his years. There wasn't a question that I asked or wanted to learn about wines that Tom wasn't able to provide me with an answer for. Tom was friendly, kind, attentive and very accommodating. Once we got on the tour bus, filled with snacks, water, wine and movies I was like a kid on her way to her very first field trip. We made a stop at one of his pickup locations to pick up two additional lovely ladies. We stopped and had a celebratory toast to begin our wine adventure; it was amazing. From there, we drove to the first winery "Wolf Mountain Vineyard". It was cozy, beautiful, with great ambiance. We had a quick bite (very delicious) and of course several rounds of wine tasting. Then we were off again to our 2nd winery "Serenity Cellars". This in itself was an amazing experience. The staff was remarkable; there was a wide selection of wines red and white. I am normally a sweet wine drinker, but this definitely gave me an opportunity to expand my palate and gave me a better appreciation for different wines. Of course, I could not forget the beautiful young lady that serenaded us with her lovely voice. Lastly, our 3rd winery "Kaya Vineyard & Winery". This winery was a little bit more upbeat, much younger crowd, not as quaint as the other wineries but nonetheless still good. There wines were ok but didn't knock me off my feet. Yes, I still drank it.....all of it lol. The view was amazing, one of the most beautiful rainbows I have ever seen. It was just my luck because then the second rainbow came out; first time ever seeing a double rainbow. So I said all this to say, no matter your level of expertise with wines this is the tour for you. There is something for everyone. I bought several bottles of wine and have been enjoying some and put the rest up for another time. I am a light weight so on the way home I slept like a baby while everyone else enjoyed a great documentary on wines. I am actually looking forward to doing this tour again. Maybe in the Spring or the Summer. One of my best tours ever!!!!! I applaud the level of excellence received at ATL Vineyard Express.
