Southern food, beverage and culture will be on display this weekend in Midtown Atlanta. The annual Atlanta Food & Wine festival is coming to town and bringing out a collection of great Chefs and Mixologists. There are cooking classes, dinners, events, tasting tents, and my favorite of all, cocktail lessons.

Soak up some southern food, a cocktail, bourbon, beer, wine or some ice cold Coca Cola. If you are considering a visit to Atlanta, now may be the time to book the ticket. The festival is May 10-13 and is located in Midtown Atlanta.
