“Thank you to the City of Atlanta for your patience,” shared founder and CEO Michael Dorf. “The opening of City Winery Atlanta has been a true labor of love, and I promise that it’s worth the wait. The excitement we’ve seen so far is a testament to the music, wine, and food scene in this city, and we’re glad to be a part!”
Executive Chef Jeffrey McGar has prepared a menu of globally influenced, wine focused, and locally sourced cuisine with Southern flair, featuring concert-friendly small plates and sharable dishes. Menu highlights include seasonally rotating flatbread, the Lamb & Beef Burger, and “Dirty Martini” Dip with vodka whipped goat cheese, pimento stuffed olives, jalapeño, Benton’s bacon, scallions, and “everything” bagel chips.
The cocktail program, run by Beverage Director Mani Gonzalez, will include seasonally inspired cocktails with house made bitters and mixers, craft beers, and, of course, an expertly curated 400+ bottle list featuring City Winery-made wines (also available on tap) and selections from renowned international purveyors. All aspects of food, beverage, and service are overseen by General Manager JC Shurts.
Located in Midtown Atlanta’s newest hotspot, Ponce City Market, City Winery is a 26,000 square foot space with a 125 seat restaurant, a 300 seat concert venue, and a huge outdoor patio. The location pays homage to the working winery within by using deconstructed wine barrel staves throughout, bringing wine country to urban Atlanta.
City Winery is pleased to feature several private and semi-private event spaces throughout to host parties from intimate seated dinners for 15 guests to weddings and buyouts that accommodate up to 900.
