SPEED DATING: UNCORKED

Okay, so if you’re single and ready to mingle, listen up because I found something special for you. Love Games Atlanta is bringing their “Speed Dating: Uncorked” event to Taste Wine Bar in Sandy Springs, and it sounds like a whole vibe. We’re talking about a chance to actually meet people face-to-face, have some real conversations, and maybe even find that special someone. This isn’t just some random mixer, it’s a guided experience designed to help you connect.

When you get there, expect an upscale wine bar atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed but still classy evening. You’ll be doing multiple speed-dating conversations, which means you get to chat with lots of different eligible singles. Plus, Kelvin Troy Johnson, The Love Coach of Atlanta, and Avarel Smith, The Queen of Speed Dating, will be hosting, so you know it’s going to be a fun, guided interaction with plenty of opportunities for genuine connections. They’re putting a room full of singles together who are actually ready to meet someone, so no more swiping aimlessly.

This event is specifically for different age groups, which I love because it means you’ll be meeting people who are in a similar stage of life. There are two sessions happening on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at Taste Wine Bar, located at 6405 Blue Stone Road in Sandy Springs. Session 1 is for ages 55 and up, running from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Session 2 is for ages 40 to 55, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. So make sure you pick the session that’s right for you!

This is definitely a great opportunity for a solo hang if you’re looking to meet new people in a low-pressure environment. It could even be a fun double date with a single friend if you both want to put yourselves out there. Just remember to come dressed to impress, with an open mind, and ready to connect.

Now, let’s talk tickets. General Admission is $29, but if you want to elevate your experience, VIP tickets are $49. Heads up, VIP is limited, and seats for both sessions are limited overall, so you really don’t want to wait until the last minute to grab yours. If you’re tired of the app game and ready for some real chemistry, this is your chance. Get your tickets before they sell out!
