This is one of those nights where you get to truly indulge, celebrating the best of the Alpharetta food scene all under one roof. Think unlimited deliciousness, good drinks, and even better company.

So, what exactly are we talking about here? It’s an all-inclusive tasting evening, meaning once you’re in, you’re feasting without worrying about pulling out your wallet again. You’ll get to sample unlimited bites from over 20 of Alpharetta’s most talked-about restaurants and bakeries. And it’s not just food, honey. They’re bringing the whole bar with craft cocktails, wine, and local Georgia beer tastings to keep your glass full and your spirits high. You’ll even get to watch chefs and mixologists doing their thing live.

This event is perfect for a fantastic date night, a sophisticated girls’ night out, or even a solo treat-yourself evening. It’s all about connecting with the incredible culinary community that Dale DeSena started back in 2001, spotlighting our city’s restaurant scene and the talented chefs behind all our favorite dishes. Taste of Atlanta has been doing this for a minute, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, so you know they know how to throw a party.
