FESTIVAL HOT TOPICS

Each year, the Festival’s Advisory Council develops the weekend’s

programming and events. While many topics are covered during

the more than 80 learning experiences, Tasting Tents, dinners, and

events each year, a handful of topics seem to be front-of-mind

across the Council. This year’s “hot topics” include:

➢ Breakfast – Start Your Day the Southern Way: From buttermilk

biscuits to a certain house of waffles, Southerners know how to

make the most of the day’s first meal, which often incorporate

international flavors and techniques.

➢ Street Foods – Gas Station Cuisine and Side-of-the-Road

Delights: Pull on over for fast, delicious snacks and meals chock

full of nostalgia and discover how the traditions of street food from

Southern regions around the world have shaped our food culture.

Ingredient Spotlight Series: Uncomplicated, unprocessed,

uniquely special, there is a bounty of Southern ingredients that

exemplify the essence of Southern cuisine and our region’s history,

including:

• Crab Fat

• Peanuts

• Black Peppercorns

• Alligator

• Swamp Cabbage

Some Festival events were so popular we’re serving them up again…

but with a twist.

epicurean-inspired road trip featuring chef creations, luscious libations,

The Connoisseur Dinner Series, curated by the Lee Bros., takes a more

rustic and hands-on approach to our previous seated dinner concepts:

• Dining by Personality

Thursday, June 1

Hot, spicy, salty, sweet, Bourbon or Bordeaux. Take the quiz and

enjoy a menu based on your personality.

explore the communal, eat-with-your-hands traditions that

define Southern eating around the globe.

Atlanta Food & Wine Festival Masterclasses

From the fervent novice to the well-seasoned food and drink devotee,

these in-depth, two-hour seminars create the opportunity to take a deeper

look into a variety of topics:

• Rare Breeds: Part II

Friday, June 2

It’s time for part two of our 2016 bourbon and country ham class. Perfect

for the seekers of the hard-to-find, this intimate Masterclass will explore

rare and limited-quantity bourbons, while pairing them with equally

special country hams with award-winning chef Sean Brock as the host

and bourbon distillers Drew Kulsveen, Willett Family Estate single barrel

bourbon, and Preston Van Winkle, Old Rip Van Winkle.

• 82 Turns 35

Saturday, June 3

Exalted by many in the wine industry as the greatest vintage of

modern times, the famous 1982 Bordeaux vintage turns 35 this

year. These historic and now rare wines were not just considered

“great” but were seen as the beginning of the modern age of wine,

the end of an old era. During this intimate Masterclass, guests will

have the opportunity to taste from a rare selection of 1982 Premiere

Cru Bordeaux wines with impeccable provenance: Chateau Lafite

Rothschild, Chateau Latour, and Chateau Mouton Rothschild.

• In the RAW: Convergence of Food, Style & Southern Hospitality

Saturday, June 3

Artist and author William Morris once said, “have nothing in your houses

that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” Imagine

removing all of the distraction from a delicious meal or a beautifully

set table, and focusing solely on the simple – raw – elements that go

into them, from the vegetables on the plate, to the clay vessel they are

served on, to the handstitched apron you are wearing. This happy hour

Masterclass will provide an in-depth look into the materials that inspire

you to entertain, enjoy and imbibe, in the raw.

SOUTHERN GUMPTION: Exciting 2017 Program Additions Include

designer-built vignettes at ADAC.
