The fourth annual Sandy Springs Wine Festival raised more than $10,000 to support Solidarity Sandy Springs in its fight against food insecurity.
Despite a gloomy forecast, the sold-out festival drew guests Oct. 11 to celebrate, connect, and give back, according to a release about the event
The Greater Perimeter Chamber produced the festival with the Sandy Springs Wine Festival Committee and a network of sponsors, local restaurants, distributors and community partners.
Held at City Green at City Springs, the event brought businesses and neighbors together under the festival tent, turning an afternoon of wine tasting into support for local families.
“To see our fourth annual Sandy Springs Wine Festival sell out and raise a record amount for Solidarity Sandy Springs was incredibly exciting,” said Karen Trylovich, a Greater Perimeter Chamber board member and festival committee member. “Our sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and guests made this possible. Their generosity will help local families facing food insecurity, and that gives us so much to celebrate.”
The festival featured more than 175 wines, light fare from local restaurants and live music by Rare Affair, with entertainment sponsored by City Springs Theatre Company. The Reserve Tasting offered a curated wine experience that also helped fund the donation to Solidarity Sandy Springs.
“It was an honor for the Greater Perimeter Chamber to produce this event in partnership with the Sandy Springs Wine Festival Committee and collaborate with so many of our communities’ organizations, leaders and businesses,” said Paige Raskin, director of marketing and communications for the chamber. “Together, we created a fabulous afternoon for our guests and an opportunity to give back to the community we serve. Seeing people come together to enjoy themselves while helping their neighbors made the day especially meaningful.”
The chamber and festival committee thanked the 2026 sponsors, restaurant partners, distributors, wine donors and volunteers who supported the event, including grand cru sponsors D. Geller & Son and Live Luxury Real Estate, and wine partner Cellar Filler. Event photographer Joshua Sowemimo of Soso Visions captured the celebration and the check presentation.
Planning is underway for the 2027 festival, with a goal of raising even more for Solidarity Sandy Springs. Businesses that commit early to sponsor next year’s event can lock in 2026 pricing. For sponsorship opportunities, contact Todd Olesiuk at todd@greaterperimeterchamber.com.
