Atlanta is known for its diversity, rich history and world-class cuisine, but don’t count the ATL out when it comes to its sophisticated wine scene. Whether you like to sip your rosé on a patio along the Atlanta Beltline or enjoy a glass of Pinot noir with your favorite tapas, Atlanta has a wine bar for you.

1. Barcelona Wine Bar Inman Park

Wine Bar, Tapas, Mediterranean

Nestled in the trendy Inman Park district sits Barcelona, a popular wine bar and tapas restaurant.

The cozy lounge serves rustic Mediterranean, Spanish, and South American-inspired tapas that perfectly complement their wide selection of wine.

Partnered with Atlanta’s premiere steakhouse, Rathbun’s, Krog Bar is a stylish, low-key Mediterranean wine bar that’s perfect for a date night. You’ll be impressed by their selections of wine by the bottle, plus their charcuterie and cheese list, but don’t worry if a glass of wine is not your thing — the bar boasts exquisite cocktails as well.

The resident Sommelier, Jason Raymond, is available to help you pair your favorite varietal with your meal. Located just 25 minutes from the city, Atlanta wine-lovers know it’s well worth the drive.
