What is the Taste of Buckhead?

The Taste of Buckhead is Atlanta’s premier food and beverage tasting event hosted by the Buckhead Business Association (BBA). Various Buckhead businesses provide food tastings and drink samplings, which is included in the cost of your ticket. Unlimited food and drinks? Say no more, sign me up!

I was able to get VIP tickets to this event. VIP tickets allowed early entry to the event, a private ASW Distillery tour, a separate VIP room with exclusive specialty cocktails and food items, VIP gift bag, and interactive stations. While in the VIP room, I was able to meet mayor Andre Dickens. With VIP tickets, I also had access to the general admission tasting room. For me, VIP tickets were worth it. I had access to a lot more food and drinks.

Atlanta Restaurants & Businesses at Taste of Buckhead

I love food festivals and tasting events. This gives me the opportunity try food from different restaurants without breaking the bank. It gives you an opportunity to try a restaurant that may have been on your must try restaurants list.

My favorite food tastings included shrimp and grits from Grits and Eggs Breakfast Kitchen, cajun pasta from Irie Mon Cafe, and steak from Fogo de Chao.

Getting There

Be prepared to valet your car. It was not a lot of self parking available. Valet was complimentary. Taking a rideshare would be best considering how much you will drink.

I had a really good time tasting some of the best food and specialty cocktails from some of Buckhead Atlanta’s best restaurants. It was a really good first time experience, that I can't wait for the next Taste of Buckhead 2024 event.
