WHAT:
Epicurean Atlanta is closing out the year with a lineup designed for the camera, the palate, and the holiday-content cycle. Think igloo dining on a city street, cocktails served in ornaments and “snow globes,” a wine-vs-beer throwdown, an Ugly Sweater party, and a pastry chef teaching guests how to recreate nostalgic holiday sweets. Every experience leans into sensory appeal and strong visuals that stand out in today’s crowded December coverage.

Try these bold, festive showstoppers crafted for holiday social feeds at Reverence: the Ornamentini, Sugar Plum Sour, and Snow Globe Cocktail. Runs Nov. 24 through Jan. 31. Drinks range from$17-$20.
Celebrate the holidays with the Winter Epicurean Igloo Experience (available Dec. 1- Jan. 31), a signature Atlanta holiday dining moment at Reverence.

Reservations: $95 Mon-Thu; $120 Fri-Sat. Cocktails available à la carte. Menu details and reservations available online.
Everybody wins with The Art of Pairing: Wine vs. Beer Dinner (Dec. 4), a five-course pairing battle between A Cork in the Road and Three Taverns Brewery. Guests taste both with each dish – from Sea Scallop Tartar to 24-hour Short Rib Pinwheels – and choose the winner. Tickets are $80 per person (21+) and include five wines, beers, and dishes featuring flavors of Reverence. Tickets available online.
Whether silly, kitschy or just plain ugly, all sweaters are welcome at the annual Ugly Holiday Sweater Party at The Office Bar (Dec. 11). Enjoy a jolly good time complete with festive cocktails, complimentary light bites, live music by Ethel, and a contest where one winner will be named ugliest of them all. Ticket purchase is not necessary for entry, but guests can RSVP for free online. Seating is first-come, first-served.
Join Epicurean Atlanta to make spirits – and Midtown – bright for an epic Christmas Tree Lighting (Dec. 11 at 6 p.m.). Happening in front of the hotel, this kickoff to the holidays will feature a festive performance by Ethel, complimentary sweet treats and hot cocoa or cider, and an abundance of holiday cheer along W Peachtree Street. The celebration is free to attend, and guests can RSVP online. Insider’s tip: Stop by the Ugly Sweater Party at The Office Bar, happening the same night from 5 to 9 p.m.
Pastry Chef AJ DeDiego leads a hands-on dessert workshop inside the Epicurean Theatre with Holiday Baking Like a Champ (Dec. 18).
