Millennial-focused wine tasting event coming to Atlanta early next month

Wine Riot, an interactive and educational wine tasting event geared toward millennial consumers, will pop into Atlanta next month as part of its 2018 tour.
According to a Wine Riot press release, the event “aims to change the often-intimidating nature of wine and wine tasting into an entertaining and educational experience, while also helping wine brands connect with this important consumer segment.”
The event will feature a number of fun activities, including “Wine 101” interactive tastings focused on wine categories, such as young/mature and oaked/unoaked, as well as 20-minute seminars on certain wine subjects, a worldwide wine tasting booth, a “Bubble Bar” and a “Siploma” trivia game.
As a millennial-focused event, Wine Riot aims to connect young adults with the historical culture of wine in a new, comfortable environment.
“Through Wine Riot, we want to create a new wine language and adventure for millennials,” Wine Riot CEO Richard Stoppard said. “At the same time, we want to be a catalyst for brands to connect with this important consumer segment through education, one-on-one engagement and a lot of fun.”
The Atlanta event will take place Sept. 7 and 8 at The Fairmont, 1429 Fairmont Ave NW, Atlanta, Ga. 30318 and is open to people aged 21 or older. General admission tickets are $65 and can be purchased here.
