Since 1996, Chateau Elan Winery & Resort has brought wine lovers, food fans, and harvest enthusiasts together each fall for what’s become North Georgia’s most beloved festival tradition. Now in its 29th year, Vineyard Fest has grown into a full two-day celebration spanning the entire estate, featuring 30+ award-winning wines, chef-driven cuisine, live music, hands-on workshops, and curated experiences that make this the must-attend event of Georgia’s fall season.

The 2027 Vineyard Fest date has not yet been announced. Sign up for Vineyard Fest updates to be among the first to know when the date is released.

Vineyard Fest is always evolving. Following the 2026 celebration, we’ve listened closely to guest feedback as we plan for 2027. While some beloved traditions will return, we’re also exploring thoughtful updates to make the experience even more seamless, comfortable and memorable. More details will be shared as plans come together.

Vineyard Fest is a festive, vineyard-inspired celebration, so while there is no enforced dress code, we recommend comfortable, stylish attire suitable for spending the day outdoors. Think elevated casual with comfortable shoes for exploring the estate and enjoying the festivities.

Vineyard Fest takes place primarily outdoors, so we recommend checking the forecast closer to the event and dressing accordingly. Rain or shine, the party goes on.
