More growth for the sweet South.

                            To kick off Spring 2026, The High Museum of Art wrapped its 34th annual Wine Auction; the museum’s largest fundraising event that directly affects exhibitions, programming, and arts education for Atlanta and its surrounding communities.

The weekend pushed The High into $37M range for funds raised and was full to the brim of activities including, a winemaker dinner, Palette & Pour: A vintners reception, and the finale live auction luncheon to cork the weekend.

In addition to the celebration, this year’s Winery of Honor, ZD Wines, has instilled their loyalty to the Wine Auction for thirty years and contributed their unwavering support for the Atlanta community. 

“The High Museum of Art remains a cornerstone of culture in Atlanta,” said Rand Suffolk, Director at The High Museum of Art. “As we gather for our 34th year, we are especially excited to begin a new chapter for the Wine Auction at Pullman Yards — a setting that reflects both the rich history of our city and the continued evolution of this cherished event,” he added.

Weekend Breakdown…

Winemaker Dinner
An exclusive, culinary clash between Atlanta’s most talented chefs and exceptional vintners in an evening to tastefully connect both ends of the table.

Palette & Pour
An elevated evening and a new twist on an old tradition where guests sampled night-long pours from participating vintners and bites from local culinary artists. This alongside live spins with a matching ambiance was the precursor to the live auction.

Live Auction
In a crescendo to cap off the weekend, guests had the rare opportunity to sip wines from vintners’ private reserve accompanied by a seated luncheon. Following the feast, guests thrillingly engaged to bid on exclusive experiences, breathtaking trips, and, of course, rare wines.

Feeding Atlanta’s undeserved communities one vegetable at a time.

The Grocery Spot is a non profit organization that feeds its Atlanta community for free of charge three days out of the week.

Founded in 2021, The Grocery Spot initially opened its doors as a for-profit grocery store with the goal of providing high-quality, affordable food to the Grove Park and Center Hill community. Through connection with residents, the organization gained a deeper understanding of the challenges faced, it became evident that the issue of food insecurity was a far more pervasive and urgent matter.

Driven by The Grocery Spot’s dedication to addressing needs of the neighborhood, they made the bold decision to transform The Grocery Spot into a nonprofit, free grocery store. This transition was rooted in the desire to create a sustainable solution to the systemic issue of food insecurity and food justice in the community.

By shifting focus from profit to people, The Grocery Spot cultivates a space where everyone is welcome, and where access to fresh, nutritious food is not a luxury, but a fundamental right. For more information on The Grocery Spot, visit them online and on social media.
