DECATUR, Ga. — Wine lovers packed downtown Decatur on Nov. 8 for the 2025 Decatur Wine Festival, the main fundraiser for the Decatur Arts Alliance. The nonprofit connects the community through year-round arts programming.
Ticket holders received a commemorative tasting glass and access to more than 350 wines from around the world, plus ciders and non-alcoholic options.
The festival footprint shifted toward Ponce de Leon Avenue this year to accommodate construction for the Decatur Square transformation.
