Set along 30 acres of pristine shoreline and cradled by towering Georgia pines just 90 minutes from Atlanta, The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee is where refined luxury meets effortless lakeside calm. This spring, March 20–22, 2026, the resort becomes the center stage for the Lake Oconee Food & Wine Festival, one of the Southeast’s most anticipated destination weekends.
Over four inspired days, the festival awakens every sense through inspired cooking, immersive dining experiences and more than 200 wines from renowned vintners across the globe. Celebrated chefs and rising culinary talent take center stage, complemented by an eclectic mix of live performers and visual artists that infuse creativity into every corner of the weekend.
Guests are invited to join us in celebrating the art of food, wine and togetherness, where every table tells a story, and every glass brings people closer. For those looking to experience it all, The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee is offering a Lake Oconee Food & Wine Package, giving guests access to the festival’s most sought-after events - Friday night’s Launch Party and Saturday evening’s Grand Tasting.
This lakeside escape will be filled with flavor, artistry and Southern hospitality.
