News Source: City Winery Atlanta Thank you for being a part of the City Winery Atlanta family. These have been trying times for everyone, and we are so grateful for your continued support. The length of our temporary closure is unclear at this time, but we are optimistic that it will only last a short while. Ultimately, that timing will be dictated by uncontrollable factors that we are hopeful will work in our favor sooner than later. This decision is not one that we took lightly, and one that has been made in order to preserve the continued existence of City Winery. I believe we will return stronger than ever to serving you, our incredible guests, putting on concerts, hosting private parties, and supporting our amazing team members, but for now, we are truly in survival mode. Although this process has been more painful to endure than we initially thought, we will get through this. In the meantime, take care of yourselves and your communities, and if you are able, please consider supporting City Winery by:
We will continue to communicate with you on our efforts throughout this pause, and we look forward to sharing hopeful news of safely reopening soon. Peace, Michael Dorf Founder & CEO, City Winery *All wine orders will ship from City Winery Hudson Valley during this temporary pause READERS OF THIS ARTICLE ALSO ENJOYED
