Terra Terroir

Terra Terroir has earned 18 consecutive Wine Spectator Awards of Excellence, the longest active streak of any restaurant on the Buford Highway corridor. Wine Director Chris Driollet oversees a 220-label list that Wine Spectator spotlighted in a 2020 feature article. The program leads with Burgundian varietals from both France and California, followed by deep selections of American Cabernets and Italian reds built around Chef Charles Zeran's French-American menu. The by-the-glass lineup features numerous Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris options for lighter seafood dishes, and most bottles land under $100.

Driollet hosts 90-minute tastings in a private wine cave for up to eight guests, featuring rare pours and recent discoveries. Winemakers are occasionally invited to lead tastings in the restaurant's garden. The air-conditioned patio is arguably the best in Atlanta, and the warm interior that reviewers describe walk-through-the-door revelation makes this feel more like a Parisian bistro than a strip-mall restaurant in Brookhaven. Open Tuesday through Saturday.

Eighteen consecutive Wine Spectator Awards. A 220-label list curated by a wine director who gets featured in national press. A private wine cave for tastings. Most bottles under $100. All of it hidden in a strip mall on the edge of Buford Highway. Terra Terroir is the wine anchor of the entire corridor and one of the most decorated wine programs in metro Atlanta.
