The celebrated wine festival offers wine enthusiasts an evening of curated tastings, small bites created by top chefs, and entertainment.
With the Walnut Street Bridge under renovation, this year’s event will transform nearby Renaissance Park into a magical wonderland with enchanting lighting, new wine experiences, a “garden-party” style gathering space, and entertainment featuring Ben van Winkle and the Figments as well as the Chattanooga Circus Collective. Honorary event chairs Jennifer and Maury Nicely along with a committee of community leaders has developed a true Wine Over Water renaissance for its 30th anniversary.
“For three decades, Wine Over Water has been a highlight of autumn in Chattanooga—where friends gather by the river, sample specially selected wines, and create memories,” said Maury Nicely, Preserve Chattanooga board member and Honorary Co-Chair. Co-Chair Jennifer Nicely, added “We have enjoyed attending the event since 1997, and we are honored to be working with the staff and planning team to bring Chattanooga two unforgettable events. We are involved because we care deeply about history and historic preservation in our city.”
