The Roswell Wine Festival was established in 2012 by long time friends  Peggy Robinson and Dwight Cunningham. After graduating from college at Johnson & Wales University, both moved to the Roswell and fell in love with the area. With a shared passion for wine, they wanted to create an event which provides an exceptional experience for wine enthusiasts, supports the business community, and benefits local charities. Both co-founders have earned Wine & Spirit Education Trust, level two certifications, with merit. 

Through ticket sales, sponsorships, and restaurant participation, the festival has been able to support the following Roswell organizations: Historic Roswell Beautification Project, ArtAround Roswell, Friends of Roswell Parks, Roswell Fine Arts Alliance, North Fulton Community Charities, the Cottage School, Roswell North Elementary and much more.
