The Time-Honored Tradition Supporting the High Museum of Art Expands to One of Atlanta’s Premier Cultural Hubs

Tickets on Sale Now

Pullman Yards will welcome one of Atlanta’s most celebrated philanthropic traditions this spring as the High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction will get an upgrade when it takes place at the historic Kirkwood property for its three-day celebration, March 26–28, 2026. Long associated with and benefiting the High Museum of Art since 1993, the High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction partners with a new backdrop that reflects both its growth and its continued investment in Atlanta’s cultural landscape. For Pullman Yards, hosting the auction represents a meaningful alignment between two institutions committed to arts, education, and community impact.

Since its founding, the High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction has raised more than $37 million in support of the High’s exhibitions and education programs, including initiatives that serve approximately 35,000 schoolchildren each year. As the event has expanded in scale and ambition, Pullman Yards offers the space, flexibility, and architectural character to support its next chapter while preserving the signature experiences longtime patrons expect.

“As Pullman Yards continues to evolve as a creative and cultural focal point for Atlanta, hosting the High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction underscores its commitment to partnering with institutions that shape the city’s artistic and educational future,” says Adam Rosenfelt, Co-owner of Pullman Yards. “The High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction coming to Pullman Yards is more than a change of venue. It is a shared investment in Atlanta’s next chapter, one that honors legacy, embraces innovation, and brings the community together in a space defined by history and reinvention.”

The 2026 High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction weekend at Pullman Yards will feature winemaker dinners, the Live Wine Auction Luncheon, and the March 27 Palette & Pour reception, now open to individual ticket holders. The Live Auction will again include the Dick Denny Paddle Raise, established in 2006 and responsible for generating more than $2.1 million in support of the High’s Art Access student field trip program. Elizabeth Ralls and Erica A. Thomas will serve as 2026 cochairs, and this year’s Winery of Honor is ZD Wines, the family-owned Napa Valley producer founded in 1969 and a supporter of the auction since its inaugural year. Tickets and benefactor packages for the 2026 High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction are available at high.org.

Pullman Yards is located at 225 Rogers St NE. Atlanta, GA 30317. For more information on Pullman Yards, visit pullmanyards.com.
