Eating With Erica Supper Club at Bacchanalia Atlanta: A Michelin-Starred Evening

Each month, the Eating With Erica Supper Club gathers with intention—to pause, step away from the everyday, and experience dining as it was meant to be. Learn about the Eating With Erica experience: unrushed, thoughtful, and deeply communal. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering it, Bacchanalia Atlanta is something you’ll want to bookmark.

These evenings are not about being seen; they are about being present. They create space for genuine conversation, meaningful connection — much like our Galentine’s Dinner at Hal’s Steakhouse, and the kind of hospitality that lingers long after the last course. See also our Little Baker Supper Club. It is important to me that every supper club dinner feels welcoming and safe—an environment where women can relax, engage, and enjoy — similar energy to an elevated game night — an environment where women can relax, engage, and enjoy a one-of-a-kind dining experience in Atlanta while forming real bonds around the table. For hosting ideas at home, see my spring dinner party guide.

Hosting our supper club at Michelin-starred Bacchanalia was a natural extension of that philosophy. Known for its ingredient-driven menus and impeccable hospitality — pair your dinner with an elegant Prosciutto and Fig appetizer, Bacchanalia represents the very best of Atlanta dining—where food, service, and atmosphere come together seamlessly.

We are also proud to support Atlanta’s hospitality community, celebrating the chefs, farmers, sommeliers, and teams who make evenings like this possible.

So often, we move through meals distracted and disconnected. But nights like these invite a different question—
When was the last time you put your phone down and truly enjoyed the company around you?

Dining with Anne Quatrano

Also joining us for dinner was Anne Quatrano and we had the pleasure of discussing her work, her farm with nine dogs and 300 chickens, and the exciting new Summerland Cafe, named after her family, set to open in January. We talked about her incredible journey of resilience in the restaurant business for over 30 years.

Throughout the evening, we all had the opportunity to ask questions, engage deeply, and hear her insights firsthand. It was inspiring to see a chef who truly understands ingredients, hospitality, and community in action.

The Seasonal Tasting Menu & Wine Pairings

The seasonal tasting menu at Bacchanalia Atlanta was the centerpiece of our supper club experience. Each course was paired with a wine selected to enhance the flavors of the dish, creating a harmonious and memorable dining journey.

We have documented the full menu in detail — every course, every wine pairing, and the tasting notes that accompanied each dish. View the full tasting menu from our Bacchanalia evening to explore each course and pairing in depth.

Each course and wine pairing delighted our members, balancing richness, freshness, and perfectly paced progression. The option to choose courses made the evening feel both intimate and communal, elevating the Michelin dining experience in Atlanta.

There’s something truly magical about gathering around a table, savoring seasonal, thoughtfully prepared dishes, and enjoying wine thoughtfully paired with every course. Nights like these remind us that dining is about more than food—it’s about connection, conversation, and the joy of being present.

An Evening That Lingers

There is something quietly powerful about gathering around a beautifully set table, savoring seasonal dishes prepared with care, and enjoying wines thoughtfully paired with each course. Evenings like this remind us that dining is about far more than food—it is about presence, conversation, and shared experience.

Michelin dining in Atlanta offers a rare opportunity to slow down and appreciate artistry, hospitality, and community at the highest level. From farm-driven menus to intentional wine pairings, restaurants like Bacchanalia create moments that stay with you—long after the last sip of wine and the final bite.

The Eating With Erica Supper Club exists to preserve that feeling. To create space for women to gather thoughtfully, dine beautifully, and reconnect—with themselves and with one another.

So the next time you find yourself craving more than just a night out, remember this: the most unforgettable meals aren’t rushed. They’re shared. The magic is always waiting at the table.
