Our distributor and supplier partnerships are what make Wine Over Water and Best Cellars two of the Southeast’s premier wine events. We invite you to be a part of Wine Over Water’s 30th anniversary as well as its smaller, more upscale sister event, Best Cellars.

These events not only celebrate the art of winemaking but directly benefit the preservation of Chattanooga's rich architectural heritage by supporting Preserve Chattanooga, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization providing historic preservation services to our city.
