Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant is lining up a new outpost at Perimeter Village in Dunwoody, bringing its Napa-style tasting room and full-service restaurant to the Ashford Dunwoody Road shopping center. The Illinois-based brand is set to add a sizable sit-down option along the Perimeter retail corridor near Perimeter Mall, with plans for a large dining room, a retail wine shop and its wine-club programming, plus a menu built around pasta, steaks and seasonal dishes.
As reported by WhatNow, Cooper’s Hawk is targeting an outparcel at Perimeter Village, with the project expected to be up and running in 2027. That coverage notes the tip surfaced through leasing listings tied to the center’s ongoing repositioning.
Planned site and size
Kimco Realty’s property listing for Perimeter Village highlights an outparcel on Ashford Dunwoody Road and shows a roughly 10,600-square-foot restaurant pad marked as occupied by Cooper’s Hawk. Kimco Realty places the future space within the Perimeter Village footprint and provides contact information for leasing inquiries tied to the rest of the center.
Timeline and footprint
Local reporting indicates the new restaurant would span roughly 11,000 square feet, with indoor seating for about 260 guests and a covered patio that could handle about 60 more. Tomorrow’s News Today Atlanta reports that Cooper’s Hawk is aiming for a late-2027 opening and plans to serve lunch, dinner and a weekend “brunch & bubbles” service once doors open.
Company background and local debut
Cooper’s Hawk made its Atlanta-area debut in Alpharetta in February 2025, a rollout covered by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which highlighted the brand’s tasting-room format paired with a full dining room and retail market. The chain leans into a Napa-inspired wine-tasting experience alongside a contemporary American menu. Cooper’s Hawk’s own locations page lists additional “coming soon” sites, and corporate materials state that the company operates dozens of restaurants nationwide today, according to Cooper’s Hawk.
What it means for Perimeter Village
Perimeter Village is in the middle of a broader makeover that includes a Kroger-anchored redevelopment of the former Walmart footprint, a project that has already entered local review and zoning discussions. Rough Draft Atlanta has reported on upcoming Dunwoody hearings tied to the Kroger proposal, underscoring why a destination restaurant could be an appealing piece of the puzzle for the center’s owners. If the Cooper’s Hawk plan moves ahead, the addition would bolster Perimeter Village’s evening and weekend draw and plug a national wine-focused operator into the local dining mix.
