The Best Spots For Wine Tours Dahlonega GA

By Harold Baker


Ask anyone in the United States what they think of when they hear the words "wine country" and most will say California. Yes, the Sonoma Valley is ripe with wineries, but it is far from the only place in the country to go on tours. If you are on the east coast or somewhere west and want a change of pace, you can and should consider Wine Tours Dahlonega GA as a wonderful change of pace.

Northern Georgia has some gorgeous foothills and mountains, and the climate in the area as a result of the terrain is perfect for growing grapes. The soil is quite fertile, and as a result, some six wineries have opened their doors for tastings and tours among other offerings. People in the area love it, and it is quickly becoming a huge destination for wine lovers all over the country.

The smallest of these wineries is Cavender Creek, located at 3610 Cavender Creek Road. They focus mostly on quality rather than quantity, producing about 1,400 cases per year, compared to thousands more that other local wineries do. The quality is evident in their American Nortons, cabernets sauvignons and petit Manseng bottles that they produce.

Kaya Vineyard & Winery, 5400 Town Creek Road, is formerly known as Blackstock Vineyards. They reopened and automatically became the largest winery resort across the region. The 12-foot windows in the tasting room, along with a 2,000 square foot covered deck make this a destination for soaring views of the nearby mountains, along with live music.They can hold parties for up to 300 people at a time, making them an event destination.

At 501 Hightower Church Road is the Montaluce Winery & Estates, which make you feel as if you have been swept away to Italy instead of Georgia. The reason is that great care has been taken to make the entire place, including the 25,000 square foot even facility, feel like a Tuscan villa.

Located at 180 Wolf Mountain Trail, the Wolf Mountain Vineyards & Winery is not just about the vino. They also have world class food that makes foodies travel here from all over, along with the expert wine pairings you would expect. They specialize in both European and southern cuisine, so you get a real feel for two different worlds. Their vintages have won over 150 medals from competitions across the country, including for their famous Champenoise sparkling wine.

Located at 439 Vineyard Way, the Three Sisters Vineyards & Winery has a whole lot to offer. They produce up to 4,000 cases of each of the many vintages they offer, so they always have plenty to pour and try at their crash pad deck or rock wall patio, both of which are comfortable for sitting and sipping. They have won over 150 medals and counting from national and local wine competitions, so do not sleep on this 184 acre behemoth of a winery.

If you like a wide variety of wines to try, then you will definitely want to schedule plenty of time to visit Frogtown Cellars, located at 700 Ridge Point Drive. They have an impressive tri-level flow winery, a must considering that they pack 25 grape varieties into just 57 acres of land. These many grapes have turned into wines that have won more medals than any other locally.
