Wineries On 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.

Nestled in the foothills of northern Georgia, the Dahlonega area is known for its fertile valleys, which allow for the perfect weather for growing grapes. There are six wineries in all, and even more tasting rooms all over the area carrying the many bottles and labels from these local makers. Overall, there are 100 acres in the area growing grapes.

Cavender Creek is one of the lucky six wineries that call these foothills home. They handcraft each bottle and pay special attention to quality, meaning they produce less bottles but with higher quality. You can taste that attention to detail in each drop of their cabernet sauvignons, American Nortons and petit Mansengs that they produce in small, artisan batches.

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.

Montaluce Winery & Estates, 501 Hightower Church Road, has a whopping 25,000 square foot facility that is shaped like a Tuscan villa to give you a real sense of place. They can hold weddings and other events, and have daily wine tastings and free tours of the grounds for visitors.

The Wolf Mountain Vineyards & Winery is located at 180 Wolf Mountain Trail and features traditional European and southern cuisine in their restaurant, which are expertly paired with their wines. In fact, Wolf Mountain is known across the entire east coast as a wine destination, in part because their vintages have won over 150 medals in various U. S. Competitions. People also clamor to get a bottle of their famous Champenoise sparkling wine when it comes out each year.

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.

For lots of selection, look no further than the 25 grape varieties grown at Frogtown Cellars, 700 Ridge Point Drive. Though smaller than others at 57 acres, it packs a punch, having a tri-level flow winery and a huge event facility for parties and weddings. It is also the most awarded vineyard in the area, meaning you always get a quality pour.
