Sonoma county in California is almost always the first thing that pops into people's minds when they think of a United States destination for wines. While this is definitely a great destination, it is far to go for east coasters and can be quite crowded. If you want something different, consider taking Wine Tours Dahlonega GA for your next vino fix rather than traveling to California or beyond.
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.
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.
If you want views, try out the Kaya Windery & Vineyard, which used to be called the Blackstock Vineyards. This destination is the largest vineyard in the area, and has facilities fit for a 300 person wedding or other event. You can often find a live band playing on 2,000 square foot covered patio. If you prefer indoors, the tasting room has 12 feet tall windows that give you the best views in the entire area of the local foothills as you sip on new vintages.
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.
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.
The Three Sisters Vineyards & Winery is located at 439 Vineyard Way. One of the biggest reasons it is a destination is the crash pad deck and rock wall patio, both unique experiences that are better with a glass of wine. Each vintage they make produces up to 4,000 cases, some of which are poured at the many weddings they host on the 184 acres of land. TurnerSouth once voted them the Best Winery in the South, which is quite a big deal when you consider how many vineyards are popping up across the region.
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.
