the top wineries in
north georgia

Our peaceful parcel of Dahlonega land is nestled in the heart of North Georgia wine country, making our area a treasure trove for wine enthusiasts. But even novices and non-drinkers love visiting the wineries in North Georgia for the exceptional ambiance. Breathe fresh air as you look out on well-tended vines and the glorious Blue Ridge Mountains from tasting rooms perched on hilltops. Snack on charcuterie, play a boardgame, and listen to live music in the most picturesque of settings—what better way to spend a leisurely afternoon? 

You’ll also find several North Georgia wineries offering wine tasting classes, vineyard tours, hands-on workshops and events. And with dozens of wineries in North Georgia and eight in Dahlonega’s American Viticultural Area (AVA) alone, all it takes is a short drive in any direction from the lodge to spend a delicious afternoon overlooking the Blue Ridge. 

So sit back and relax—here’s to you.
