  North Georgia Wine Country

The North Georgia Mountains region is home to several great wineries and there's wine tastings, paired dinners and individual tours available nearly all year long.

The mountain climate is well suited for growing the varietal wines that have won international awards and local pride in our region.

This year's crop will be of interest to collectors. November is a great time to book a B&B or cabin rental accommodation and tour the local wineries and vineyards for Harvest Time Tastings.
