Winery tours — Dahlonega · North Georgia wine country
Dahlonega winery tours, one car from door to door.
North Georgia wine country begins where GA-400 runs out, about seventy miles north of Buckhead, on the Dahlonega Plateau — the heart of Georgia wine country. Wolf Mountain, Montaluce, Three Sisters, Kaya, Cavender Creek: two or three of them make an afternoon without ever doubling back. One car takes the whole day, from your door to the last tasting and home again, which is the one stretch of a winery day nobody should be doing from the driver's seat.
A day up the valley
Buckhead
Pickup anywhere in the metro; GA-400 north is the whole first hour of the day.
First tasting
On the plateau by late morning, when the rooms open and the light is still low over the vines.
Lunch and a second
The estates sit minutes apart up here, so a plate of something and another pour barely cost you any road.
The long view
Somewhere with the Blue Ridge for a backdrop, timed for the late-afternoon sun.
Back down GA-400
Asleep somewhere around Alpharetta, home while the evening is still yours. This is the part you actually booked.
Wine country is best seen from the passenger seat — the whole way up GA-400 and the whole way home.

Questions
How long is a tour?
As long as the day wants to be. The rate is set for the day, not metered by the hour, so a long lunch or one more tasting room never changes it.
Can you recommend vineyards?
Tell us what you are after — Wolf Mountain's medals, Montaluce's villa and restaurant, the Blue Ridge views at Kaya, the older estate vines at Three Sisters — and we route the day around a handful close enough to pair without an hour of driving between each.
Do you pick up in Atlanta?
Yes — anywhere in metro Atlanta, priced as one flat rate that includes the ride home.
