The tasting room sits on South Main Street in the North Georgia mountains and pours everything from dry vinifera to sweet muscadine, alongside a gift shop stocked with wine accessories. The winery still holds an annual WineFest for visitors.

HELEN

Georgia's wine trail starts here — one of the state's oldest and largest wineries, pouring award-winning bottles since 1983 from a tasting room just south of Alpine Helen. The lineup spans three labels: vinifera-driven Habersham and Creekstone, aged in American, French, and Hungarian oak, and Southern Harvest, built on native Muscadine grapes. Fruit comes from the original Stonepile Vineyard near Clarkesville and a newer high-elevation site planted in 2017. Tastings run daily.

Sautee Nacoochee

Sautee Nacoochee Vineyards closed permanently at the end of 2015, according to visitor reports, though the vine rows are still visible from the road.

Nearby alternatives in the valley include Yonah Mountain Vineyards and Habersham Winery.

Cleveland

The Cottage Vineyard and Winery has grown Chardonnay, Viognier, Syrah, Merlot, Pinot Meunier, and Muscat grapes on its Cleveland, Georgia estate since 2012, with 360-degree mountain views from the tasting deck.

Tiger

Stonewall Creek Vineyards is a small, family-run winery in Tiger, Georgia, pouring wine by the glass, bottle, or flight from an indoor tasting room or covered outdoor patio.

It holds a 4.5-star rating on Yelp across 59 reviews.

The property regularly hosts weddings and live music, with breakfast included for overnight guests.

Cleveland

This White County wildlife park in Cleveland, also operating as North Georgia Wildlife Park, is built around hands-on animal encounters rather than roadside-zoo viewing: paid sessions with otters, capybaras, sloths, Scottish Highland cattle, and honey badgers, plus VIP and splash-style experiences. It also runs zoo camps, scout overnight stays, school programs, and birthday parties, with a gift shop and season-pass memberships on site.

Cleveland

Lavender Lamb Farm raises sheep alongside lavender on Bugle Drive in Cleveland, in the White County foothills of North Georgia. A website confirms the farm operates under that name, but no further details on hours, products, or visits turned up in research.

Rabun Gap

A working gristmill turned bed-and-breakfast on Taylors Chapel Road, where breakfast is served on a screened porch overlooking the property's waterfall. Innkeepers Mike and Linda build the morning meal around organic, locally sourced Rabun County ingredients and offer massage therapy, gourmet gift baskets, and catered dinners with advance notice. The mill leans into sustainable practices — recycling, green cleaning products, and carbon offsets for guests.

Sautee-Nacoochee

The Gourd Place calls itself the oldest retail gourdcrafting business in the United States, selling Gourdcraft Originals and Gourd Impressions Pottery from a shop and small gourd museum five miles from Helen, Georgia. Visits are by appointment; email ahead for same-day requests.

Tiger

Tiger Mountain Orchards, on Bethel Road in Tiger, Georgia, was a pick-your-own operation for blackberries, grapes, and raspberries in Rabun County. Mapquest currently lists the business as closed, and no active phone, website, or hours could be confirmed — check before planning a visit.

Clarkesville

Terra Incognita Vineyard sits on Vandiver Mountain Road in Clarkesville, in the north Georgia mountains. Beyond wine tasting, the property hosts weddings and private events, offers overnight stays, and maintains hiking and mountain biking trails.

Rabun Gap

Fifth- and sixth-generation farmers Ricky and Clint James run this produce market on Highway 441, a family operation going on more than 40 years. It's open daily, including Sundays and holidays, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., May through October, with pick-your-own fruit alongside a full stand of fresh, locally grown vegetables. It's one of the longer-running farm markets in the northeast Georgia mountains.

Rabun Gap

Georgia's oldest operating bed and breakfast, listed on the National Register of Historic Places on York House Road. Twelve individually decorated rooms come with pillow-top mattresses, private baths, and a full breakfast, with 12 Spies Vineyards and Farm within easy reach for a wine stop. It has run continuously long enough to earn a reputation among North Georgia mountain travelers as the region's original inn.

Clayton

Goats On The Roof is a roadside attraction on Hwy 441 South in Clayton, Georgia, where goats climb ramps to a rooftop pen above a shop of local crafts and sweets. It's part of a small chain found in several Southern tourist towns; specific hours and admission for the Clayton location weren't confirmed.

Mountain City

Herbalist Patricia Kyritsi Howell founded this herbal education program in 1994 to teach the medicinal plants native to the Southern Appalachians, once called the apothecary of the nation for how much grows wild here. Classes historically ran as daylong and weekend seminars, field studies, and hands-on workshops out of the Clayton area. The school has downsized in recent years to occasional classes rather than a full course calendar.

Morganton

Serenberry poured wine from a converted 1920s barn on Tipton Trail in the North Georgia mountains, running seven wines through its tasting list and leaning on solar power for the operation. Reports from 2025 indicate the winery has since closed — confirm current status before planning a visit.

Clayton

Beechwood Inn is a bed-and-breakfast on Beechwood Dr in Clayton, in the Georgia mountain wine country around the Tiger and Rabun County vineyards. Their site was unreachable during research, so current room counts and rates aren't confirmed.

Hillside Orchard Farms has made small-batch jams, syrups, and preserves from its own fruit for more than 30 years in Rabun County, along Old Highway 441. The retail market, in nearby Lakemont, is open Monday and Thursday through Saturday 9 AM to 5 PM and Sunday 1 to 5 PM, with u-pick apples and blackberries, a corn maze, hayrides, and a gem mine on site.

Rabun Gap

12 Spies Vineyards ran a tasting room in Rabun Gap, Georgia for 14 years before closing it for good. The vines are still tended, and existing wine inventory is available through pickup in Georgia or shipping to addresses within the state — order by emailing the winery directly rather than visiting in person.

Mineral Bluff

Pdunk Produce is listed as a working farm on Lakewood Highway in Mineral Bluff, in the mountains of Fannin County. Beyond the address, there isn't much public information on what's grown here or when it's open to visitors — no working phone number, storefront hours, or social media presence turned up in a search. Anyone planning a visit should confirm details locally rather than assuming regular hours.
