    Hi, I really enjoyed reading about this wine-tasting week. I’m researching a trip to the US for next year, and will see if we can incorporate a visit to Georgia to coincide with this week in 2021. Presumably it’s an annual event? 

    I particularly liked your tips for enjoying the visits – I went to a wine tasting event in Italy a few years ago and definitely didn’t have the right shoes on!

      Hi Teri, This has been an annual event in recent years so I certainly hope that it continues into the future. The participating vineyards and dates may change slightly each year, but you can generally expect a 10-day event in mid to late March that includes most of the vineyards in the North Georgia mountains.

    Wine tasting is such a fun activity. I think your travel tips are great and you have really thought of everything to be prepared and ensure for a fun and enjoyable time. The list of wineries and vineyards is pretty long. Do you have any personal recommendations or list of must visits? I would be interested in a little more information about each winery and vineyard just to make a more informed decision on which ones are the “can’t” miss.

      Hi Lee, There is additional information about each vineyard in each of the links. 

      Personally I think they are all worth a visit, and especially during this event when it’s so affordable. It’s hard to know what is going to resonate most with an individual, so this is a nice way to try out a bunch and find your own favorites.

      If you are limited on time, I’d recommend going to the ones that are located closest to you. Some of my personal favorites include Engelheim, Serenity Cellars, Chateau Meichtry, 12 Spies Vineyards & Farm, Stonewall Creek Vineyards, and Crane Creek Vineyards… I’m looking forward to seeing if my favorites change this year!

    Thank you for sharing such an incredible article with us about Georgia Mountains Wine Highway Week. A very good article with useful information (the best I have read about the event). I think this article will be very useful for anyone traveling to the Georgia Mountains. By reading your article I understand to expect busier tasting rooms during the event than at other times of the year. Though I have not visited the Ga mountains before, I am looking forward to the opportunity to visit. I must say that this article is very helpful and informative – I am going to bookmark and definitely share this article with my friends.

    Thank you for your post. It is timely article for me. My family plan to visit family and friends in Georgia this spring. I will certainly to give tour of Georgia Mountains Wine Highway Week Spring 2020.

    I like your tips for enjoying the 2020 wine highway week. I am a wine lover and my wife doesn’t like wine so much. She will be a designated driver for me and I will be free to enjoy all wine. 

    My wife love hiking around and I am happy to see that there are some distance to different vineyards, which she will certainly enjoy.

    It is so nice that there are so many vineyards in the area. I bookmarked your webpage and will do more research to design a way to fit our family’s plan.

      Thanks so much for the bookmark. There are even more local vineyards in the Georgia mountains than the ones that participate in the wine highway week, so there is still plenty to see at any time of year!

    Hello Alyce, I must say that this article is very helpful and informative. It is great I stumbled upon it because I was in Georgia mountains several times but did not have a chance to visit these vineyards. I am surprised there are so many in just one place. It definitely will be on my map next time I go there.

      Hi Danijel, There is a lot of ground to cover but it is nice that there are groups of vineyards near each other that make for a really nice day trip… or in the case of the North Georgia Wine Highway Week, several really nice day trips!

    Wow, I have never heard of this type of event with that many wineries so close together! Plus the scenery has to be spectacular in the Georgia mountains. It seems like a great couples or group event to do in the spring. I will look into this as a drive in the Georgia mountains would be very beautiful and pair that with a lovely wine-tasting tour to compare different wineries, that sounds totally awesome. Do you think that a weekend or 3 day tour would be enough if you have a budget on your time?

      Hi Patricia, You will be able to see a lot of vineyards in 3 days time with the Wine Highway Week Passport. It’s simply a matter of choosing your favorites and planning your trip!

    Hello; Georgia Mountains Highway Week interests me greatly. For persons like me traveling from outside Georgia will I be able to secure accommodation within the mountain range of wineries? From your glass marking advice, does it mean that you will hand in your glass for filling among some other glasses? 

    I was thinking, I would hold my glass in my hand to have the wine poured in. Whichever way, it sounds interesting! Maybe it will be late for my booking. Spring is just around the corner.

      Hi Dorcas, You can definitely hold on to your glass if you choose. However, after a while, you may want to set it down and having it marked would help you identify it amongst a bunch of other identical glasses.

      Lodging should be available even up until the last minute for this event.

    I feel lucky to have landed on this site. A vacation has been on my mind, but I usually get confused over where to spend it. I think the 2020 Georgia Wine Highway Week would be the best option here.

    I have never attended any event around the Georgia mountains and I think this would be my best shot.

    But you gave the opinion that visitors should attend with an ID or a proof of their age. Is this really a requirement? I mean, with all the fun there is to be had, carrying an ID with extra carefulness would dull the mood of the event.

    Anyway I’m looking forward to the 20th of March!

      Hi John, If you look even a little bit too youthful, you could be denied service at the vineyards. It’s best to have your ID with you to be sure that you’ll be able to enjoy the wines. Have a great time!!
