Planning Your 2025 GA Wine Highway
Expect to make lots of great memories on the GA Wine Highway. Follow simple steps to ensure everyone has a safe and fun time.
2025 Georgia Wine Highway Map Offers – GaMountainsGuide.com
Choose Quiet or Lively
Depending on the day of the week, you should notice a big difference in the wine-tasting experience. Visit during the week when the crowds are smaller for a quieter experience and more time to talk with the staff.
For a more lively winery experience, visit on the weekends, when many places offer live music or extended evening hours.
Factor in Travel Time
The above lists of participating wineries are organized by region to help you find groups of wineries that are in the same general area.
Although there are some areas where vineyards or wine-tasting rooms are close together, most wineries are at least a 15-minute drive from each other. Make the most of your Georgia winery tours by visiting groups of vineyards that are close together.
Visit During Wine Highway Hours
Each winery has its own hours, so be sure to make your travel plans with your destinations in mind. The downloadable Georgia Wine Highway 2025 Map groups the participating wineries by region and indicates which days of the week each winery is open.
Keep a Clear Head
Each tasting provides at least a few sips of each wine, and if you don’t mind sharing your glass, you can share a Georgia Wine Highway passport with someone in your group. This will allow you to keep a clearer head — plus, you can always purchase a glass (or bottle) of wine after you find a new favorite!
What to Take to the Georgia Wine Highway
Georgia Wine Highway 2025
A little advance planning can help you get the most out of the Spring 2025 Wine Highway event. Consider these recommendations to have an amazing event!
Wine Highway Essentials
Of course, you’ll want to remember your Georgia Wine Highway Passport, but you’ll also want these essentials for your Georgia wine tours:
- Designated Driver: be sure to designate a sober driver or find other transportation for winery visits
- Government-issued photo ID: required as proof of Georgia’s minimum drinking age (must be 21+ years old)
- Maps: print or download destination maps before leaving home, as rural areas may have limited phone service
- Credit Card or Payment Apps: select wineries are moving to cashless operations
- Cash: a great way to tip servers and musicians for excellent service
- Hydration: purchase bottled water or fill refillable water bottles at home
- Nutrition: travel with snacks or purchase food at the wineries to ensure you don’t drink on an empty stomach (see which North Georgia vineyard wineries have a full restaurant on-site)
Wine Highway Extras
Finally, these items are useful for many scenarios, especially while visiting Georgia wineries!
- Wine Glass Markers: these versatile glass markers ensure you always know which glass is yours
- Sunglasses: reduce glare and protect eyes with sunglasses that include polarized lenses and UV protection
- Sunscreen: the scenic GA vineyards and days with beautiful weather inspire spending time outside in the sun
- Hands-Free Bags: crossbody bags for men or women help carry essentials while keeping hands free for a glass of wine
- Comfortable Shoes: choose footwear that is appropriate for gravel parking areas and grass pathways

Georgia Wine Trail 2025
How many of the 50+ Georgia wineries will you visit during the 2025 Georgia Wine Highway? What region of Georgia has your favorite wines?
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.
This is a great event to spend with friends so hopefully you’ll find a good group of travel buddies who want to go with you!
Ahhh it really escape me as I have already forgotten as is already very close.For me the Georgia mountains wine highway week is a must attend for me.I have been attend it for sometime and I swear it one of the best public function or gathering that I have enjoyed thanks allot for sharing this awesome article it would be of great help to the public as it has been of help to me.
Hi David, It is certainly a fun event and a great value. I hope you enjoy the selection of vineyards that are participating in the 2020 Wine Highway Week!
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.
DorcasW
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!!
