    Is Tiger Mountain Vineyards on the list for 2023? I see it on the map, but not on the list on their website.

      Hi Whitney, Tiger Mountain Vineyards has not participated in the Ga Wine Highway in the past few years, but I’m not yet sure whether they will be a part of the 2023 event. I do not think that the website map or list is finalized yet. Hopefully, the details will be available soon!

      Hi again! I just wanted to share a quick follow-up now that the list of wineries is finalized. Tiger Mountain Vineyards is not participating in the 2023 Ga Wine Highway, but you are welcome to visit them any time during their regular hours. Cheers!

    Thanks for the 2023 wine highway update! I’m excited to learn that the annual Georgia wine highway will happen again in March this year. You have provided a wealth of helpful information on the Georgia Wine Highway over the past few years and I’ll be following you again for this year’s updates as well. Cheers!

      Cheers, Mazie! Georgia’s wine highway event is definitely one of the most anticipated events of the year. It’s so fun to visit the wineries, and I’m always impressed with the great wines that are produced so close to home!

    I am from Spain and had always used Spanish wine but not in my dreams had it crossed to think of wine coming from Georgia and an interesting context like Georgia wine highway. Is the participation restricted or open to all including people outside the US? Thanks for the article .

      Hello! Most of the vineyards in Georgia are fairly new (less than 20 years old), with only a few exceptions. For that reason, it’s understandable that many people aren’t yet aware of the great wines produced locally! 

      The GA Wine Hwy gives everyone (ages 21+) the opportunity to visit the 40 participating Georgia wineries and sample the wines for the one-time cost of $75. It’s a great deal and always the perfect excuse to travel around the scenic parts of the state!! Enjoy!

    I am glad to see the wineries of North Georgia have found an alternative to their previous scheduling. This 30 day event should be more exciting for all who participate. This gives visitors a longer date to enjoy the vineyards and will also allow people to enjoy the spring conditions in Georgia. It will certainly make for a great time if some of the visitors decide to take advantage of some of the campsites available.

    You’ve provided a wealth of information about the Georgia Wine Industry via this Passport Program. I never thought about Georgia having a wine industry before. Thanks for sharing this information. 

    I imagine there are many more States that have a Wine Industry, besides the well-known California one.

    How will the deep cold weather now affect the wine harvest later in the year? Hopefully not much. 

    Cheers.

      Hi Edwin, The weather is carefully watched and the vines are protected from extreme temperatures as much as possible. Georgia has many fantastic wines and the annual wine highway offers an affordable way to sample some of the best!

    I loved reading this article a lot. I really like this concept. As a person from another part of the world, your article was really eye-catching for me. So my question is a simple one. Is there any possibility for me to have a little experience with wine through online purchasing, I hope it will be a nice experience for me.

    thanks for sharing.

      Hello, wines can be shipped from Georgia to many places around the world, so hopefully, you live in an area where this will be available to you. Cheers!

    I loved reading about the annual Georgia Wine Highway Event and am extremely sad that I will not be able to go in 2022. I’m directing a play for our local community theater and will be in the midst of rehearsals in March. I am a wine lover and like nothing more that to cruise around good wineries tasting their wares. I will try to avoid any theater activities in 2023 so that maybe we can go to the next event.

      Hi Jenni, the GA wine highway is a great way to sample wines from lots of Georgia’s wineries, but even if you can’t make it during March for the wine highway event, the wineries stay open all year! 

      Best of luck to you with the theater production!

    I found this post to be very informative, very well laid out, and easy to navigate. I like that it offers the price per passport for the event. The downloadable maps are nice as well. I have a couple of friends that like wine and traveling, I’m going to pass this on to them. My partner likes wine and travel too. We may have to make plans for 2023. I’m glad I ran across this.
