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.

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!

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

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

    • Alyce says:

      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!

    • Alyce says:

      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!

  2. Mazie Dixon says:

    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!

    • Alyce says:

      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!

  3. Debra S Hollingsworth says:

    Does anyone here know if the wine highway event is happening again for the month of March 2023?

    • Alyce says:

      Happy New Year, Debra! Just wanted to let you know that the Georgia Wine Highway will happen during the entire month of March 2023. Cheers!

  4. jobs says:

    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 .

    • Alyce says:

      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!

  5. Jerry McCoy says:

    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.

  6. Edwin Bernard says:

    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.

    Edwin

    • Alyce says:

      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! 

  7. chinthaka says:

    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.

    • Alyce says:

      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!

  8. Jenni Elliott says:

    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.

    • Alyce says:

      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!

  9. Sean says:

    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.

    • Alyce says:

      Hi Sean, the wine highway is a really nice way to get to know the great wines and wineries here in Georgia. Thanks for sharing!
