Hi there,
What a beautiful place. After the Covid, we are craving for travel. This is definitely a place I put first on my bucket list.
All the great activities to do there, it’s wonderful. Are there activities for very young children too?
I love wine, and I am also very interested in learning how to make wine. Do you think it’s possible to learn there?
Thank you for this excellent post!
Hi Daniella, The wine industry in North Georgia is a relatively new phenomenon, so many of the winemakers you’ll meet in the area have also recently learned how to make wine. I’ve found them all to be open to sharing their stories and offering pointers to other enthusiasts.
Hey Alyce,
I love how this place has a fire pit in the back the the fact that you are doing wine tasting in a beautiful big cabin. It seem to be very homey which I really like. Is this somewhere you’ve visited before? I’m wondering how it compares to the other places on your site and if you personally have a reference of your own.
