Tips for Dining at Vineyard Restaurants

The restaurants located at the Georgia mountain vineyards are upscale establishments with serious chefs. Expect to be wowed with creations made from locally sourced ingredients designed to pair perfectly with their wines. Follow these tips to have a memorable meal in a beautiful vineyard setting!

 

Make a reservation

Where possible, make sure to get a reservation in advance to dine at these great Georgia mountain vineyard restaurants. Please note that seasonality may affect operating hours, so having a reservation will confirm that your destination will be open when you arrive.

 

Ask for wine pairing suggestions

Make the most of your visit to the restaurant by trying the recommended wine pairings with each course. These menus have been specially designed to bring out the flavors of both the food and the wine and are a culinary treat!

 

Know the law

Ask the restaurant to seal your unfinished bottles of wine for you to take home. Note that this isn’t a true “sealing” of the bottle, but rather a legally defined way to package the bottle so that you can legally transport the “open container” home in Georgia.

 

Designate a driver

Regardless of your choice, designate a driver to safely navigate the mountain roads on your way home (unless you also stay at the vineyard).

If you have any legal questions during or regarding your visit to the state of Georgia, call Corales Law at +1 (678) 961-3999.
