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.

Hi and thanks for sharing this excellent resource. Many years ago on one of my first trips to the US I was with a group of colleagues on a trip to California. The organizers arranged an evening meal at a vineyard in the Napa Valley. It was a fabulous experience and a real eye-opener for me. For anyone who is on the fence about trying this sort of dining experience, I can only say, go for it. Your article is a real inspiration to plan a wine tasting tour of the region. Best regards, Andy.
Hi Andy, Thanks so much for sharing! Dining at a scenic mountain vineyard restaurant is definitely a great way to enjoy a meal!
I could definitely imagine myself getting lost in the Georgia mountains drinking hunners of wine. I’m currently on the other side of the pond in Scotland, so it’s a little bit too far for me at the present moment in time. But keeping this list handy for when i am able to visit. really looks like a lot of fun.
There are some great vineyard restaurants in North Georgia so I’m glad they are on your list of things to visit! Cheers!
Your website looks great and is also very informative. There are a lot of touristic places around the world. Your website suggests good places to visit in North Georgia where you can see the mountains too like these scenic vineyard restaurants. It is good for people to take a vacation once in a while and a meal at a vineyard restaurant is a great way to treat yourself well.
Hi Mohamed, I have had some fantastic meals at the North Georgia vineyard restaurants. Sunday Brunch at Wolf Mountain Vineyards is one of my all-time favorites!
These all look like beautiful places to visit. Your article makes me want to plan an anniversary trip. I love the scenery in these pictures, and a night of wine and dining sounds so romantic. Is there a restaurant in particular that you would recommend for a couple of romantics traveling to the area?
Hi Jessi, For stunning daytime views, the dining room at Wolf Mountain is most impressive. For a romantic dinner date, the experience at Montaluce should be perfect for a couple of romantics.
Thanks for a very informative and helpful blog. I have not yet been to North Georgia but I have started thinking about planning the trip. I will definitely do it when it is a little better time to travel. You have described the restaurants in great detail and the pictures are beautiful. I do not know how I will decide which one to visit.
Hello and thanks for sharing! Hopefully, the worldwide travel restrictions will be easing soon and allow for easier travel. Until then, it’s certainly fun to plan for future excursions!
Having a meal in the lovely setting of a wine farm, is something that I experienced in South Africa a few times. So it is great to know that it is also available in the Georgia Mountains. Awesome to know that wine pairing is also available, as it can greatly enhance your experience of the food. Can one do wine tasting before the meal and then choose a wine to enjoy with your meal?
Hello, what a wonderful idea to have a wine tasting before your meal! This would be possible at some of the restaurants, depending on whether the tasting room is open before the restaurant. If you can’t do a full tasting before your meal, you may be able to get a flight or a sample at your table to help you make your wine selections.
Bon appétit!
I have a Pinterest account and I couldn’t go by without pinning several of these. The scenary is wonderful. Thank you very much for these tips. When it comes to visit one of these vineyard restaurants, we should be prepared. I am currently spending some time in the North Georgia mountains and locals have been talking about these vineyards.
Hi Ann, Thanks so much for pinning your favorites!
Vacations are really great when you have the right places to actually spend the vacation at. North Georgia Mountains seems to be a great place to check out for while trying to get a place for vacation. It is said to have great restaurants . And of course, just like most restaurants, they do not allow outside food into the restaurant but they allow for a group picnic which I believe the time and space used at the restaurant would be paid for.
Hi Maureen, These restaurants do not allow for picnicking, but fortunately there are many other vineyards that do allow picnics!
Wow… Once again, I get to know more beautiful place in the Georgia Mountains. This is really great and inviting. The Georgia Mountains seems to be so rich with beautiful places to visit. These Vineyard Restaurants in the North Georgia Mountains look so cool and fun. I’d really love to have a meal at anyone of them, but I most like the sweeping views at Wolf Mountain.
Thanks Kelvin! The view at Wolf Mountain is spectacular!!
