    I’m working on plans for a group (24-26) trip that would feature gardens in Georgia. I’d love to include a night in this wine area. Would you suggest staying in Dahlonega or another town? Are there any gardens I should look at to include? I figure we will move on to Athens and the Botanical Gardens there. Also, would you happen to know of any tour agent in Georgia who specializes in this type of tour, I’d love to talk to them. Thank you!

    What a delightful reminder of our last trip abroad when we went to Tuscany. I guess it never occurred to me that we might be able to have a similar experience here in the US. I am guessing though that since air travel has been difficult during the pandemic demand for these places must be through the roof. I was very inspired by the Treehouse and I see that the same company has other treehouses in Georgia for rent as well. I will never forget the experience when I visited the US for the second time when I was still living in Europe on a trip with a group of work colleagues. We were invited to dine with the owners of a vineyard in California. It was a delightful and unique experience. Best regards, Andy

      Hi Andy, you would probably love staying on-site at Montaluce Winery in Dahlonega. There are entire villas for rent (social distance is naturally built-in!) and the Montauce Restaurant Dahlonega GA offers reservations for their top-floor Tuscany Room that includes the best views at the mountain vineyard.

    Hello there! I have not really thought about visiting wineries before, but these Georgia winery hotels and cabins seem like a great place to relax and enjoy life. What better place than a location with nice scenery and away from the busy, stressful city life though! The images you provided look really nice and it doesn’t seem too expensive. Perhaps when this COVID-19 is calmed down a bit more, I may check these places out someday. Thanks for this!

    You had me at hot tub XD

    It’s also a lot cheaper then I imagined it would be. A winery is probably a great place to unwind, it sounds so peaceful. Wood burning fireplaces, mountain views, money off for returning guests. Does any body else hear ‘Writers Retreat’? These sound like some of the perfect places to finish that book.

      Hi Henderson, The weather will depend on the season. The Georgia mountains truly enjoy all 4 seasons and each provide a unique way to experience the area. The peak season for North Georgia is fall / autumn due to all the beautiful colors of the changing leaves in the Blue Ridge mountains.

What would be your best recommendation for a couple celebrating their 5 year anniversary? What are your reservation guidelines?

    Thanks so much

      Hi Justin, 

      September is a lovely time to visit the Georgia mountains. 

      The summer attractions in the area will start to close for the season after Labor Day weekend, so I’d recommend arriving early in the month if you want to explore seasonal activities (things on the water). The autumn / fall attractions will start to pick up towards the end of the month as the temperatures cool (corn mazes, scenic railway fall foliage rides, harvest festivals, and more!).

      Each vineyard lodging option will have it’s own individual policies regarding reservations, but I’d recommend making your reservation as soon as you can to get the best availability!

    Thank you for this great article! The weekend special Vine Keepers deal for $240 for the weekend sounds really good. All of the Villas also sound really nice. That’s cool that you get to stay in a whole entire house. That would be really nice since a change of scenery can be really helpful at times. 

    That’s nice that in the cabins, you can get one day for free when you stay for a full seven days. I really liked that treehouse in the bear claw Vineyards. The tree house would probably be my number one favorite choice. Thank you for your expertise on staying in places in Georgia, and I have a great day!

    My wife and I went on our honeymoon to Italy and those Montaluce Villas remind me so much of some of the houses we saw there. I never thought of Georgia as a winery destination before, but it really looks spectacular! I also really like the look of the Blue Ridge Treehouse. I have watched shows about the construction of treehouses and thought it would be fun to stay in one. This looks like the opportunity to do so!

      It’s great that there is such a variety of options when looking for a unique place to stay in the Georgia mountains. The Montaluce Villas are definitely a bit of luxury in the Dahlonega area, while the neat treehouse provides a more laid-back environment (Bear Claw Vineyards include firepits, cornhole games, and more). You can be sure of a memorable trip with either vineyard lodging choice!!

      It’s great that so many Georgia vineyards have facilities where you can stay and really enjoy the scenery and all that the vineyard and surrounding area has to offer. Winter is a lovely time to visit as it’s the least crowded time of year for a visit (which will allow for specialized attention for your group!).

    Planning ahead is always going to be the way forward, especially when it comes to having a family of six. For once I have a selection to choose from, which is excellent. In the past it has always been a struggle to find choices, there would only ever be one or two that could accomodate six.

    Paradise Hills looks like the favourite, with it being a Spa-site and, not that it’s a deal breaker for me, they allow pets. I had a look at the other venues and they’re all exceptional but I think this one tops it all with having the horse riding available. At a very low price of $89 per night I think anyone would be hard pushed to find a better deal.

    A short break in a beautiful location, throw in horse riding, spa, ‘pet friendly’ and a very reasonable price, ticks all the boxes for me.

    HI!

    Thank you for the walk down memory lane! I lived in Atlanta for five years, and some reason every 6 to 7 weeks was required to go to the Georgia Mountains. It looks fantastic but be very careful there are a lot of creepy and crawly in them their hills. The wine was extraordinary and worth the trip. 

    Thanks again and take care of yourself!

    Hi! I really like these Italian villages in Montaluce! They have an air as if one was in Tuscany. If I have to choose from these 4 villages, my personal preference is Villa Oliveti because we’re a big family group and we like to stay all together. Having  bedrooms makes it the perfect match! Thank you very much!

    I especially love the look of the cottage at the Crane Creek Vineyard. It looks absolutely beautiful and I love how a private pool and hot tub is included on the property. Are you aware if the $25 charge per extra people applies to children or is it only adult occupants? 

    Our family loves to go on nature walks. I know there are tours of the vineyards but are you aware if there are any type of nature trails in the Crane Creek area? Thanks so much!

    Vineyard wineries are something that really interest me. I had not heard of vineyard wineries in the Georgia Mountains before, so I was pleasantly surprised to find my way to your post here. For me, I think I would prefer either the Villa Della Luna, as it looks like a really enchanting building overlooking the mountains, or Odom Springs Vineyard, which has a large capacity and two fireplaces. Sitting in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine in the Georgia Mountains sounds like such a great trip. I’ll be referencing your post for when it’s soon time to plan it, thank you!

      I agree that these are some very special places to stay and enjoy a glass of local wine. The most luxurious accomodations are the Italian Villas at Montaluce, the newest are at Kaya Vineyard & Winery, while the others are more in line with what you might expect in a mountain cabin. You can’t go wrong with any of them!

      Hi, for more information about any of the vineyards, simply click on the name of the vineyard… these links go to pages with more full details about each vineyard. This way the current article is more focused on vineyard lodging details available, while still providing access to find more information about the vineyards with a convenient link. Hope this helps!

    We will be visiting Georgia next year for my God-daughter’s wedding. As we are coming all the way from the UK, we have of course decided to make the most of our trip by extending it to a three week family vacation. I have never visited this area before and I have very little knowledge of the geography or the culture so please excuse me that I didn’t know it was also a wine-making region.  I can’t tell you how exciting that is to me – I am really looking forward to sampling some of your local wines.  I am thinking now that a large cabin would be perfect for us as we are a large group and because we plan to stay in the area and explore for a week, I think I would much prefer this to a hotel.  

    I am going to send your website details to my sister and her family who are travelling with us as I think this will really appeal.  Can you also advise me please regarding the sorts of leisure and tourism opportunities in the area.  We will be travelling in September time so what sorts of interesting places and activities can you recommend in the area for that time of year?

      Wonderful news, as the area is such a perfect place for a gorgeous wedding. The wine harvest is probably just starting around that time… September is a great time of year to travel, as most things are still open and it’s slightly earier than the biggest crowds which arrive in October. 

      If you prefer to be in nature, there are many wonderful hikes, including the world renouned Appalachian Trail which starts in the area (don’t worry – you won’t have to hike the entire 2,000+ miles to Maine!). Rafting is also very nice, and you can choose something with an easy floating pace on the Chattahoochee or something more thrilling on the Chestatee. There are parks and caving opportunities as well. 

      There are also tons of quirky and unique activities as well… explore the site to find ways to drive a tank and crush a car, ziplining, aerial tours, panning for gold, and much more!

      Please reach out with any more specific questions — I’m happy to help you find ideas and plan an unforgettable trip!

      Warm Regards, Alyce

    I am very interested in so much here. My wife and I have been to the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina. She just recently mentioned a train ride from Bryson, NC with the Smokey Mountain Railroad and it would include a dinner with wine tasting. 

    The vineyards in Georgia sound intriguing and makes for what could be very relaxing evenings. I am not as familiar with the area, but the description of the area sounds like there is plenty to keep someone occupied for the daytime entertainment. I am always looking for a different place to go and vacation and this sounds like a new one for us to explore.

      Hi Bob, both TN and NC share a border with GA in the Georgia mountains. Just like those mountain areas, there are so many ways to spend your time! What you choose just depends on what types of activities you’d most like to try. 
      Staying at a vineyard is a unique way to immerse yourself in one of the area’s newest industries… and even among the vineyards, your experience can be as rustic as staying in a treehouse (Bear Claw Vineyards), a log cabin (Cavender Creek Vineyards), or an Italian-style villa (Montaluce).

      Hope you have a wonderful visit!

    I love this post, I used to work in a winery that offered a really nice accommodation as well and I know how great it is to spend couple of days surrounded with vineyards. Perfect place to unwind and recharge.

    My favorite on your list is probably Odom Springs vineyard lodge..I mean, all of them look great but if we’re in Georgia mountains then I prefer a lodge over a modern villa 🙂

    Thanks for providing this winery accommodations,

    This is great – I used to advise a cabin rental in Blairsville – a small town in the beautiful mountains. There are numerous smaller and larger towns that are very close in proximity so that you will have plenty of places to purchase food for your Georgia mountain cabin rental and enjoy various cuisines. The outdoor activities in the area abound, includin golfing, white water rafting, tubing, fishing, and horseback riding. Great way to spend a chill week!!

      Hi Fabio, 

      Staying at a cabin in the Georgia mountains is one of the BEST ways to relax. These locations are beautiful all year long and truly see a change in scenery with each new season. 

      Fall is the most popular time of year, as the sight of the colors of the leaves on the deciduous trees is spectacular! Be sure to book well in advance for stays during the fall – especially the peak weekends of October and early November. 

      Even though the scenery will make you feel like you are a world away from civilization, modern amenities are generally a short drive away. There are plenty of places to stock up on the essentials… and staying at the vineyards ensures that you won’t go thirsty. 😉

      Cheers!
