About Blue Ridge Wine Country

Blue Ridge is North Georgia's most complete mountain destination — a walkable downtown with independent restaurants, boutiques, and tasting rooms backed by mountain scenery that draws visitors from Atlanta year-round. The estate wineries here are genuine hillside producers working with Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Chardonnay at 1,700 feet.

The Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, Lake Blue Ridge, and Appalachian Trail access give wine tourists additional reasons to linger beyond the tasting rooms. For visitors who want to combine wine country with outdoor recreation, Blue Ridge offers the most natural pairing in North Georgia.
