All opinions are my own. Sometimes parents need a getaway too. Sometimes moms and dads just need to pack their bags and head out for a weekend sans kids. As much as I love traveling with my kids, there is something to be said for a solo trip with my husband or girlfriends. Lucky for me, I found out that the North Georgia Mountains house some stellar wineries and they are only a short drive from Atlanta!
All of them offer a tasting room where you can sample their best fare and figure which bottle or ten you are going to bring home with you. Before I tell about each of the wineries, let me first tell you about the easiest way to experience the vineyard fun! With someone else at the wheel, you can sample as much wine as you want, knowing that you will arrive safely back at your hotel when the tour is done.
Each winery was special for a different reason, they all had their unique style, blends, and vibe. Combine the laid-back vibe, live music weekends and BYOP bring your own pizza night with their sumptuous wine and you have a recipe for a great evening that puts Serenity Cellars high on my must go back list.
One of the most sophisticated wineries we visited, Yonah Mountain brings the Napa Valley wine experience to Georgia. With its sweeping views and exquisite wine collection, I instantly fell in love this winery. Yonah Mountain Winery is open for tasting 7 days a week without reservations. They have live music every Saturday and every September they host the annual Crush Fest, a local wine stomping festival that attracts thousands of visitors from all over the southeast.
Kaya Vineyards exudes simple elegance. Enjoy panoramic mountain views on the covered deck, live music on the weekends and of course delightful wines.
