Four Wineries in Dahlonega Definitely Worth a Visit

Dahlonega is without a doubt a top destination spot for those looking to sample some of the area’s finest wines. With that in mind, here are just a few Dahlonega wineries we think you’ll love.

Canvas and Cork

Canvas and Cork is located on the first floor of the historic Stanton Storehouse. This downtown gem features everything from stunning art displays to a hand-painted bar adorned with guest signatures. Oh, and a diverse selection of dry and sweet pink, red, and white wines. Head to the tasting room and sample five wines for $8, and stop by anytime to book a private wine and paint party, attend an art class or workshop, or enjoy the monthly Irish music jams.

Accent Cellars

Just two minutes outside of downtown Dahlonega sits Accent Cellars. This winery is open daily and caters to wine and cider connoisseurs. Browse the menu for a variety of rosé gold, red, and white wines, which can all be ordered by the glass or bottle. If you’re unsure of what to get, consider indulging your palate with some wine tasting.

For $14 you can sample five wines, including sparkling apple wine, sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, merlot, and cabernet sauvignon. You can also host an outdoor picnic with friends and family or enjoy a live music event. At Accent Cellars, there’s plenty to keep you entertained!

Kaya Vineyard and Winery

What once was Blackstock Vineyards has now transformed into a growing estate owned by Kaya Vineyard and Winery. With plans to add a hotel and restaurant, cottages, and 300-seat event facility to the property, Kaya Vineyard and Winery is set to become the biggest wine resort in the area. However, when you consider the breathtaking landscape views of north Georgia and rolling vistas on the horizon, you can already see why this destination is so popular. We think it’s the fine wine collection, though, that really stands out. It includes everything from chardonnay and merlot to cabernet sauvignon.

Wine tastings are available Tuesday through Sunday, and guided weekend tours offer guests the chance to learn about the estate’s history and winemaking process. You can also stop by for lunch or during a special event, plus join the Wine Club for monthly discounts, exclusive event invites, and wine updates.

Wolf Mountain Vineyards and Winery

No doubt the most decorated entry on this list is the 10,000-square-foot Wolf Mountain Vineyards and Winery. In fact, it’s won hundreds of wine-tasting competitions in the U.S. alone. It’s also architecturally stunning to look at with its fieldstone Craftsman-style cottage and tasting room with a four-sided cedar bar.

However, no visit is complete without sampling some of this winery’s most attractive wines. Take your pick from a list of dry white, rosé, and red wines, as well as sparkling and port wines. You can also take a tour of the grounds and enjoy a peaceful gourmet meal during your visit. If you’re interested, Wolf Mountain Vineyards and Winery is situated just five miles outside of Dahlonega.

Now that you know more about some of the area’s best wineries, which destination takes the top spot as your favorite?
