Wineries near Hiawassee

“We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Hightower Creek Vineyards. The owner of the Vineyard (Fred) sat with us for quite a while and was so friendly and hospitable. Fred told us all about the history of the vineyard and gave us a little tour of the place. He’s a very nice man and you can tell he truly wants his guests to enjoy their time their. We loved the Chatuga Red wine. We enjoyed it at the vineyard and bought a couple bottles to take with us. We were at the vineyard on a Saturday and they happened to have some very nice live entertainment 2-5pm. They have a great covered deck overlooking the grounds with comfortable seating and tables. We brought our dog and he thoroughly enjoyed as well. An afternoon we’ll spent!“

“Without question, one of the better wineries we've been to in Georgia.Excellent views coupled with a great atmosphere and good wines.The views were excellent! There is a beautiful piece of property with two lakes down below past with grapes growing in the vineyard. The staff inside was excellent!!! So kind and so helpful.They have a sleeping of white and red styles to choose from and offer flights, glasses, and bottles. I wasn't smart and didn't flip the wine list over to discover the reds. Just meant I needed a second flight ??‍♂️?They had great cheeses, crackers, meats, and other snacks to make you experience perfect.There is a parking lot up top but on a busy day you may have to get creative. There are a few places you could park on the exit path so if the lot is full head down and find a spot to park.The drive from the road to the winery is relatively short but all gravel. Motorcycles won't fair well on that so get a lift to the top or take a little walk up there.“
