Wow! What a beautiful property! Very peaceful and just a nice place to enjoy the breathtaking mountain views and a glass of wine!Also, this winery allows you to bring outside food for you to enjoy, which is pretty cool. People were here having picnics which is a cute idea.Highly recommend you go and visit!

So glad we stopped here!!! Best Muscadine wine I’ve ever had and the Holy Moses is another experience! Lauren was awesome and super helpful telling us all about the wines. Plus the vibes of just sipping a glass of wine with the view was fantastic.

My boyfriend and I went to 12 spies about half an hour before closing and shared a 15 dollar tasting, and we had a wonderful time! Donna was very helpful and lovely to talk to, the wines were great (we ended up bringing home a bottle of the Viognier 2021), and the view was outstanding. I'm so disappointed we came here on one of our last nights of visiting, because I would love to come back once there's live music!

a super cute place, the attention was spectacular, they have all the patience and were also open to all the questions you have, we visited from Florida and we were completely in love, 100% recommended, and good if you are like me! If you don't like dry wine, they have many more options and I got one from the Christmas season and I loved it… ohhhh by the way don't forget to visit the bathroom!! a super cute place, the attention was spectacular, they have all the patience and were also open to all the questions you have, we visited from Florida and we were completely in love, 100% recommended, and good if you are like me!

Great experience! Thank you for being opened when everything else is closed!! Beautiful place to sip on wine, play corn hole and a very welcoming experience with lauren who knows her stuff! Great open place to bring your dog, tons of seating outside or inside. (Coolest and very clean bathroom too) Happiest of holidays(: Will absolutely recommend to our friends!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Lauren was a delight, and the wine well matched the service. Reds, Whites, Dessert Wines, Seasonal tried them all. Very well done. Will return!

We've enjoyed wine at many vineyards across the US from PA to CA and highly recommend 12 Spies! This is our third trip to 12 Spies and it just keeps getting better. An excellent selection of both white and red, dry and sweet. The people are the most friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. A special shout out to Lauren for being so wonderful! And hugs to Mike. This place is pretty special. Wish we lived closer. We will be back!!!
Owners used to allow kids but do not anymore, and are a bit judgy. Mostly an older graying or "qtip" crowd as my friend says.

12 Spies Vinyards is one of the great treasures in Rabun Gap. They have amazing staff and the owners are very warm and welcoming. What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. By yourself or bring a group of friends, you can't go wrong coming here.My wife loves the mulled wine on a cool afternoon. Anytime we are back in the area we plan to stop by .

Visiting the Northern Georgia Region with my aunt and uncle. Stop as a quick respite from shopping and the visit to 12 Spies Vineyard wonderful. The combination of incredible wines, stunning scenery, and exceptional hospitality made for a truly memorable experience. If you're a wine lover or simply seeking a peaceful getaway (especially from holiday weekend traffic on highway 23), I highly recommend visiting 12 Spies Vineyard. You won't be disappointed!

Perhaps off season but....the changing fall colors were amazing and Donna, our hostess, was wonderful... friendly and knowledgeable. More importantly, the wines were delicious! We tried the Chardonnay which was delightfully crisp...the Pinot Noir, very good, the red blend that was quite tasty and Lynn's favorite, the cabernet sauvignon, Deliciously Smooth. I was curious about the Cabernet Franc which Donna called the 'Gentleman's' wine . Guess that's why I liked it...lol .Smoky and smooth. We'll definitely be returning for more! Thanks, Donna!

Super cute winery. Did a tasting for $15 and then had a glass outside while I listened to some live music. There was plenty of parking available. It was a perfect stop for a day in the mountains!
