Wineries near Rabun Gap

“We really enjoyed this peaceful vineyard. 21+ only which is awesome! You could choose between air conditioned indoor seating or covered outdoor seating. Our hostess, Donna, was very friendly and attentive. We really liked several of the wines in our tasting and went home with a bottle of the dessert wine. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!“

“A group of friends and I took a drive to Tiger, Georgia, to visit a few wineries, and Stonewall Creek Winery was our first stop and wow, what a beautiful place! The staff were so friendly and helpful, and we even got to meet the owner. They have some fantastic wines, plus delicious homemade jams and brownies infused with wine. We all really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back soon!“

“What do you do when the hurricane turns right, instead of left on your wedding weekend? Answer: you have the wedding of your dreams if you are at the Vineyard at High Holly. Paulina and Joel worked 18 months on their dream September 28, 2024 wedding. Forecasters expected Hurricane Helene to make landfall and turn west so guests arrived early to avoid travel delays. Then Helene turned east and sat over western North Carolina. The road to Highlands washed out, many trees fell, and there was no power, water, cell service, internet or WIFI at High Holly. The rental vendor cancelled, and we had no idea if the cake, DJ, or photographers would appear. Fortunately, the wedding planner had arrived, but her assistants were stranded in Asheville along with the hair and makeup people. Lesley went into full problem-solving mode and found a way to overcome all obstacles including to provide everything expected from the rental company. Eric went through 8 chain saws clearing downed trees. Michelle strapped on a headlamp and started cooking in the dark. Everyone dug in and made sure that the wedding was everything that the bride and groom dreamt of. I cannot imagine a more dedicated, hard-working and compassionate group! And the wedding…the most magical, fun and beautiful wedding I’ve ever been to! Weddings take much planning, hard work and come with great heartfelt expectations. Many times, hiccups arise. When choosing the wedding venue, anticipate how the venue will handle the surprises. The Vineyard at High Holly proved that they didn’t let a devastating hurricane come in the way of fulfilling Paulina and Joel’s dream wedding. We are forever grateful to Lesley, Eric, Michelle and the High Holly family!! (Apologies that it took me a year to write this). Kay“
