Dahlonega
Dahlonega is a viable option even if Georgia may not immediately come to mind when considering wine travel places. This town in the north is frequently referred to as the "Heart of Georgia Wine Country" since it has 12 wine tasting establishments, 5 wineries, and vineyards that are privately owned and managed. Arrive in May for your vacation to experience a lively environment at the annual Dahlonega Arts & Wine Festival. Keep some time aside to visit the Dahlonega Gold Museum State Historic Site and an old mine since it was also the site of America's first gold rush.
Dahlonega, a little community in northern Georgia at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is bursting at the seams with attractions. This charming town offers something for everyone, from first-rate wineries and vineyards with world-class wines, stunning natural settings with thundering waterfalls, babbling brooks, and craggy mountains, to a rich history going back to the finding of gold in the region in 1828. Dahlonega won't let you down whether your preference is perusing art galleries and museums, knee-deep in the river panning for gold, or sampling some of the best wines the area has to offer.
