of White County

We invite you to experience the beauty of our vineyards and taste the quality of our wines as North Georgia emerges into a prominent wine growing region.

		BlackStock Vineyards & Winery
	BlackStock Vineyards, the first and largest of the current vineyards in the Dahlonega area, was founded by formally-trained winemaker David Harris, a 20-year pioneer in Georgia wine. After a decade dedicated to evolving a vineyard, Mr. Harris now offers an estate winery for your pleasure. Enjoy spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the panorama of lush vineyards, while experiencing some of the best wines in the Southeast. We cater to the serious wine enthusiast, promising an educational experience for those with a passion to learn more about wine, and are particularly family friendly with an array of diversions for young children. The winery specializes in private events from formal weddings of up to 200, to informal luncheons on our vineyard deck. We offer deli selections daily, with fresh baked goods and live music often featured on weekends. All BlackStock wines are currently made exclusively from estate grown grapes produced on the winery property. The Harris family believes very strongly that wine is made in the vineyard, and our wines represent specific field selections grown to fulfill their particular niche and style. While the cellar practices are meticulous and detail-oriented, the emphasis is on gentle handling and minimal intervention. The real differences are derived from how the wine grapes are cultivated in the field. HOURS: Open Daily 10-6, Sun 12:30-6 Visit www.bsvw.com for more information.

		Habersham Winery
	Producing Georgia wines since 1983, Habersham Vineyards & Winery is one of Georgia's largest and oldest wineries with production exceeding 15,000 cases annually. Located just one half mile from Alpine Helen in Nacoochee Village, the winery features daily tastings, a large gift shop with a great selection of unique wine specialty items and gourmet food products. The production area including the tank room, bottling line and barrel room may be viewed from the tasting room. We utilize our best grapes and oak barrels to produce our premium, vintage dated, varietal Creekstone wines. Our popular Habersham label includes varietal vinefera wines as well as blended wines using both vinefera and French-American grapes. Our Southern Harvest wines utilize the native muscadine grape as well as fruit flavors and are nostalgic for many Southerners. Most of the grapes used in our wines are from two company owned vineyards, Mossy Creek and Stonepile, which yield around 150 tons annually. Varieties grown include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Riesling, Seyval, Vidal and Chambourcin. We also purchase other varietals such as Sangiovese and Viognier from nearby Blackstock Vineyards and produce Muscadine wines from grapes grown in South Georgia. The winery is open seven days a week for tasting and sales. Visit www.habershamwinery.com for more information.
