Planning Tips for Dahlonega Wine Tours

  • Weekdays and Sunday afternoons offer quieter tasting rooms and more time with winemakers.
  • Pair one large estate (Montaluce, Yonah Mountain) with boutique stops like Accent Cellars for variety.
  • Fall foliage season requires early booking—our drivers map detours for photo ops along Highway 19.
  • Bring a light jacket for terrace tastings; mountain breezes cool quickly after sunset.
