Wine Trip

Planning a wine trip Georgia Blue Ridge style blends scenic drives, handcrafted wines, and comfortable lodging. With North Georgia Wine Trips, every itinerary is private, door-to-door, and flexible—whether you stay in Ellijay cabins or Blairsville lodges.

The inspiration below helps you pick the ideal season and routing. When you're ready, we'll tailor logistics, reservations, and vehicle choices inside our curated Blue Ridge wine tours.

Spring (March–May)

Wildflowers bloom along the Blue Ridge Parkway and tasting rooms reintroduce crisp whites. It's the perfect season for waterfall detours paired with light flights at Grapes & Ladders.

Summer (June–August)

Expect lush vineyard canopies and evening concerts at Chateau Meichtry and Buckley Vineyards. We recommend early pickups to beat afternoon warmth and reserve shaded patios.

Harvest (September–October)

Foliage peaks and grape harvest festivals kick off across Ellijay and Blairsville. Book early for weekend slots and ask about VIP access to Otts or Engelheim events.

Cozy Season (November–February)

Cabin fireplaces and barrel-aged reds shine. This quieter window is ideal for extended tastings at Buckley Vineyard and Engelheim with minimal crowds.

Travel Logistics Checklist

  • Share pickup details—cabins, inns, or lake houses—so we can calculate travel time and quote mileage if needed.
  • Let us know about accessibility needs; we’ll pair the right vehicle type and winery stops.
  • Ask for professional lodging suggestions near downtown Blue Ridge, Ellijay, or Blairsville to stay close to tasting rooms.
  • Invite friends to extend the trip—eight or more guests automatically receive spacious transit or sprinter vans.
