The details you’ve provided, from the wineries’ history to their specialities, add a personal touch that makes the prospect of these tours all the more enticing.
Hello, Tony! The wineries of North GA get more popular by the day, and visiting a few on a GA wine tour is a great way to see them safely with your friends. Enjoy!
This is a very informative article, like an all-you-need-to-know guide about tour choices. I have heard that Georgia is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world. My wife and I love to travel, but she especially loves the countryside views. I know Georgia is definitely full of natural views where the grapes are grown. What is your suggestion for a getaway that is full of great viewpoints? We love to take pictures with nature and enjoy the countryside life.
Hello! Believe it or not, most of these areas of North Georgia (USA) are relatively newer producers of wine. Many of the wineries are less than ten years old, and almost all are less than 20 years old. There are plenty of wines with an “old world” taste, though, so it’s easy to understand how the area’s wine history might seem longer than it is!
There are lots of fantastic wineries in North GA, which makes it hard to choose a favorite getaway, but easy to find a bunch of great options! For viewpoints of long-range mountain views, consider visiting any of these destinations on a North Georgia Wine Tour: Terra Incognita, Kaya, Wolf Mountain, Living Water Winery, Ott Farms Winery, Creekstone Winery, Crane Creek Winery, and Fainting Goat.
Alright, alright, alright! I stumbled upon this article about wine tours in North Georgia, and I gotta say, I’m impressed. I never knew that Georgia was producing wines, let alone that they have a whole tour dedicated to it.
First things first, let’s talk about the article itself. Kudos to the author for providing such a detailed guide to wine tours in North Georgia. From the various vineyards and wineries to the different types of tours available, this guide has got it all. It’s clear that the author has done their research and is passionate about wine tours in North Georgia.
As someone who’s never been on a wine tour before, this article really opened my eyes to what I’m missing out on. I mean, who wouldn’t want to spend a day (or two) drinking delicious wine while taking in the stunning scenery of the North Georgia mountains? Sign me up!
But all joking aside, I really do appreciate the author taking the time to write this article. They’ve provided a valuable resource for anyone looking to plan a wine tour in North Georgia. And for those of you who have been on a wine tour before, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the experience. Was it worth it? What was your favorite part?
Overall, I’m really impressed with this article and the information provided. It’s clear that the author has a love for wine and for North Georgia, and they’ve done a great job of sharing that love with their readers. So, thank you to the author for this informative and enjoyable read. I’m definitely adding a wine tour in North Georgia to my bucket list!
Vineyards have already fascinated me since I was asked to work on a project on wine when I was child. Research on vineyards led me to know such beautiful vineyards in Georgia. And your article comes to me at the right time to know about the vineyard tour further.
A private tour of Ellijay Wineries including wind tasting is so much fun I could imagine.
I am definitely going to make it this time!
Thanks for sharing such a comprehensive information.

My partner and I spent the day with A Grape View Tours and it was a truly magical experience. Our guide was just an all-around great person to spend time with and really knew the area inside and out. The van was clean and comfortable, the scenery was out of this world, and every destination was a treasure. One of our stops was Roo winery (named after a ROOster :D), which I understand had recently opened and was beautiful inside and out. We also stopped at a dairy farm for ice cream and a roadside farmers market. One of my favorite stops was a gentle hike to a waterfall - stunning!! This was not our first wine tour but I have to say it was one of the nicest. It just felt so personal, like we were visiting an old friend who was treating us to all the local flavors and colors. Highly recommended!
Katlin K., GA
We had an absolute blast celebrating my sister this weekend! Huge thank you to @a_grape_view_tours 🎉 thank you for helping make her bachelorette such an amazing and special time! I cannot recommend them enough! Patrick and Cliff are the absolute best! Please, if you are interested in booking a wine tour they are hands down the best around. They have so many options for different wineries and could not have been more accommodating
If you are seeking a fabulous wine tour, look no further - I wish we could give A Grape View ten stars! Cliff & Patrick were so wonderful. Our group of five really enjoyed seeing the best of Ellijay on this tour.

lovers of good wine
We are a husband and wife team, lovers of good wine, enjoy entertaining, and ran Wine Tasting Tours in California for 11 years. After moving to Georgia one item on our ‘East Coast To-Do List’ was to seek out local wineries. And lo and behold . . . we found several wineries in a beautiful countryside setting with stunning views, a good varietal of wines and of course, ‘Southern Charm’ in North Georgia. And all of this is only a little over an hour from the Metropolitan Atlanta area!
Our first experience was the annual ‘Georgia Wine Highway’ that provided a ‘peek’ into the many wineries in the area. So, for the next year we did our homework touring the wineries, meeting the wonderful owners (and enjoying wine tasting along the way), and decided to share this wonderful experience with others. From there ‘Pop the Cork Wine Tours’ was born! We are here to bring a ‘new vibe’ with our wine tasting tours!

However, I highly recommend booking with this company for a safe day at the Dahlonega wineries! Samantha

Best companies offering wine tours in Georgia
While dozens of companies offer wine tours in Georgia, I’d like to emphasize two companies I highly recommend and support. Both companies focus primarily on wine and offer more customized tours with fewer people, adding a personalized touch to their tours compared to the companies that organize big group tours. They also concentrate on and support smaller enterprises than big ones, bringing tourists to family wineries or marani in the Georgian language.
That said, this post of the best wine tours in Georgia includes more affordable tours below.
ADVICE : always travel with comprehensive travel insurance that also covers COVID. I personally use SafetyWing .
Trails and Wines
Trails and Wines offer customized, private tours that take you to unique Georgian wines and dishes. The company was founded by a Ukrainian-Georgian couple – Daria is a wine expert and a co-author of a wine guide to Georgia , and Zviad is a hiking enthusiast.
Trails and Wines pride itself on its personalized approach to wine tourism. They believe a private tour allows visitors to experience Georgia’s wine culture more authentically and intimately. With a knowledgeable and passionate guide by your side, you can gain a deeper understanding of Georgian wine traditions, taste unique and delicious wines, and make unforgettable memories.

Best wine tours in Georgia for you to join
While there are plenty of options to choose wine tours in Georgia based on regions, Kakheti is still the most popular destination for foreigners due to its proximity to Tbilisi.
During the Soviet era, the Georgian wine industry underwent significant changes. In the 1930s, the Soviet government centralized wine production in Georgia, designating Kakheti as the primary winemaking region and discouraging the production of wine in other parts of the country.
Since it is still the country’s largest wine-producing region, many companies offer tours to Kakheti. However, if you have more time to spend in Georgia, the two companies I mentioned in the above section do offer regional wine tours in Georgia.
This section focuses on private and authentic tours offered by Trails and Wines and Eat This! Tours companies. See the next section below if you are looking for other options.

Georgia Wine Tours
Qvevri – ancient wine, modern twist.
Our Georgia wine tours focus on many of the great wineries near the Kakheti wine region towns of Telavi, Kvareli, and Signagi and we highly recommend staying one, two or three nights away from Tbilisi giving you quality time to relax and taste.
- Visit wineries that employ traditional Qvevri and modern methods.
- Experience unique Qvevri wine and learn all about it
- Tour with owners and winemakers
- Taste many wines that will be new to you
- Stay at lovely vineyard and winery hotels
- Georgian cuisine is superb – Plenty of chances to enjoy it
- Visits to historic, beautiful churches and monuments
Remember: Everything we do is private and customizable – just let us know if there is something you wish to add or remove from our Kakheti wine tours.
So Many Wineries – Qvevri & Steel, Old & New.
There are so many options they are impossible to talk about at length here, but below we cover an outline example program for one or two nights away from Tbilisi just to show you what is possible:
Our Kakheti wine tours start by heading out of Tbilisi for around two hours or so until we reach the heart of Kakheti. Our first visit will be Shumi winery which is a well oiled, visitor-friendly setup and the perfect introduction to quality Qvevri wine. A tour of the factory will be made, followed by a tasting.
After our time at Shumi we will head further into the countryside for 30 minutes or so to visit the boutique Qvevri winery, Chubini . We will be having lunch here with the owners Tornike and Lika. This newly married couple is a delight to spend time with and they will proudly show you what they do, and we will try their wines during lunch relaxing in the garden.
You probably will not want to leave Chubini, but we have to as there is more to see and taste. We will drive 15 minutes more to the historic Chateau Eniseli winery which will also be our home for the night. This place is fascinating and exudes historical importance and Soviet influence. The story behind this winery is too long to recount here, suffice to say you will find it very interesting during a tour of this very unusual facility.
You will enjoy a tasting of Eniseli wines, brandy, and chacha and be free to relax for the evening in this very tranquil place.
Facebook album of several trips to Kakheti
Telavi & Signagi on our Georgia wine tours
For our two night Georgia wine tours we would have you stay in the Telavi area first night, then in Signagi for the second. Several wineries around Signagi will be added into the schedule according to your tastes, white, red, semi-sweet, Qvevri, oaked…the area has them all.
Before we get to Signagi for the night there is much to do, see and taste.
After breakfast, we will visit the spectacular Gremi Fortress and enjoy a quick look at the museum inside the structure. The video below should give you the idea, lovely place indeed.
After visiting Gremi we will head 15 minutes to the Shilda winery. This is a total contrast to what you have at Eniseli, this winery was built in 2015.
We will have a look at the production area where modern stainless steel is being used to produce great quality wine from Kakheti grapes. The company does also use Qvevri for some of its wines and we will taste both styles.
While we are here at Shilda we will learn about, and try, making traditional Georgian Shoti bread in the ubiquitous circular ovens, plus Georgian Khinkali dumplings and also Churchkhela sweets. This is a great hands-on experience and a lot of fun.
Leaving Shilda, we have a number of variations on Georgia wine tours en-route to Signagi if you are enjoying a two-night package. A one night package will mean we visit one more winery in Telavi before heading back to Tbilisi, this will one of many but a great option is Schuchmann Winery .
Schuchmann is also a great option for an overnight stay, this will all depend on the route you choose and your budget. In any case, we will visit the winery, enjoy a tasting and the superb views that the place affords.
If you have a three-day trip then we will head through some classic terroir such as Tsinandale and Mukuzani on our way to the winery which will also be our lunch spot today, Numisi Cellar and museum.
This is a very quirky place, and while the wine may be the standard of Shumi or Shilda, the experience is an interesting one. If the owner is around then we can meet him and hear, through the guide, a little about the place. We will enjoy a tour of the Qvevri cellar and the many museum pieces that are on show, then have a tasting during a lunch of traditional Georgian BBQ.
After this visit, you will be ready to head to your hotel, so we drive up the hill to the lovely town of Signagi, check you in and leave you free till after breakfast in the morning.
Keep going – Keep tasting!
The Pheasant´s Tears winery has a lovely tasting room in this quaint hill-top town, and we will have a tour and tasting here after giving you time to wander a little in the town after breakfast.
Click here for a great article on Georgian wine
We will then leave Signagi and drive 45 minutes or so to reach the small village of Badiauri. Here we will visit one of the traditional bakeries producing bread the way you have seen so far.
After the bakeries, we will head to the tiny rural village of Kakabeti to visit the fantastic Vellino boutique winery. The Qvevri wines here are superb quality and delicious. We will enjoy being educated on the local terroir by the young owner and then have a premium tasting.
After Vellino there may be one more winery visit in the Khashmi area before heading back to Tbilisi, but this will depend on how we are going for time.
Being a private tour it gives us the chance to adapt to local opportunities and for your guide to suggest a place en route. We will go with the flow (of wine)!
Why not extend your time and try our amazing Birthplace of Wine tour triangle, taking in some of the best wine regions of the Caucasus.

Wine Tour in Georgia
Wine is the most diverse product in the world. Many types of wine can be tasted in different countries, but if we go deeper into the beginning of this noble liquid, we will definitely come to Georgia. It is scientifically proven that Georgia is the homeland of wine with eight thousand years of wine history and about five hundred local vine varieties. Viticulture is a fundamental basis for the unity and identity of the Georgian nation. The Georgian word “wine” is the basis of the name of this drink in different languages. In Georgia, the vine is a symbol of life and fertility, its sacral significance can be seen on the facades of ancient temples.
The ancient tradition of putting wine in a clay pot determines the uniqueness of Georgian wine. Wine fermentation in clay pots is the world’s oldest cultural achievement. That is why the Georgian traditional method of making wine was awarded the status of a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Monument in 2013.
In different parts of the world, famous for wine, we will visit the ancient cellars decorated with various winery inventory and taste the unique, natural wines. A heartfelt attitude and history is felt in each cellar.
