Roo Mountain Vineyards, Ellijay

Arrive during spring or summer to be enchanted by butterflies and sparkling rose, but the rest of the year, prepare to be impressed by an eco-friendly kegged wine system that not only keeps the wine fresh longer, sealed off from oxygen, but per keg, keeps 26 glass bottles, corks, and labels from entering local landfills.

It’s from these that you can taste the yield of their 12,000-square-foot winery, which also boasts a barrel room, rooftop garden tasting bar, and soon, a main tasting room and outdoor amphitheater for future live events. And overall, this young, new space is where you’ll want to bring young, new drinkers, too, as hard ciders are available for those who prefer that over wine. However, bear in mind 21 is as young as guests can be for this adults-only spot.

Leave outside food home with the kids, too–The Nest on the roof serves a robust menu featuring local products (sandwiches made with salt sourdough focaccia from High Mountain, dishes featuring local and famous Ellijay mushrooms) and a food truck schedule is posted to Instagram (only) periodically.

Tasting available 12 PM - 5:30 PM Wednesdays and Thursdays, 12 PM - 7:30 PM Fridays and Saturdays, and 12:30 PM - 5:30 PM Sundays.

Discover the best vineyards in North Georgia. Explore the best wine destinations, taste award-winning wines, and plan your visit with our recommendations.
