Top Atlanta Wine Tasting Tours

If you don’t like wine or shopping, this may not be the trip for you. Otherwise, if you do, sit back and enjoy. For starters, our guide Darlene was great with communication. She checked in the day before our tour to confirm the arrangements. We were picked up at our hotel and Darlene patiently answered all of our questions about what to expect and Atlanta during the 2 hour ride up north. We visited two wineries, Serenity Cellars and The Cottages Vineyard and enjoyed the wine tasting at both. Micaela (phonetic) at Serenity was wonderful in explaining each wine before offering us our choices. The Cottages provided a list with written descriptions to choose from to create our own flight. Each winery offered 5 wine tastings. We were surprised that neither winery provided any cheese or crackers as part of the tastings but we were able to purchase some to enhance the experience. We happen to meet up with Martin, the tour owner, who was hosting another tour and appreciated him taking a moment to introduce himself and check on how our day was going. As avid shoppers of local artists and wares whenever we travel, the Bavarian town of Helen was a real treat. We didn’t have enough time to explore all of the shops in the main square or to sit down and enjoy some draft beer while listening to live music but thanks to Darlene’s willingness to be flexible on our return time, we were able to get in a little bit of both. On the ride back to Atlanta, Darlene graciously turned over her Bluetooth and allowed me to DJ the car music giving our day tour the perfect finale. If you have the time, this tour is certain to add fond memories to your Atlanta visit with lots of picture opportunities to memorialize them for family and friends.
