We were staying at a nearby cabin when the kids noticed this rescue when we drove by and begged us to take them. Honestly, we weren’t expecting much but then we read the positive reviews which piqued our curiosity. Every positive review is absolutely accurate!! We had a gloriously wonderful time and the kids (ages 13&11 and animal lovers)didn’t want to leave. The owner, Ms Susanne, is such a lovely, kind person and everyone that works there is just as nice. Wish we could come visit and volunteer here everyday!! If we are ever back to this area, we will definitely come back and visit this sanctuary!!

Our guests primarily visit the tasting room where they can enjoy our award-winning wine with a tasting, by the glass, or by the bottle. Tastings are only $10 and include up to 5 wines of your selection from our menu that currently has 15 selections. Once you've selected your wine at the bar, you can relax in our large seating area inside OR outside on the deck or below at picnic tables. Our deck is enclosed during the winter hours for your comfort. We have live music every Saturday/Sunday afternoon with local artists in a variety of styles (Americana, country, folk, etc). Meat & Cheese plates, Cheese plates, and local Smoked Trout Dip w/crackers are available should you wish to stay and enjoy your wine. We look forward to your visit to "experience a taste of Heaven".

Ott Farms and Vineyard

Reviewed By midwesternmatthew - Atlanta, United States

My partner and I have been living in Atlanta for two years now and love going to visit vineyards in North Georgia. We find it an easy way to get out but still keep safe and socially distant from others (usually). Ott Farms is exactly the type of winery we love to go to! It has a big indoor space—which was completely empty except for the person serving wine at the bar. There was ample room on the outside for everyone there that day to be safe and distant. It overlooks the vineyard, which wasn't in season but still very pretty. And in the distance is a view of the mountains which was really nice. There are circles of adirondack chairs for people to sit in as well as picnic tables and a pagoda where they host live music on the weekends. There is also food available but mostly appetizers and dips. We ordered pimento cheese which was delicious but there are a few options to choose from if you get hungry while sharing a bottle of wine. We ordered a darker, dry wine but I'll say the wine was amazing, but there weren't a lot of options. But the options they do have are very good. I'm sure that any type of wine drinker would be satisfied with whatever they order. The staff was very friendly and there were some German Shepherds living nearby that were keeping everyone entertained as they ran through the vineyard—but never came up to us or disturbed anyone. They kept their distance. Finding the winery was easy and it was signed well. There was plenty of parking for people there. I highly recommend this place if you're in the Blue Ridge, GA area looking for something fun to do on a beautiful afternoon. We will definitely be back at some point.

Cartecay Vineyards

Reviewed By TXMARTINS - Atlanta, United States

The barn is small but the property is vast and beautiful! The parking can fill up fast so get there early to grab a great table outside & make a spot to be front & center for live music on Sunday afternoons! Very kinda staff, pretty good wines & fun swirled wine slushies.
