Top 10 Food & Drink in Georgia, Georgia
While Atlanta is the anchor and capital of Georgia, you can aim in any direction to find distinctly different regions – from the tail of the Appalachians in the North to the rolling Piedmont hills and on down to the seaside marshes in the East. Atlanta lays claim to the state’s number one attraction – Stone Mountain State Park. They say it best - “Serious fun. Endless adventure.” Just 15 minutes from downtown, the world’s largest exposed granite dome is surrounded by 3,200 acres of natural beauty and stimulating activities for every member of the family – sky rides and hiking paths, laser shows and pedal boats along Stone Mountain Lake. Golfers tee it up, while red foxes dash across the fairways in a state where the Masters Golf Tournament creates revered green-jacket memories every year. It’s a long downhill ride down to historic Savannah, a ‘stone’s throw’ from the Atlantic and a virtual step back in time to Southern architecture and stately squares. St. Simon’s and Jekyll Islands offer barrier island beauty and a wonderful combination of outdoor activities, historic sites and artistic culture. Originally the private winter playground of wealthy northeasterners, Jekyll Island stretches along 10 miles of coastal beaches and inland marshes. Cycling and walking paths wind under moss-laden oaks, and a tour of Millionaire Village takes you back to those Cornelius Vanderbilt and J.P. Morgan days. The kid-friendly Summer Waves Water Park adds man-made fun to natural water sport activities. Coastal golf courses and sophisticated St. Simon’s Island appeal to moms, dads and vacationing couples.

This is a beautiful Vineyard in N Georgia. We went for Friday night Aperitivo and what a wonderful surprise it was. We found many wines we enjoyed, the food was delicious, and the hosts were exceptional. Best of all was the atmosphere. There is plenty of space to enjoy, either relaxing in one of the many Adirondack chairs around the property of taking a walk through the vineyards admiring the different grapes being grown.

Grumpy Old Men Brewery is a microbrewery located in beautiful Blue Ridge, Georgia. We currently have 18 beers on tap so there’s always something new and different for the craft beer lover to try!

Our group stopped by on a very busy Saturday afternoon, but were able to quickly get our beers and find a table outside. And while we were all a little nervous when we saw how many of the beers were IPAs (none of us are fans), we all were able to find something we liked. In fact, two of us are now huge Choco Blanco fans, and took a bunch home with us!

This Vineyard is a little off the beaten path but it is worth the drive and I would recommend allowing a couple of hours for this delightful treat. The scenery is beautiful - the wine is delicious - and Marvin and Tom are great! We loved our time spent here - we felt right at home. The one thing I noticed after a day of touring wineries - all of the wineries that we stopped at during our trip - was serving Currahee Wine! Duh -- because it is so delicious. One of our Favorites!
5. Dalton Distillery

Our family has been making moonshine for over 80 years. To honor my Father after his retirement, I decided to open this distillery. We still use the same recipe used over 80 years ago. We are the only distillery in the state of Georgia that buys local, Georgia Grown products, and mills everything on site. We currently have 2 products in liquor stores, "Raymond's Reserve" Straight Corn Whiskey at 111 proof and "Raymond's Reserve" Cinnamon at 82 proof. Please ask for it at your local liquor store. Our products are able to be sold in Georgia, Texas, and New Jersey. Or, you can come to our location and try samples, purchase a tour and leave with a bottle of your choice as our gift to you. We are always experimenting with a variety of flavors. You never know what we will come up with next!

6. Moonrise Distillery
Overall Ratings

We’re doing things at Moonrise Distillery like they’ve been done since the early 1950s. While it seems like an old-fashioned, inefficient process, our use of tried and true methods and time consuming double-distillation removes impurities for a more refined sipping bourbon and rye whiskey. And unlike most distillers, we let our spirits tell us when they are ready - aging by taste and not by time. We also craft small batch vodka, artisan gin and brandy. Our mountain distillery setting is the perfect place to enjoy a souvenir tasting tour and then relax and enjoy our craft cocktails. Our venue features an 80 foot long covered front porch with view of Black Rock Mountain, an outdoor grotto and fire pit area. We also host live music at our music pavilion complete with turf lawn. We are open for tours Monday through Saturday except Wednesday from 11am to 5pm. We remain open for cocktails and relaxation until 8pm. Our Sunday hours are 12;30 to 8. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Georgia's only Rum Distillery. Handcrafting Single Estate Old Georgia Rum from estate grown unrefined sugar cane. Located in historic downtown Brunswick, GA, on the Atlantic Coast Open for Tours & Tastings. Retail store and Giftshop on site.
Reviewed By N1653SEclaireh - Brunswick, United States
We had friends visiting from out of state and we were looking for something to do. I happened to see a flyer in a store on Newcastle and thought it would be fun to try. It was fascinating- they grow their own sugar cane and do everything in-house. With a distillery in Richland and one in Brunswick, the tour educates you about the process and provides a 5-rum tasting experience. Unfortunately for my wallet, I learned that I really don’t like cheap rum but the Georgia select was nice and buttery. Theo gave us a nice educational tour and was very knowledgeable. He clearly respects the process and showed us the science and the art of distillery. My only suggestion to them would be to have souvenir-sized samples for sale. I would have bought gifts if they would have had them. It was fun doing such a great tourist activity in my own backyard!

The beer was tasty and the atmosphere was nice and family-friendly! My kids, husband, and I enjoyed a Sunday afternoon at Pretoria Fields today. I was very impressed. It was busy, but not overcrowded. The Tift Park Community Market had a wonderful pop-up market set up in the outdoor seating area. This is a monthly event for the brewery, every second Sunday - I will be returning! They also had a Yoga event going on as well. Such a well-rounded community experience!

We stumbled upon this & stopped in for a drink & were happy to find an extensive variety of drafts & sparkling water for those of us that don’t like beer. Georgia sadly does not allow breweries to serve other alcohol like most states:( A window to order food from Smokejack BBQ was a nice option. Good TVs for football. Tip: Parking garage across the way in the shops or a fair amount of shopfront or street parking available!
