My husband and I stumbled on to Accent Cellars while vacationing in Helen, Georgia. Tyler was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He answered all of our questions and we spent two and a half hours chatting about wine and music during a rainy afternoon. I would highly recommend this lovely winery. Tyler and the winery were delightful. Thanks, Tyler!

We missed the brunch buffet due to coronvirus restrictions but the pizza and salmon salad were perfect! They found out it was our 5th anniversary and our server, Alana, and the manager were sure to bring us out a complimentary cheesecake platter with chocolate strawberries. We got to sit on the enclosed patio and look out at the beauty of the NW GA mountains.

Cavender Creek Vineyards and Winery

“We capture what the true spirit of a north Georgia winery should feel like.” Here at Cavender Creek Vineyards & Winery, we have a simple mission, to create good wines and make good friends. We are a small winery dedicated to hand-crafted wines made on-site. We are members of a close knit community that enjoys having fun, learning about wine and most importantly drinking it! Claire Livingston is a the proud owner of Cavender Creek Vineyards and Winery and those were her goals from the beginning. The winery is rustic, honest and welcoming. Cavender Creek is not a Napa Valley look alike. Everyone and everything is shown appreciation and attention at Cavender Creek Winery. We can focus on details because we are a small winery. Cavender Creek doesn’t just have a tasting room, it has a center for community and good wine. We invite you to relax with us, drink wine with us, celebrate, spend a weekend, and take things a little slower pace.

Cavender Creek is an amazing experience not just their wine, but also the grounds and the staff! We drove up from ATL to spend an afternoon on a Saturday and it was packed with visitors as well as a wedding so you may want to try a weekday if possible. The place is huge as it is an actual working farm complete with vineyards, donkeys and alpacas. There are several buildings as well as a huge outdoor field where people brought blankets to sit too. We managed to find a few stools on the patio and ordered a couple of tasting flights. Even through they were so busy the gentlemen did a great job finding us and walking us through several of their wines. I especially liked the Viognier and the Donkey Hotie (great name) and would recommend trying them. The patio was lively and there was some live music too which added to the atmosphere. They do serve some food as well, but if you just want a snack they also make amazing popcorn! Of all the wineries in the area this is one of my favorites and the staff does a great job – well worth the trip, we’ll be back.

My fiancé and I loved our visit to your winery! The gentleman that help us with our tasting was very knowledgeable and kind which made it that much more enjoyable. There was a good variety of wines for those that like sweets as well as dry reds all of which we truly enjoyed. The winery was very clean and well organized with a sign in sheet for the tasting and staff were all extremely friendly making it a comfortable and relaxing experience. If you're a wino visiting Helen I definitely recommend stopping in!

Shamefully I have to say that I have quite literally spent hundreds of dollars and hours at Naturally Georgia. The wine and people are just that awesome. This is always a must stop if I am anywhere in the north Georgia mountains. Naturally Georgia offers a nice cross-section of some of Georgia’s finest wine producers. No need to drive hundreds of miles to sample multiple vineyards. Naturally Georgia is your 1 stop to try dozens of great wines. The staff and local regulars that frequent this business really make it feel like home. There is a selection of local art and crafts for sale in the tasting room as well and it’s always fun to walk around and take in the local arts. I highly recommend dropping in for a tasting or just a glass of wine. This business is truly a gem that Dahlonega is luck to have.
