Jul 31stWineries in 2023

We started the summer visiting the mountains in Northern Georgia. Outside the town of Helen, we discovered quite a few wineries. We decided to spend a couple of days trying a few of them. With an eclectic mix of sweets, such as Muscadines to very dry red blends, there seems to be something for everyone. Enjoy some winery photos.
