O u r S t o r y

It all started in 1995, when our family found the perfect plot of land beneath Sharp Mountain. Inspired by the belief that great wine begins with great fruit, we planted our first European Vinifera vines with one goal in mind — to create world-class wine, right here in North Georgia.

sustainability

M i n d f u l n e s s o f t h e E n v i r o n m e n t

As part of the agricultural industry, we fully depend on our surrounding, just as it depends on us. That’s why we grow our produce organically and sustainably. Over the past decades the carbon footprint of the winery has been positive, which is something we’re really proud of.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. From hand-harvesting to low-intervention winemaking, our winery is committed to practices that protect the land and honor future generations. We believe that respecting nature is essential to producing wines of true character and purity.
