Charming local winery with great service! Cloudland is smaller than the big Dahlonega spots, especially inside, but the vibe is warm and welcoming. The gentleman pouring was super helpful--guided me to a rosé we loved (Florida Joe's). We relaxed under a shady tree and would love to return when there's live music. read more

We came here on a Friday evening for the book festival featuring local writers! It was easy to find and close to the exit off 985. There were people directing parking and plenty of spaces. They have a large outdoor area with music. Bring your chairs and hang out! You can order your wine and snack foods inside. The wine is typical of Georgia wines and the prices are reasonable. The snack are made of local ingredients and the charcuterie board was yum. Everyone was very nice and friendly. You can also try the wines before purchasing. I got a bottle of dry rosé. I love the atmosphere and it was a good time for hanging out. I would love to see more food options, maybe food trucks since there aren't restaurants close by. But overall, a fun place to visit with friends! read more

Sean and team really do a phenomenal job! Every visit and interaction feels welcoming and inviting, truly. The sparkling Natty is dangerous and gets me every time! read more

Quick, helpful and efficient Ambiance: There's plenty of outdoors seating. It was nice sitting under the trees and chatting my husbae. read more

New to the area and looking to expand our wine experience beyond up and down the West Coast. Nice quaint venue, super friendly staff with great attention and explanations. While we generally lean toward reds, we found the whites to be good, particularly a sparkling Chardonnay and the 'Wildflower', otherwise the wines were ok, nothing to write home about. For a snack we had the pimento cheese and crackers which was good. We really liked the rustic grounds and the huge tree to sit under. Perhaps more than half of the chairs are very low, and while great, if you're older (like us) you have a difficult time getting up from being down so low. Maybe intersperse a bit more 'typical' height seats; we just moved things around. Overall thought the wine/food was a bit on the pricey side. I suspect returning when music or an event was on tap may be a bit more inspiring. We would likely return to try with some live music or opportunistically should we be nearby sometime. Wouldn't be a destination for just wine. read more

I've driven by Cloudland several times but just recently had the opportunity to stop in and try. It's a small vineyard with cozy seating outdoors and some indoor seating. The selection of wine and food is limited but what I had was great! I really enjoyed the Natty wine sparkling wine with their crackers and hummus. If you're in Buford and don't want to travel far for a cute date night, give this place a try! read more

A beautiful little vineyard/winery in Buford. Yes, Buford. I drove past this place about 100x before finally stopping by and I am very glad I did. They have a solid selection, my favorite being their Cab Franc. Very kind, good hearted owners. Plus they have music and food events. I definitely plan on returning this winter. read more

Nice location. Had been there when it first opened and the wine was decent . Went back and took a friend. There was no food truck like they usually have. It says you can't bring your oven food. Yet it offered overpriced charcuterie boards. The atmosphere nice. The wine ok. $39 a bottle is steep. The charcuterie not worth $25. It was so much better when if first opened. ​​ read more

A quaint winery in Buford. The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful. The different seating areas are really nice so everyone can spread out. A few fire pits for colder weather. We did a tasting flight that was good. For food we ordered the pimento cheese and hummus. Both were tasty. I would definitely visit again. read more

Don't come with a group! We called weeks before to make a reservation for us 14 women coming for a friends birthday. It was a special and surprise birthday party so we wanted to be prepared and make it as smooth as possible. Well Cloudland isn't hospitable or helpful at all. They made us a "reservation" but that means absolutely nothing. We arrive and there are two people in the entire winery. The bartender was not friendly and told us "there's chairs outside you can get" so we brought several fold up lawn chairs inside since it was raining so we could all sit inside. The first two wines we ordered her response was "we're out" and "out of that too". Not sure why she was so unfriendly to a group who was coming to spend money at the establishment. We never felt welcomed or wanted and I wouldn't go back. read more

A very nice little boutique vineyard. Cool sitting areas around the vineyard and some chairs around wood burning fire pits. We got a bottle of the rose' to start. A tad on the sweet side but not overly sweet by any means. Our second bottle was the Chardonnay. A bit different than your average. It is aged in neutral oak and has a creamy taste. We bought the meat and cheese board with a couple nice slabs of local cheese, salami prosciutto strawberries, pita bread, nacho chips, a jar of apricot jelly and cashews. A great relaxing time. read more

Cute, quaint little winery right in my home town! We did the wine tasting where we got 6 pours which were quite generous and honestly they were all delicious!! We bought meat and cheese platter and hummus to snack on. The girls were so nice they helped us build a fire in the many fire pits on site. Chickens roamed the property which added to our experience. We'll definitely go back, they told us they have live music on Friday and Saturday nights plus a food truck. read more

This place is a hidden gem and so worth a return trip again and again. My gf and I had an amazing time here. We bought a glass each and lounged for most of the afternoon on the covered patio. They have small bites available for purchase. Each plate is beautifully assembled by the staff and brought to you where ever you sit on the patio. We enjoyed the mothers day special sangria for $10 a glass. We also snacked on their prosciutto and arugula plate. There was live music and the atmosphere is friendly and warm. The views are outstanding. It was dope watching the chickens graze. And the backdrop. This is a must go. You can be there either dressed down or dressed up. Most of the people were locals and dressed down in relaxed wear. read more

Great wine and venue! Offers both indoor and outdoor options. Very nice option if you're visiting with young kids

This is an amazing spot in a place I would have never expected to see a winery. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff in the tasting room with 5 wines currently on their menu. Plenty of comfortable seating with several fire rings. I highly recommend coming here to relax and taste a few new wines! read more

The wine is cloudy...hence the name. They do not filter the wine. The Lomato and Chardonnay were my favorites. It is a fun place to go when you can't travel far into the mountains. Good live music at 5 pm. Wish the meat and cheese board was larger. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. read more

Lovely hidden gem, especially when the weather is nice. Not recommended for families with children.

People are great. The wine is not very good. If you want to grab friends and hang out it's fine.

It was just ok... nothing to rush back to. Wasn't the experience that I was expecting. Staff was great and super friendly.

What a great experience at Cloudland a few weeks ago! Make sure you make a reservation online to enjoy a fabulous day of tasting this vineyards deliciously unique wines. They did not create a charcuterie board for us so there was no pretty presentation for me to rave about but we ordered the cow's milk cheese, muscadine jelly, milk chocolate, and meats and crackers separately a built our own spread. I do hope the reason they did not do this for us is due to COVID but I'm not sure. My favorite wine is the Lamanto 2019 but everything I tried was good. I've never tasted anything like it and had to buy a bottle to bring home. I'd totally purchase again. Great outdoor seating options too! read more

Awesome place to hang out and have some good wine. You can sit right in between the vineyard rows growing grapes and they had plenty of umbrellas for shade. The snacks were delicious and so was the rose. Will come back again and again! read more

So, there's only 5 wines to choose from, no sweeter wines in case that's your thing. There are appetizer type foods. The charcuterie boards were ok, hummus fine, pimento cheese was good. The cheese straws are boxed, not made there. My biggest complaint is the attitude of the girls working there. I placed an order for some food then ran to potty while my cousin was ordering. When I came back the girl was pretty rude about the fact they don't do open tabs, which is completely fine but didn't know I couldn't pay at the end since I was ordering food. I personally didn't like the wines they had but my cousins all drank a glass each. As we were leaving, the blonde girl was rolling her eyes at us. We were the only people left in there so there's no way it was anyone else she was rolling her eyes about. We moved on to Chateau Elan. I would NEVER go to this winery again nor would I bring my family from out of town as I did today. read more
