As a young lad I used to despise the taste of wine. It was either too sweet, too dry, tasted like…read moredirt, or reminded me of chewing on a cigar. After spending time in France touring Moët & Chandon, G.H. Mumm, and other Champagne houses, while visiting vineyards throughout the region, I started to develop an appreciation for the nectar of the gods derived from tiny, beautiful, round globes from around the world. I began recognizing the different intricacies and characteristics that make each wine unique. Fast forward a decade. I'd been going to this strip of businesses in Chamblee for years, usually hitting up the microbrewery and sushi restaurant across the street. One day I walked out and saw this wine shop that seemed to have appeared out of thin air... at least in my mind. I walked in and started chatting with the two amazing gentlemen behind the counter, who turned out to be the new owners. The shop had literally opened just two days earlier. They were incredibly kind, but more importantly, they knew their stuff. Never pretentious, never trying to impress you with wine jargon; just genuinely passionate about helping people discover great bottles. I immediately joined their Wine of the Month Club. For $50 a month, I get two curated bottles, discounts, and a few other perks. And this isn't some bottom-shelf stuff you grab while picking up paper towels at Kroger. These are thoughtfully selected bottles that are often from outside the U.S., which is right up my alley since I'd rather drink warm sewage water than most American wine... yes, even California. If Napa really is producing world-class wine, they apparently keep hiding it from me. Every month has been like Christmas morning, wondering what two bottles they'll surprise me with next. I'm genuinely sad that I'll be leaving Atlanta in the near future for a multitude of reasons, and this little wine shop is surprisingly high on that list. The monthly club has expanded my palate, but it's the ownership and staff that keep me coming back. They're knowledgeable without being pretentious, welcoming without being pushy, and they've created exactly the kind of neighborhood wine shop every city deserves. Verdict: Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or someone who still thinks every bottle tastes like dirt, this place is worth a stop. You might just leave with a bottle you never would have picked... and a Wine of the Month membership you didn't plan on signing up for.

Oh what a wonderful surprise and experience it was........So let's just say that I was very stunned to learn that there were so many wineries in the state of Georgia. This is how my journey unfolded on this beautiful day; I will start with Tom Ward the owner....Mr. Wine Connoisseur himselfJ Very knowledgeable and full of wisdom beyond his years. There wasn't a question that I asked or wanted to learn about wines that Tom wasn't able to provide me with an answer for. Tom was friendly, kind, attentive and very accommodating. Once we got on the tour bus, filled with snacks, water, wine and movies I was like a kid on her way to her very first field trip. We made a stop at one of his pickup locations to pick up two additional lovely ladies. We stopped and had a celebratory toast to begin our wine adventure; it was amazing. From there, we drove to the first winery "Wolf Mountain Vineyard". It was cozy, beautiful, with great ambiance. We had a quick bite (very delicious) and of course several rounds of wine tasting. Then we were off again to our 2nd winery "Serenity Cellars". This in itself was an amazing experience. The staff was remarkable; there was a wide selection of wines red and white. I am normally a sweet wine drinker, but this definitely gave me an opportunity to expand my palate and gave me a better appreciation for different wines. Of course, I could not forget the beautiful young lady that serenaded us with her lovely voice. Lastly, our 3rd winery "Kaya Vineyard & Winery". This winery was a little bit more upbeat, much younger crowd, not as quaint as the other wineries but nonetheless still good. There wines were ok but didn't knock me off my feet. Yes, I still drank it.....all of it lol. The view was amazing, one of the most beautiful rainbows I have ever seen. It was just my luck because then the second rainbow came out; first time ever seeing a double rainbow. So I said all this to say, no matter your level of expertise with wines this is the tour for you. There is something for everyone. I bought several bottles of wine and have been enjoying some and put the rest up for another time. I am a light weight so on the way home I slept like a baby while everyone else enjoyed a great documentary on wines. I am actually looking forward to doing this tour again. Maybe in the Spring or the Summer. One of my best tours ever!!!!! I applaud the level of excellence received at ATL Vineyard Express.

Our tour was on a Saturday, two of the wineries had live music and food for purchase. Each winery was beautifully decorated and offered wine and cute gifts to purchase.

At each destination he was attentive and periodically checked on everyone in my party. He was available if we needed anything and communicated the times to ensure we were on schedule. He also was an awesome camera man. The Cana team was very professional and responsive to all questions and inquiries.
