The wines and house-made ciders (local Ellijay apples!) are excellent. The Roost Bistro, features refined Appalachian-inspired dishes with locally sourced ingredients -- think fresh trout, premium steaks, foraged Ellijay mushrooms, garden vegetables grown on site, and seasonal specials. The service was friendly and knowledgeable, led by Sebastian. A must-visit in North Georgia. We'll be back soon!

There's a restaurant too but it wasn't open, so we tried a few different wines at the bar before making our final choice to split a bottle. I ordered the lobster roll, but their chicken salad was kinda the star of the show. There's a beautiful back patio & this is a dog friendly spot! Plenty of comfy, rustic, & modern indoor seating as well. Enjoy.

There was live music inside, creating a cool and relaxed atmosphere, and everyone we met was incredibly kind. My wife mentioned that her favorite wines are Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc, and the staff immediately offered her two great options to taste. She ended up choosing the Sauvignon Blanc and enjoyed every sip. We sat outside under the covered area along the building and took in the beautiful view of the vines -- such a peaceful setting and perfect for entertaining or just unwinding. Although we saw a food truck on the way in, we didn't try it, but we did notice a family enjoying a picnic, which was a nice touch since you can bring your own food.

All the wines I tasted were pretty darn good but what made this 5 stars for me wasn't the wine itself but everything else that came along with it. Service was great. Tyler provided our wine tasting experience and he was friendly and definitely has an old soul. Super likable young man. Wine tasting allowed me to pick a wine I liked, so I ordered a glass to enjoy outside and the outdoor space reminded me of wine country on the Central Coast of California. Beautiful outdoor space, super comfortable and great live music. Although I want to try all the wineries in the area, I will definitely be sure to stop by this one again.

We also ordered wine with crackers and cheese, but I was disappointed with the presentation. Everything was served on paper plates, and we had to cut the cheese ourselves, which felt a little underwhelming for a winery experience. The scenery and atmosphere were enjoyable, but the food presentation and service could definitely be improved.

As a native Californian who frequents the Central Coast of California and who has visited Temecula and Napa, I'm someone who enjoys spending the day wine tasting with beautiful scenery. Fainting Goat Vineyards definitely provides a beautiful atmosphere to enjoy wine. I didn't try a wine I didn't like and even dared to taste a couple of wine slushies. I was cautiously curious but surprised how refreshing this item was. I will say, I was a little upset that the goats refused to interact with me.... I even took it somewhat personally BUT there was great music, a great view, and Aiden oversaw our wine tasting experience and he was awesome! We enjoyed our experience so much we bought two wine glasses with their logos to bring home and regularly enjoy a nice glass of wine out of them. I highly recommend this spot.

One thing that ruined if for us was another family letting their kids play out on the grass next to where the goats were resting. That should be discouraged, even not allowed. This is a family-owned winery and the owners were very nice. But honestly, the wine wasn't that memorable, so we opted not to buy any (sorry). Overall a nice change of pace and probably good for larger groups.

Alease welcomed us with a smile and we felt right at home with her. My husband and I wanted to try all the wines so we ordered three flights to share. Each wine was so unique and fun! We took our flights outside to the patio and enjoyed the butterflies and breeze as we guessed what flavors were in each wine. My husband loved the winter spice, Georgia on my mind, and the bulldog red! We ended up buying multiple bottles to take home with us. After our tasting Alease talked to us and shared some of her favorite hiking spots. Everything was so wonderful here we will absolutely return! If you're in the area this winery is worth a visit.
