Open everyday (perfect for people like me that are visiting in the middle of the week for a random event and wants something to do) or the perfect date night.. Service was perfect: friendly and knowledgeable. Order at the counter and then find your seat. PLENTY of options for seating depending on your mood AND, if they have the space open or not. Food options are limited during the week but during the weekend, they have a full menu. I had a charcuterie board that was hardy and full of options. I also had a red wine flight that was perfect for the cold evening. Then there was the sunset. Oh the sunset.. ugh just perfect with the French jazzy music and pure tranquil atmosphere. I absolutely loved this place. I was told they have live music during the weekend and have most of the areas open as well but since it was Tuesday, it was limited. They also have a private event space. I only wish I lived near by, this would be a regular spot for me!

Visited this winery with a group and had a disappointing experience with how service was handled…read more Our table was told we were being cut off due to alleged behavior that did not apply to our group, and despite clarifying the situation, service remained inconsistent across our party. The situation felt mismanaged and could have been resolved with clearer communication and better verification before refusing service. Unfortunately, it impacted the overall guest experience enough that we chose to leave. Hoping this constructive feedback helps improve consistency and service moving forward.

WINE NOT OTT | it was a beautiful day for a wine tasting and our first stop on our impromptu wine…read moretour (self guided) was Ott Vineyards. It was a bit chilly to sit outdoors and since we had the pup in tow, we sat in the covered patio, although it basically felt like indoors. Super dog friendly! We ordered a few snacks to nibble on while we sipped on our wine flights. Overall, it was a bit loud from the indoor live music, but otherwise, it was a rowdy fun time and great way to start our wine tour! There wasn't one wine that stood out from the rest but loved that a flight of 1 oz pours of 4 different wines of our choice was only $10 (may have increased since our visit in the fall a couple years ago). But definitely recommend as a stop if you're in Ellijay checking out wineries!

There are kids books near the fireplace as well, in the indoor seating area, full of windows and ample seating overlooking the gorgeous views. We sat on the elevated screened porch (which has a beautiful view of the vineyards) with a few wine flights and our pup. We played Uno with our kids for a bit and then they tossed a baseball down in the grass below. It was a relaxing, tech free day with no complaints for anyone. Loved it. It is clearly a go-to spot for locals, as there were many people conducting remote work from the space as well. I think it's telling that people feel "at home" here. Regarding the wine, we had great recommendations from the owner and liked all that we sampled. My husband's favorite was the Chardonnay and mine the house Riesling, which we purchased a bottle of to bring home.

It was super busy inside for a Wednesday afternoon (given it was that awkward week between Christmas and New Years that no one knows what is going on during LOL) and since we had the pup, we decided to sit outside. The view was GORGEOUS outside, and during golden hour/sunset, it was a beautiful way to end the year. If this is your first visit, I definitely recommend trying different wines with their tasting menu - I like dry reds so I opted for the Paint the Town Red - fruit forward dry reds. They also have many other tasting menu options and a long wine menu to choose from. Can't wait for my next North Georgia trip to stop in for more red vino!

They have a fairly large variety of wines ranging from very sweet muscadines to dry oaky Merlots. Something for everyone. The added bonus is that we were allowed to bring food because they are limited in their offerings. We were able to bring the wedding cake supplied by Alpines bakery in Woodstock. Check for yourself it's. Beautiful view of the valley and a great conversational piece with the house situated across the way. We are also entertained by live music of some country and rock. Over all a good day to wine!

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. They also had a bin full of games for kids or groups to enjoy!

If you want to talk with the staff, you can do the tasting standing up at the bar area otherwise you can get tokens. You can drink a glass, wander around then turn in a token to get another. We all did flights of wine tastings and stayed at the bar. Super fun time and the pours were generous. It wasn't busy at all and they had live music upstairs. My favorites were the whites, as those are the grapes they grow on the property. The Vidal Blanc was delicious, wasn't too sweet or dry. I ended up buying a bottle and a Merlot off their library selection. Would definitely be back!
