"Wine is bottled poetry." Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus While I'm not the best at rhyming, I am at timing, and hitting up Tiger Mountaim Vineyards on a beautiful Autumn day was indeed perfect timing. After only one visit, I can say this may be my favorite vineyard in the Georgia mountains. Unpretentious, yet still classy, it delivers exactly what you want in a winery, great wine, great views, great service. As a bonus it also has a great menu of casual food at very reasonable prices. They have flights available, but what I really appreciated is they let you sample before you buy. We chose the Viogneir, a grape I think really does well in Georgia, and it was delish. We also had their hummus and olive plate and a flatbread pizza, both were presented well and perfect. They have great outdoor seating very close to the vineyard, with a fantastic mountain backdrop. Service was fast and friendly and staff was very attentive to us our entire visit. Looking forward to returning soon! read more

This is one of my favorite Rabun County wineries. Everyone is sooo nice and knowledgeable. We went on Valentine's Day and had the special of 4 tastings and charcuterie board. It was delicious! I love sitting outside overlooking the vines and mountains. So romantic and perfect for our first Valentine's Day! (I live in Rabun and come here A LOT!) read more

After our hike, we decided to stop here for some wine and food. The lady who took care of us was very knowledgeable and gave us great recommendation. Wine tasting was $25, but I decided to get a sweet peach wine. It was delicious. They also had wine slushie, three flavors to choose from. The food menu was limited but had good options. We got the charcuterie board and the Italian flatbread. Everything was delicious. It would be great had the charcuterie board has like pickles or even olives, that would be a nice touch. The view was beautiful. We sat outside and enjoy the view for a few hours before heading home. We had a great time overall, and I would totally come back. read more

This is my second time here - we came 2 years ago and they have continued to make improvements! Place looks great. Staff is friendly - very kind to POC. The crowd is young, hip and cool. I love the wine slushies! I recommend the tour too! I love the Viognier and Pinot Grigio. This place is better than Stonewall Creek and the views are better. Thank me later. read more

What a fun afternoon meeting with friends over good food. The service was nice and relaxed. The wine was all made with local grapes, so not my favorite. We got the Rabun Red that paired well with the crab dip. The views are gorgeous this time of year too. Live music began right as we were leaving. read more

Outstanding, beautiful afternoon with my husband at the Tiger Mountain Vineyard. A beautiful vineyard with a superior staff and excellent food. We arrived shortly after they opened & warmly greeted. We requested the patio, as it is a beautiful day. Our waitress was so friendly & gave us the history of the vineyard & went through the wine list. Majority of the wine is produced on the property. I was intrigued they also prepare a picnic on request, have weekend events, in addition to the wine tasting. We decided on lunch, a small but delicious menu. We had a bottle of the Norton wine, a cup of tomato bisque soup & Brie appetizer & shared a hamburger, topped with the Apple cinnamon bread pudding. Fantastic, relaxing & lazy afternoon. We have every intention to pay future visit. There are plans to add AirB&Bs to the property. read more

A cute little winery located near Clayton. They have made the barn into a cafe where people can enjoy some food and the views. My group and I came for a tasting and the tasting room was located towards the parking lot away from the views and barn. You have to walk through the gift shop to get to it. The wine tasting room could probably use some music playing in the background. It was very quiet in there and it felt like we just had to fill the void. We did the flight and every single wine in their flight was delicious. My favorite was the Viognier. I'm not a fan of Rose but their Rose is pretty good. The folks helping us out in the cellar were really kind and gave us a history lesson about the property. They also told us some personal stories since they're from Florida and that's where I grew up. The location of the property is really nice and picturesque. read more

I haven't been to a winery in a Long while and this was a great one to go to for the first time in years. Chandler, one of the wine bartenders, was great. He was very knowledgeable and gave free eat recommendations on wines. I opted for the flight, $25 per person, and well worth it. They had live music Saturday from 2-5 and made for a nice ambiance inside no matter the size of your group. Definitely recommend stopping here if you're in town and definitely try the Norton wine... delicious read more

I took a trip to Clayton Georgia this week with a few friends and Tiger Mountain Vineyard was our favorite stop along the way! Everything from the views, hospitality, and wines were exceptional. Nicolette and Stacy both did an amazing job at explaining each wine to us during our tasting and made sure we had a great experience. The atmosphere is really cozy with live music, sofas, and a cabin-like feel. I definitely recommend visiting TMV on your wine tour or if you're looking for something fun to do on the weekend. read more

A pretty nice spot in the hills. 8 wines to choose from. Only 2 whites and 6 reds so this is a red drinkers spot! Had all of them except the sweet white and Norton. Fav was the Malbec and the fearful symmetry. Got a bottle of the last one. Heads up they are still wearing masks as of 10-8-2021 so don't forget yours. They did have some in case you do. read more

We ordered a flight at the tasting room and carried it to the Red barn to sit outside. We enjoyed the live music and view of the vineyard. You can also order wine at the red barn. They are not offering tastings at this time due to Covid. You can park next to the street which is by the tasting room or pull in and go a little up a hill to park by the red barn. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. read more

We picked this vineyard out to visit on a recent three day trip to the area. It was a Chamber of Commerce weather day for August in North Georgia, not too hot, clear blue skies with a dot here and there of puffy white clouds with the mountains and vineyard view - beautiful. We had made a reservation for a wine tasting in the "barrel room" but arrived a bit early. It was somewhat confusing with the signage as to where we should go - up to the Red Barn, or to the winery. So, up to the Red Barn, which learned was an old cow/dairy barn, renovated. This was a great setting with an impressive interior bar area and an outer seating area equally impressive. We met Luke, the wine master and sommelier, who escorted us down to the winery area and began our tasting. Luke was helpful and knowledgeable (especially since he had been at this vineyard for only 2 weeks, formerly at another vineyard in Dahlonega). He had to scoot off to a private group tasting. Although we had mentioned our reservation on arrival, it was not until a couple of taste servings that I thought something was "off" and mentioned again to Kelly, the other tasting coordinator, about it. She said we were supposed to be in the barrel room, so off we go. This was a larger space and I understand a newer addition (as within just a few days or a week since the barrels arrived). There we were treated to larger sampling of each of their five featured wines. We actually had to tell them to back off a little on the size since one of us had to drive! Imagine that ($24 per person, so we got a fair deal). So we are sitting there alone, left to our wine and Spotify music in this great setting and in walks Jabe. Jabe says he does "a little bit of everything around here", and that is because he is the General Manager but prefers the title Wine Maker. Jabe is the guy hired to revitalize Tiger Mountain Vineyards for a new owner and to really get it off the ground on new footing. He was pleasant and enjoyable to talk with about the vineyard, the plans for the future and his vision for the vineyard as an outdoor venue and destination. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and Jabe had all the time to answer our questions and discuss with us the vision and direction, even though I'm sure he was busy and didn't count on our being there. Next time we are in the area, we will come back and plan to eat as well at the Red Barn, take in some music and enjoy this North Georgia vineyard. We did like all five wines tasted and bought a bottle of the Merlot for later, when there was no driving in our future! read more

I believe Tiger Mountain Vineyards has new owners. This new and improved winery has so much to offer: a cafe (the food is delicious!), a large deck with lots of outdoor seating, and several fire pits all over looking the vineyard and mountains. So picturesque. They also have music on weekends and a great selection of wine (and a few slushies). Give this one a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

First visit since the new owners took over. Very well done. Great food ..great service and the overall atmosphere was perfect. This is a great addition to the wine scene in the northeastern corner of the state. Very classy presentation and they go out of their way to make you happy. Almost every employee will speak to you and they definitely care about their product....not as crowded as some of the touristy wineries, in other areas of North Georgia..,, it was a very pleasant experience. read more

It's unfortunate that they turned us away because we wanted to come out and enjoy the view and wine with our 3 month old baby. It's a wild concept to refuse business because people bring their children. Isn't the point of an outside venue for people and children to enjoy the outside? read more

This was a great stop on our road trip! We stopped into the tasting room and were pleasantly surprised by the wines and the super friendly and funny staff. The tasting included, I believe, 7 tastings and delicious cheeses, crackers, and dried fruit for $12. I'm kind of particular about wine. I normally prefer dry, bold reds. That being said, their whites were actually really good! Their reds were alright, but not really my thing. I think they maybe needed more time to age. Most of them had a bitter after taste and were a but to light to begin with, for me. They had a viognier and petit manseng (whites) that I particularly enjoyed. The staff knew the wine and grapes really well and had funny little stories to tell us. The tasting room was fairly full, but we didn't wait much time at all in between samples. I went home with a rosé, which was one of the best I've had. After our tastings, we each bought a glass of our favorite and walked around the property. There are benches and chairs to just sit and relax and enjoy the view. I would come back again the next time we are in town. read more

We had the pleasure of attending the Mother's Day Brunch 2023. The food was excellent, staff courteous and attentive, had transportation to and from parking area. Enjoyed visiting with old friends while making new ones. This winery has great wines, along with knowledgeable instructor who teaches the best method to enhance our wine tasting experiences. We definitely recommend Tiger Mt. Winery for fun, fellowship and food & wine. They do have drinks for for underage or anyone unable to have alcoholic beverages.

Great winery In the northeast Georgia mountains - and once you visit, you'll understand their label! Getting to Tiger Mountain Vineyards is simple - head toward Clayton and then take the Tiger connector over to that community and follow the signs for for vineyard. Parking is available across the street. They're putting the health and safety of their staff and customers first with several new protocols during this pandemic: - limiting the number of guests in the tasting room - masks are mandatory in the tasting room - providing a three pour taste with handy carriers - sanitizing regularly - providing hand sanitizer at the door - enforcing social distancing Tiger has tables set up in the Barrel Room and some outdoor seating, all of which are at least 6 feet apart. Once you've selected your tastings, you take your carrier to a table, sit and enjoy! The staff we encountered were friendly and knowledgeable. My palate doesn't appreciate Georgia red wines (something about the terroir here - maybe the clay??) so I gravitate to Georgia white wines for tastings. If you do to, I highly recommend their Petit Manseng. Excellent balance that makes it a great wine to sip OR to pair with food. In addition to the tasting room, they operate a special events facility (great views of Tiger Mountain!) and a restaurant (open seasonally only - it was closed for the winter). Based on the quality of the wines, value for the money, and the experience with the staff, I give Tiger high marks all around and recommend it for anyone on a Georgia wine tour. read more

We are faithful to this Southern vineyard. It's just the best one out here and when you sip their wines, it tastes of the area. What am I talking about? Just buy some Rabun Red and sit out in the porch and smell, feel, see and taste Rabun. read more

The Christmas Eve Brunch was disappointing. Obviously they were extremely short-staffed; we were there for 3 hours! A half hour before drink orders were taken and later, 25 minutes to get the check. The Red Barn was surprisingly sparsely populated while we were there. The mimosas and the food, were tasty but portions, particularly the frittatas, were ridiculously small. Those of you we interacted with were very nice but all seemed overwhelmed. We imbibed a couple of bottles of the excellent VC Vitello Pinot Grigio to pass the time. We are hoping they get fully staffed, polish up their service and are successful read more
