First off, I apologize for lack of photos. When we walked into this place, it was for the Wine…read moreTasting, so didn't even realize they had other things to purchase. It's not super easy to find! Dahlonega has lots of interesting twists and turns and back alley shops and some shops blended in so well with other places, that a random door opens up to more unique experiences. So, that's how we found this place. We were waiting to get our names in for Bourbon Street Grille, and this random door behind us boasted wine tasting. I thought it was just a one room deal behind us. When you see the door and the shop, you'll fully understand. If you like wine, this is worth it and a MUCH better deal than the Wine Festival (which is what we came for). It's not a big place and technically only has about 8 seats at the bar for tasting. Thankfully, it seemed all the festival goers didn't know about this place (bc it's totally a Harry Potter hidden type of deal) so we got 4 seats. The kids roamed around the shop while we tried wine. The flights are $12/$16 based off the wines you want. They have white, red, blended and rose. Oh, check in on Yelp and receive one free taste of any wine (I used mine)!!! I did the Rose, Merlot, Vidal Blanc, Pinot Grigio, and the Petit Manseng. Loved the Merlot (had a spicy after taste) the most! Then the Pinot Grigio. The Petit Manseng is their strongest wine but was my least favorite. However, I tasted the Trillium from someone else's in our group and LOVED IT. We ended up buying a bottle of Mtn Harvest Red plus the Apfelwein (the lady described it so well and made us want to get a bottle). I can honestly say I had such a buzz from the flight that I stopped drinking when we went to go eat. The wine was really good and certainly hit, so be careful! Totally worth checking this place out, if you can find it!!!

ART FOR ART'S SAKE!…read more This gallery is really a co-op for artists. It has five rooms and is currently hosting approximately sixteen artists. There works are varied and include paintings, jewelry, sculpture and other mediums. When I walked in, I was immediately drawn to a black and white portrait of a man in a cowboy hat. It was very interesting because the artist had captured the very character of his subject. As I am bent over, I hear a voice and when I look up I see the artist and the subject standing there. Crazy! I go back to the art because it just draws me in. As I am exploring the piece, I learn that the subject is an actor, voice over artist and a poet. He actually performs what he describes as "cowboy poetry" but says "you probably won't like it". Wow, what a salesman. Never assume! I wish that he had a sample of his poetry available because a CD of the poetry was paired with his portrait for sale. I just don't purchase material unless I am familiar with it and somehow feel a connection. I feel that this was a missed opportunity. However, I did take a business card to follow up on the cowboy poet and his specific type of poetry. It was nice to talk to some of the artists and to look at their work. This was a very unique space and I noticed that it also hosts wine tastings which for wine drinkers is a great way to enjoy art. Art and wine just pair together quite nicely. If you are interested in their special events, you can check their Facebook page. This was a nice gallery and a nice departure from the hustle and bustle of the Gold Rush activity. It would be a nice destination on your journey through Dahlonega.
