Wineries

Tiger Winery

Blessed with some of the steepest, well-drained hillsides in the U.S., North Georgia’s topography, elevation, and climate is extraordinarily well suited to a relatively recent agricultural development in Rabun County – vineyards

Habersham Vineyards:

The winery is located in the Nacoochee Village, also home to an historic grist mill, antiques, shopping, dining, cabin rental, and flyfishing. Located 22 miles Southwest of Clayton. Contact them at 706-878-9463.

Tiger Mountain Vineyards:

Tiger Mountain Vineyards is nestled on a hillside high up in Rabun County, on the rocky, sunny slopes of the North Georgia mountains. Our vineyard is small, the vines individually tended and the grapes hand-picked for quality. Our red wines are barrel-aged 12 to 24 months. Visit the vineyards and enjoy barrel-room tastings! Located 3 miles Southwest of Clayton. Contact them at (706) 782-4777.

Persimmon Creek Vineyards:

It’s a family affair in Persimmon Creek Valley, and everything done here is by hand – laying down the stakes, pruning the vines, picking the grapes, topping the barrels, punching in the corks and applying the labels to each individual bottle. A labor of love, which we hope you can taste in each of our Persimmon Creek wines. Located 12 1/2 miles west of Clayton. Contact them at (706) 212-7380.
