Engelheim Vineyards

My friend and I popped in on Wednesday for a tasting and sat on the patio overlooking the vineyard. It was a warm day, but not unbearable. There was an ax unit in the corner hooked up and easily available to access if needed, but we didn't need it. After enjoying snacks (that we brought) and our wines we were given a tour of the wine making facilities and event center. The center was beautiful with floor to ceiling windows that looked out on the vineyard. It's a very beautiful place to have a wedding, bridal shower, baby shower, or any even really!!! The barrel room is awesome also and I enjoyed seeing how the wine is stored and bottled. I can't wait to return!

Beautiful winery. Arrive is awesome and the view is breathtaking. Such a delightful place to wind down and relax.

Place has really expanded and now has large event hall.service is very good and workers extremely friendly. They offer catered food from local people and the hall can easily accommodate 400+ parties. Tour the vineyards and wine production. Great views on the property. Separate store for wine tastings and purchases.

Engelheim Vineyards is a gorgeous vineyard in Ellijay, GA. It is close to downtown Ellijay and a true gem in the area. The ladies helped me decide between the wines and the pricing is very reasonable at $7-8 a glass, $20 a bottle, and $14 for a tasting of 4 flights at 1 oz. each. I decided to go with my favorite--a glass of rose. It was both sweet and savory. There was ample indoor seating, screened patio seating, and outdoor vineyard seating. I really enjoyed the peaceful ambiance and stunning vineyard and mountain views. Beautiful grounds and delicious wines. Highly recommend!

With a cross section of people who take the time to Yelp, it says something that the general consensus for Engelheim is five stars.

Here's why:
^^^ The wine is quite good, better than I've had in a number of North Georgia vineyards. There's something for everyone, ranging from dry to sweet. They also offer wine slushies, which from experience taste better than they sound.
^^^ The price of tastings has gone up but it's still reasonable: four generous pours -- patron's choice of white, red or a combo -- for $12. I like the way it's presented, making it easy to carry your tasting outside.
^^^ It doesn't break the bank to purchase bottles of wine. Engel Weiss, which we enjoyed at lunch, is $28.
^^^ Unlike other wineries that prohibit outside food, Engelheim is fine with it, provided you eat outdoors. They also have items for sale. We traditionally bring a picnic to enjoy with a bottle chosen from one of our tastes. On Saturday we were entertained with live music -- not so loud to be intrusive.
^^^ Do you have a well-mannered dog? Bring him!
^^^ There are tables outside -- more umbrellas are on order -- and there's a covered area attached to the building. (Don't look up! Barn swallows swoop in and out -- but they don't bother you.) One doesn't even have to go upstairs to use the restroom. There's a neat and clean lavatory right here.
^^^ Like all vineyards, the scenery is bucolic, relaxing and a great get-away from the city. A hall for weddings and other celebrations is near completion -- and it looks lovely!

Very nice vineyard with friendly people. Our first stop of the day and so far I can't see it getting better!

Wines were really tasty and the atmosphere was very relaxing.

The Doxology was our fav so we got a bottle of that one.

Today was our last day of our 8 day vacation. We kept seeing this vineyard but it was in the opposite direction of everything we wanted to do. We decided on our last morning that we would start the day off here. Man, if we had missed this simply because of location it would have been a sad affair. We went in as soon as they opened and Jeni was there to greet us. We went in for the tasting , there was 3 of us and I am the only non-wine drinker. After telling her this she suggested several of the wines she felt would be best to try and with every description she gave she was spot on. She truly made this experience by far the best. The setting was absolutely amazing and it was the best start to a last day ever!

Stopped here for wine tasting after a fall afternoon spent picking apples. We tasted at the bar and had a cheese plate in the outdoor seating area. The vineyard views are beautiful and service was friendly. It's hard to wear your mask while tasting wine, but it's possible to distance yourself from others.
Lovely experience and purchased white wine to take home.

Engelheim Vineyards is without a doubt one of our favorite spots to visit in north Georgia! The staff is so helpful, the setting is serenely beautiful, and the wine is impeccable.

Located 10 miles southwest of Ellijay, the vineyard is placed on rolling hills overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. The winery is built in German style and is quite stunning both inside and out. On our most recent visit we dropped in with another family who was traveling with us. Between both families we had 6 small children, but instead of making us feel unwelcome, Emily grabbed popsicles for our kids and allowed us to set them up on the back veranda. While our kids enjoyed the popsicles and iPads we had brought (definitely don't bring your kids and just let them run around the winery!), the four adults sampled various wines.

Legitimately every wine is different and delightful. I am typically a huge fan of red wine, and Engelheim Trillium, Doxology, and Cab are all incredible. However, on this hot day we were refreshed by whites, the ladies taking down Sweet Molly while I enjoyed the delicious Engel Weiss.

Enough good things can't be said about this place. If you are in the north Georgia mountains you should definitely stop by for a visit!

Nestled in the hills just outside Ellijay is this jewel of a winery that is off the main path-...you will not accidently happen upon it. They grow most of the grapes used for their excellent wines..which span the full range of dry and spicy to the mandatory Georgian saccharine. My favorite was the dry blend of three reds. Prices are higher than typical local wineries, but so too is the quality.
The premises are beautiful and pastoral, and are immaculately clean and inviting.
The food selection is limited to cheese plates or pretzels, which is fine.
The only negative is the festoon of political signs along the entrance, which may not resonate with your own political affililiations, but is fully representative of the local demographic. But remember over 50% of people statistically would disagree with them.
