      Lovely low key winery and tasting room. Beautiful views of the vineyard and sharp mountain! Super friendly and good quality wines. Didn't love them all but did end up with 4 bottles to take home;) Very impressed that they are all single vineyard! Great story of how they got started as well:)

      I did enjoy Sharp Mountain Vineyards, but I don't think it quite makes my list of top favorite Georgia vineyards. This is a bit of a smaller place, and the interior doesn't fit too many people. There is a patio outside though and you can walk around outside near the vines.

      I think the most difficult part was getting here and the parking situation. The way to get here was an extremely winding and twisting road. It was pretty hard to drive, but most roads to vineyards in North Georgia are like that. However, I did think this was a little harder to navigate and drive to than others I have been to, though.

      The most important part is the wine. We got a Groupon deal for 2 premium wine tastings (pick 5) and a souvenir glass. We tried the:

      -Sauvignon Blanc: Flavors of fresh cut grass, melons, and herbs. Definitely a good one if you are a Sauvignon Blanc fan like I am!
      -Gewurztraminer: Gardenia and Jamaican allspice. This is the most unique one I tried with a very interesting spice flavor to it.
      -Sangiovese: Red with fruity flavors of strawberry, cherry, raisin, and spice. Medium-bodied.
      -Collage: Bordeaux blend with black cherry, raspberry, vanilla, and chocolate.
      -Trebonnay: Semi-sweet with pear, mango, and citrus.

      Most of the wines here are all dry. But there is one semi-sweet wine, and 3 sweet wines. I enjoyed all the ones I tried! I really would recommend all of them. After the tasting, I also got a glass of Pickens Pink, a sweet blush wine with cherry-berry flavors. I thought it was a sweet, refreshing finish to the tasting.

      For parking, there are only 3 or 4 parking spots and the rest of the cars were parallel parked on a very small section of the road. There was no space available when we got there, so we actually parked somewhere across the street and walked there, which I'm not sure if we were allowed to do.

      The lady working here was very friendly and pretty quick to fill our next tasting. However, she did accidentally overcharge us since we already paid on Groupon and she charged us again. She did reverse it though, so not too big of a deal.

      Sharp Mountain is a cool place to check out if you are looking for a new vineyard to try in North Georgia! I really liked looking at all the vines since all the rows are marked with what kind of wine those grapes produce. There's also a nice mountain backdrop to the vineyard which gives it a nice view.

      Outside in the vineyard...nice view!

      Really pretty vineyard. Not very big. Has outdoor picnic seating. Small indoors. Not many choice of cheese and meat/ cracker menue . $10 5 tastings of any wine. If it wasn't for the group that went wouldn't have been much fun. Would have only given it two stars. They do not have a sommelier. She was not friendly/hospitable. Did not know the wines nor the pairings. Don't expect a profesional experience. It's mostly just to sell the bottles and be out. You have to do your own tasting and figure it out.

      I really enjoyed visiting this winery. Hearing the history and the variety of wines, this place has both sweet and dry wines for people to enjoy. I ended up leaving with 2 bottles of Pinot Gris. I'm more of a dry wine person! It was interesting because their red wines were chilled! It didn't bother me because it's hot in the summer time so it's nice to have something chilled. They had 5 tastings for $10 and the bottles range from $15-29 each. The lot is small but if you make a right instead of turning left as if you're entering the winery. Turn right and there's a much larger shady parking lot. The outdoor area is very nice equipped with tables, outlets, and fans. Bring your lunch or a snack! I definitely enjoyed myself here!

      Beautiful winery!! As you drive up the drive way the mountains and scenery comes out of no where.
      The wine was really good too. This place is cute and comfy. The wine bar is small so come during off hours if you want to sit at the bar. We didn't stay for the band but they have one every Saturday during the summer. They also have outdoor sitting so you can really take in the view.

      Drove here from Johns Creek. The GPS made me go through a bunch of winding roads that were quite dangerous if you are not attentive to the sudden road changes. If you guys are coming from Marietta or SW Georgia, it's a little better. Sharp Mountain was something I never heard of until I discovered it from a Groupon ad.
      Located in Pickens County, Sharp Mountain offers an unique wine tasting experience with wines that are home grown on the same place that you taste them. the lady was nice and she was informative of all of the wines here. I like the reds and the sweets. I still prefer Wolf Mtn over this and other winery in the North Georgia.
      Check it out if you want something new esp if you are traveling from Gwinnett or Fulton.
      Parking will be a headache. There's a max of 5 slots and you are not allowed to park on the right side of the road making this is smallest parking lot for every other wineries I have been to in Georgia.

      Real, romantic wine tasting vineyard right in our own backyard- Jasper- yes it's true. Scenic drive and they take the time to educate you. Cost is $10 for 5 decent size samples. Honestly, that may be all you need.

      They also offer complimentary dark chocolate to cleanse your palate and $20 cheese platters. Bring your friends and enjoy the tranquil setting and patio. The mountain setting will rejuvenate your soul.

      Don't forget to shop in their cute gift shop filled with novelty items.

      They close by 6 PM.

      And if you are hungry, there are some great restaurants in downtown Jasper.

      Amazing experience and felt very personable! I came here yesterday with some friends and even though the place was very busy we received great service. We got a Groupon and it was very well worth it for the value and we even got a couple of souvenir glasses. We got some generous tasting pours and picked up a couple of bottles of gewürztraminer, which was a dry white that had spicy undertones. Very cute experience and worth the drive!
