Tiger Mountain Vineyards

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

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.

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.

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.

What an amazing discovery today! Traveling through small towns and found Tiger Mountain vineyard. This place has it all- savory wine, cool ambience and very tasty menu.
Staff is super friendly and chef made some extra special recommendations that were divine. They have live music in the weekend too. Will definitely travel back here for that! Chandler even came out and asked how we enjoyed our meal! So informative and super friendly!

Enjoyable experience while sipping some July 4th weekend spirits. Grab a cold glass of wine and enjoy some music in outside with you pup. We enjoy the Viognier and the Rose on a hot day.

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.

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.

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!

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.
