Cartecay Vineyards

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I enjoy smaller, cozy wineries. I remember riding by a few times thinking what are those ppl just hanging out by a fireplace in the middle of nowhere until I realized it was a winery. I enjoyed several of their wines and they are a little more easy on your wallet.

So glad we stopped at this vineyard! It was so fun, local, cozy and the staff was so personable! There is a small barn to do the tasting with also an upstairs seating area. If you want to talk with the staff, you can do the tasting standing up at the bar area otherwise you can get tokens. You can drink a glass, wander around then turn in a token to get another. We all did flights of wine tastings and stayed at the bar. Super fun time and the pours were generous. It wasn't busy at all and they had live music upstairs. My favorites were the whites, as those are the grapes they grow on the property. The Vidal Blanc was delicious, wasn't too sweet or dry. I ended up buying a bottle and a Merlot off their library selection. Would definitely be back!

Absolutely loved stopping at this cozy and quaint winery for some delicious wine! We had the Bee Lover and Sassy and both were rich in flavor and unique! Terra was the best and truly made the whole experience. Not to mention, also dog friendly!! My girl Pippa had a great time exploring and meeting her new friends Rosie and Molly!

Adorable, boutique winery . Our hostess Tara, picked out the perfect pairing, a great way to end our vacation at Telona Ridge in Ellijay, Georgia. Looking forward to our return

Cartecay vineyards is a great spot! Came here with my parents last weekend and we spent a few hours walking around, tasting wine, and adding firewood to the giant stone fireplace outside by the vineyards… Highly recommend this beautiful place.

We always visit Cartecay Vineyards every time we are in the area with family and friends. We love the wine and they also have other choices like beer and ciders. Last time we enjoyed sitting outside by the chimney, Terra was very nice and helped us start the fire. We really appreciate it and I also enjoyed our conversation. Terra, I hope to see you next time and wish you a Merry Christmas with your family in Tennessee. Cartecay Vineyards is definitely one of our favorites! Keep up the good work, you guys Rock!

A Beautiful yet rustic place with a warm welcoming atmosphere with a wide section, from sweets to dry and floral notes. “Personal favorite” Chimney Red, Beaujolais style slightly off dry yet medium bodied. Delicious to the last drop. The smiles my group and I received from Terra “the dispenser of the most delicious wines” was the warmth needed to end the day! Will return

Cartecay was a cozy place to stop on a Monday afternoon for some wine. They were not terribly busy but did have a few visitors. Terra was very nice with explaining the wine. They have a lot of things to entertain kids. The area is much larger than it seems and they have things like hammocks outside. It was a very relaxed setting.
