My husband and I stumbled on to Accent Cellars while vacationing in Helen, Georgia. Tyler was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He answered all of our questions and we spent two and a half hours chatting about wine and music during a rainy afternoon. I would highly recommend this lovely winery. Tyler and the winery were delightful. Thanks, Tyler!

Our tour guide Jason was fantastic - passionate about gold mining, energetic and knowledgeable. It was so cool to go inside the mountain and envision what it must have been like to be a miner without electricity. We even found a frog in the mine and 6 gold flakes when panning for gold. One of the better excursions we’ve done. Our son is 12 and we all really enjoyed it!

They found out it was our 5th anniversary and our server, Alana, and the manager were sure to bring us out a complimentary cheesecake platter with chocolate strawberries. We got to sit on the enclosed patio and look out at the beauty of the NW GA mountains.

Cavender Creek is an amazing experience not just their wine, but also the grounds and the staff! We drove up from ATL to spend an afternoon on a Saturday and it was packed with visitors as well as a wedding so you may want to try a weekday if possible. The place is huge as it is an actual working farm complete with vineyards, donkeys and alpacas. There are several buildings as well as a huge outdoor field where people brought blankets to sit too. We managed to find a few stools on the patio and ordered a couple of tasting flights. Even through they were so busy the gentlemen did a great job finding us and walking us through several of their wines. I especially liked the Viognier and the Donkey Hotie (great name) and would recommend trying them. The patio was lively and there was some live music too which added to the atmosphere. They do serve some food as well, but if you just want a snack they also make amazing popcorn! Of all the wineries in the area this is one of my favorites and the staff does a great job – well worth the trip, we’ll be back.
