Sharp Mountain Vineyards, operates on the simple but essential principle that to produce the finest wine, you must begin with the finest fruit. This quest for perfection requires personal attention to every detail-from employing tried and true "winegrowing" practices to personally harvesting the best grapes and handcrafting the wines.
Ron and Jan Rathgeb began their labor of love in earnest in 1995, planting Merlot, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc, Gewürztraminer, Viognier and Pinot Noir. In 2002, the Rathgebs added Primitivo, Trebbiano, and Pinot Gris to the breezy hillsides of their peaceful, 19 -acre Sharp Mountain estate. Come visit and see what's happening in 2007.
In fact, the Sharp Mountain Vineyards, Georgia Farm Winery, is just a 45-minute drive from Atlanta, making it the perfect venue for a day’s outing. Pack a picnic, enjoy a beautiful mountain drive and join us for a tour and tasting for just $5.
Bring your lunch and enjoy the comfort of our Pavillion, while drinking in the beautiful view – rows and rows of espaliered vines against a backdrop of blue-green rolling hills and a commanding view of Sharp Mountain herself. |
