The state’s winegrowers association is hosting a “Wine Highway Weekend” in Northeast Georgia next weekend, March 20-21.
There is a $20 fee to participate in the weekend. With the fee, participants will receive a souvenir wine glass, which will serve as an entry ticket into the wineries.
Georgia’s reputation as a wine-producing state has increased in recent years, officials say. In the last five years, the total number of acres of vineyards in Georgia has tripled. During that time, at least four wineries and seven vineyards have opened.
