Cavendar Creek Vineyards
|
|
Cavender Creek Vineyards and Winery, our small family farm vineyard, got its start- with the volunteeer help of family and friends- in 2007 with the planting of our two red grapes- Cabernet Sauvignon and Norton/Cynthiana- with first harvest in 2009. The third plot- Petit Manseng, a small white grape- was planted in 2008 and premiers its first vintage in the Spring of 2011. CCVW endeavors to produce hand-crafted wines that reflect the personal attention to detail and “pampering”- from planting to bottling– afforded by a small family vineyard.

Directions
From Atlanta: Take GA 400 north until it ends at Hwy 60 outside Dahlonega. Continue north straight across Hwy 60 onto Long Branch Road (GA 115) for about 5 miles until you come to a traffic light at Hwy 52. Continue straight across 52, still on Long Branch, which becomes Copper Mines Road at the Chestatee River. A couple of miles after you cross the river, the road will come to a dead end at a stop sign. Turn left onto Cavender Creek Road. Go 1.3 miles to our driveway on the left. Follow the drive through the gate and all the way back to the tasting room behind the log cabin.
In other words: get on GA 400 north and keep going straight until the road dead ends and you can’t go any more. Turn left, go 1.3 miles and there we are – on the left!! From Dahlonega: Go north on 19/60 (Morrison Moore Parkway) about a mile out of town, past the reservoir, until you come to Cavender Creek Road (“Cavender’s Corner” store). Turn Right. Go 3.5 miles east to our sign on the Right. Look for a four-board fence lining the driveway. Follow the drive through the gate and all the way back to the tasting room behind the log cabin.

Cabernet Sauvignon
This bold red starts with a fruit forward
burst of black cherries and finishes
delightfully dry; the perfect
accompaniment to steak or lamb.
|
Donkey Hotie Red
Named for one of our rescued miniature
donkeys, Donkey Hotie Red is an earthy,
complex wine presenting notes of black
cherry and pepper with subtle tannins.
|
Estate Norton
From its origins in Virginia to North
Georgia, this native grape has thrived
helping us create this fruit forward wine
with flavors of plum and black pepper.
|
Merlot
An 80/20 blend of Merlot and Cabernet
Franc gives this exceptional mid-dry
wine the subtle characteristics of a
Merlot with hints of green pepper.
|
Norton
This Georgia Norton is a light
bodied dry wine. Deep red in color and
mildly tannic, it is a perfect
dinner wine.
|
One-Eyed Jack
Just as pirates flourished off the coasts
of colonial Georgia and Virginia, so too
does the native Norton flourish inland.
One-Eyed Jack; taste a little history.
|
Petit Manseng
Our Petit Manseng is like Springtime
in a bottle; full of delicate floral
notes with a crisp clean finish that
lingers just long enough to make
you want another sip.
|
Reserve Norton
Made from one of America’s native
grapes, our Reserve Norton is an easy
drinking red wine with mild tannins.
A great choice for the picnic basket.
