Tesnatee River Winery and Meadery
Tesnatee River Winery and Meadery offers both wine and mead in the North Georgia wine region. The combination of grape wines and mead gives private tour guests a different tasting experience and a reason to include a meadery stop on a Dahlonega-area itinerary.
A stop here adds variety when your day otherwise focuses on traditional wineries—you can taste both wine and mead in one place, which appeals to groups that want something a bit different. Pair Tesnatee River with traditional Dahlonega wineries like Tiger Mountain or Limoges so the route mixes grape wines with mead. We coordinate routing so your group can enjoy the tasting without rushing and so pacing fits your other stops.
