“Hidden away in the Southern Appalachians, straddling the border between Georgia and North Carolina, lies an undiscovered country of beautiful mountains, rushing alpine streams, serene lakes, and delicious, distinctive wines. One of the nation’s newest American Viticultural Areas (AVA), Upper Hiwassee Highlands encompasses 690 square miles of pristine mountain scenery. Nestled among the rivers and mountain coves are small family vineyards, each producing distinctive wines that reflect the unique mountain terroir.”
