Discover Little Vine Vineyards - Georgia's Premier Winery Experience
At Little Vine Vineyards, we are proud to revive a cherished tradition of fine winemaking in Western Georgia, a region that once thrived as a major viticultural hub in the 1890s. Our journey began in 2010 when we prepared the soil for planting, marking the first commercial wine grapes in West Central Georgia since 1907. With the first vines planted in March 2011, we have dedicated ourselves to cultivating Norton and LeNoir grapes, reestablishing a legacy that had been dormant for over a century. Our community-driven approach, supported by friends, neighbors, and local associations, reflects our commitment to quality and tradition. Each harvest, from our inaugural 9.5 tons in 2013 to 25 tons in 2015, symbolizes our passion for crafting exceptional wines.We celebrate every milestone with our customers, sharing the fruits of our labor through tastings, events, and a thriving wine club. Our vineyard stands as a testament to perseverance, honoring Villa Ricas rich history as the site of Americas first gold rush in 1826 while forging a new golden era in winemaking.

Found this place be chance after looking for wineries in the West GA area. Have been a couple of times and each time weve had fun. Live music, once outside during summer months and once indoor during colder time and each time was just a relaxing, comfortable time. Would highly recommend to anybody looking for something nice to do for a date night or an after brunch wine tasting. The selection is good so taste the full flight of wines to find your sweet spot.
