2026 Annual Georgia Wine Highway
The 2026 annual Georgia Wine Highway should be held from March 1 – May 31, 2026. Typically between $50 and $100 you can receive your passport and visit some of the finest wineries in the state. You normally will receive free wine tastings at each of the participating wineries or a choice of other discounted items. Each year the perks change slightly, so you have to wait for the annual announcement to know exactly what the 2026 wine highway will entail. You can see the 2025 participating wineries/vineyards.
While the fall colors are at peak in some areas and coming to peak very soon in others, as I post this, you need to get out and explore the fall colors and the beautiful winery/vineyards of Georgia!!
Be sure to check out and make your travel plans for the amazing annual Georgia Wine Highway in Spring of 2026 too.
Visit these amazing wineries in the state of Georgia. From North Georgia to South Georgia, there are plenty of options for tastings and tours. Check out a few (or all) of these fantastic wineries and vineyards next time you’re looking for a day trip or a weekend getaway. And remember, always drink responsibly. What are your favorite wineries in Georgia?
NOTE: If you represent a winery, vineyard, or meadery that I may have missed, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d be happy to include your establishment in this post. I’ve done my best to make this list as comprehensive as possible, though it’s always possible a few hidden gems slipped through — after all, I haven’t found a truly all-inclusive list of Georgia wineries anywhere else!
Also, before you go, always confirm hours, tastings, and event details directly with the winery, as operations can change over time. Everything here is as of time I published the blog post; I will do my best to update it, but this is just a good starting point to get you on your merry way to traveling the glorious wine trail of Georgia!
