Bear Claw Vineyards & Winery

Bear Claw Vineyards is a female-owned winery and working vineyard situated at 1,832 feet elevation in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia. Founded on the principle of pairing top-quality estate wine with a soothing, restorative setting, the property sits on rich alluvial plain soil selected after careful research to support quality viticulture — grapes grown on-site are produced and bottled into the vineyard's own wines. The relaxed, mountain atmosphere extends to the full property experience: guests are welcome to explore the vineyard, gather around fire pits, play cornhole and board games, and listen to complimentary live music offered every Friday through Sunday year-round. Food truck events are held regularly, and the vineyard is dog- and child-friendly throughout. For visitors looking to extend their stay, the Blue Ridge Treehouse — built by DIY Network's Treehouse Guys — is available for nightly rental on the property. VIP tasting tours offer a more intimate look at the winemaking process.
