There is a nice outdoor area if you need to stretch your legs and take in the fresh mountain air. As I went to have a taste of their delicious mead, Blair struck up a conversation with me, and we talked about the area, it's history, and this business he has made from his own humble beginnings. We talked about the bees, we talked about area happenings , and he was a wonderful host. I highly recommend that you not miss this place when heading through Dahlonega.

Upon walking and I noticed the place was very spacious there were all kinds of games corn hole, boardgames, and foosball. Being that it was a little empty we sat at the bar and talked directly with the owners who explained the process to us the different types of ciders they offered. They also asked about our pallets as far as if we like the taste of beer or apples and fruit more. Which by the way they have both. Let's just say I had two flights and a bag of Cheetos and my total was around $28. Clearly they're not overpriced nonsense like other "well-known" cider places... People do yourself a favor and make the trip out to Marietta. this place is great. They're very friendly individuals who support and speak highly of other cider brewers.

Let me just go ahead and add this to my list of winery/breweries I frequent in the metro!…read more I heard of this place via Stout Brothers in Smyrna as they had one of their ciders (Forest Moon) on tap. Eagerly wanting more than the growler I purchased, I looked up to figure out where they were located. To my surprise, Marietta! First things first, this gem is located in the back of a business complex. Honestly I almost missed it when I drove through because it was tucked so far back. Walked inside to see that it was empty. However I did fail to read that it is only patio service at this time. My boyfriend and I quickly found a table and was greeted by Cassie. She gave us a little bit of time to check out the menu and then proceeded with our flights. Everything they have on tap is EXCELLENT! From a spicy-palate ruining cider, to a lovely Christmas-esque cider brewed with mulling spices. Had to purchase a 6 pack of that because it screams Christmas time. And I couldn't leave without the Forest Moon either! Such a lovely blend of basil and cider. Not too sweet, not too tart. Only reason for 4 stars is lack of seating. There were about 8 tables on the patio, 3 of which are high tops. If we would've arrived any later, there wouldn't have been any seating.

The owner's love for the local area is evident, and he has skillfully utilized the flavor of carefully cultivated honey.

When we were leaving the meadery, Yukon appeared out of nowhere and bid us farewell. According to employee Denise, Yukon enjoys greeting customers and is an outstanding team member. Very well-behaved!

Had a fabulous dinner with girls. It was their first time experiencing the wineries of Dahlonega and Monteluce was our 3rd stop. So glad I decided to make a reservation to assure that we would have a table for sunset. The hostesses were very accommodating and kind. The sunset was absolutely stunning and the patio was very relaxing. Our meal was good but not great. Pretty pricey for the quality of food. Everything we ordered was tasty but nothing tasted amazing. For apps we had Focaccia Bread and Salads. Entrees: Salmon, Ribeye, and Pork Belly Tacos. Some of us split a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and that was very yummy.
