If I could give a lower rating for the planning experience, I would…read more The venue is undeniably beautiful--but unfortunately, that's where the positives end. Our wedding planning process was riddled with issues that made what should've been an exciting time incredibly frustrating. Midway through planning, our experienced coordinator was abruptly replaced with someone far less familiar with weddings. That led to several mistakes on the day, including my partner and I seeing each other before our scheduled first look. I had to repeatedly correct revised plans with inaccurate meal choices and start times that contradicted our contract. When I brought these issues up, I was met with defensiveness--not solutions. I was told I could use the bridal salon to change, but no one mentioned needing to lock the door. Someone walked in on me, which was deeply upsetting and avoidable. Even worse: our DJ and photographer had to step in to keep things running smoothly--roles they weren't hired for. I later learned other vendors have had tense experiences with this venue's management, which doesn't surprise me now. After posting my original review, the owner responded publicly--not to take accountability, but to deflect blame onto me and our vendors, even accusing others of making "disparaging remarks" out of "fear." Their inability to accept constructive feedback only confirmed what I experienced throughout the process: beautiful venue, but a deeply unprofessional and dismissive approach to communication. I would not recommend this venue to anyone. The setting is lovely, but that means very little when you're met with chaos, deflection, and poor leadership during one of the most important days of your life. P.S. To the owner, if you're considering replying with another dismissive or defensive comment: please don't. My experience is valid, and I'm sharing it so others can make an informed decision. Rather than trying to discredit customers or vendors, I hope future feedback is taken as an opportunity to improve--not deflect.

Check for yourself it's. Beautiful view of the valley and a great conversational piece with the house situated across the way. We are also entertained by live music of some country and rock. Over all a good day to wine!

Chardonnay they included was described perfectly- buttery and light. That was very tasty! The syrah and the merlot/cab blend my wife and I were not a fan of.

It on a hill so there isn't space for them to run around and have fun while parents can enjoy their drinks. We read that there are goats for kids to interact with but there was 1 goat and not a lot of activity. We were expecting a lot of space for our kids to explore and this was not it.

They also have a gift shop full of adorable merchandise: cups with the bear claw logo etched on (I got a wine cup lol! ) , cork bracelets (we got two), dog clothes, goat milk soap, t shirts etc. They have lots of seating options indoor tables as well as lots of tables with little fire pits outside and lots of games. On the weekends, they have live music. When we visited artist Russ Stills was there. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. He even came around the audience meeting and greeting with each table and taking requests. This is a fantastic spot to grab a drink and listen to good music and take in the beauty of the vineyard. 10 out of 10 for sure!

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. Looking forward to a return visit to try Trattoria downstairs!

Overall, Montaluce Winery is worth visiting for the beautiful views and the wine, but not for the…read morefood. The winery itself is stunning, and the wines are enjoyable and reasonably priced. Unfortunately, the food was a major disappointment. Everything felt overpriced, uninspired, and poorly executed. The salmon crostini appetizer was very ordinary and lacked any memorable flavor. The vegetable pasta was dry, undercooked, and felt unfinished, as if the dish was missing something. The pork chop was also dry and simply prepared. For a $40 entrée, I expected much more in terms of both quality and presentation. The only dish that was fairly decent was the seared chicken, but even that didn't justify the price. To make matters worse, by 4:00 PM they had already run out of the salmon entrée, which was extremely disappointing and not something you would expect from a restaurant at this price point. For the amount you'll spend here, you can dine at many excellent restaurants in Atlanta and have a far better culinary experience. If you're planning to visit Montaluce, come for the breathtaking scenery and the wine. Just don't come expecting the food to match the setting. Honestly, I left feeling like the money wasn't well spent, and I genuinely regret spending that much on the meal.

We came for the Sunday brunch buffet, which features a different theme each month and never disappoints. If brunch isn't your thing, you can enjoy a wine tasting in the tasting room located below the main dining area.
