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.

Indoors they had a small shop of local goods and products like soap and honey. All tastings come with a complimentary bread basket so of course we had to do the tasting. She poured one taste at a time, describing each wine or mead as we went along. Once we finished one, she would come back with another pour. Overall it was a boozy and tasty experience - will definitely be back for more!

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.

I had my crew up from Chattanooga in town, and we couldn't have picked a better spot to celebrate. We kicked things off at the main restaurant for brunch, and honestly, the vibes there never miss. I wanted to keep it a bit lighter since I knew we'd be exploring, so I went with a crisp glass of wine, some fresh focaccia, and the Thai Butternut Squash Soup. That soup was incredible. It was perfectly creamy with just the right kick. Everything hit the table so fast, and the service was on point. My friend even surprised me with a lemon drop cupcake, which was the sweetest touch to a chill afternoon on the patio. After we ate, we headed out for a tour and I was honestly shook by how massive this property is. I've been here before, but I had no idea the trails went back that far. The views are unreal and made for the perfect post-brunch stroll. By the time we finished the trail, we'd worked up a second appetite, so we finally hit up Trattoria di Montaluce. I usually skip it because the brunch normally leaves me stuffed, but I'm so glad we went for it this time. That wood-fired Margherita pizza was easily the best I've had in a minute. There's just something about that wood-fired crust that hits differently! This has seriously been the best birthday month ever, and everyone coming into town to celebrate has made it so special. Of course, I couldn't leave without hitting the gift shop for that coconut scrub. If you know, you know. This stuff makes your hands feel like velvet. It's a total staple. I'm already planning my next trip back to see more of the grounds.
