Blue Ridge and the surrounding Fannin County countryside

Blue Ridge wine country

Blue Ridge is a good fit when wine is one part of a cabin escape. Give yourself time for downtown shops, the scenic railway or the outdoors, then spend an easy afternoon at a nearby winery.

Beyond the tasting room

Build your weekend around the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, downtown Blue Ridge or an outdoor morning. Reserve railway tickets separately and do not squeeze a long excursion between winery appointments.

Where to base your weekend

A downtown stay keeps dinner simple; a cabin trades walkability for space and scenery. Verify how long the trip from your cabin to town really takes, and ask about access if your group uses a van.

One thing to plan ahead

Some winery brands operate more than one tasting location. Check whether your reservation is for the vineyard, a downtown tasting room or a special event.
