We went on a Cana Wine Tour today and had a great time. Our driver Dana, was the best. Traffic was bad so she was a little late but once we were on the road, It was amazing. The first stop was Waldmet Cellars. From the outside, it wasn't what we expected but once inside, it was very nice. The owners were very nice and gave us a good over view of their business. I didn't there was a such thing as wine made from Honey. It was very good. Needless to say, A couple of bottles came home with me. The next stop was Grapes and Ladders Winery. This was, by far, the best stop. It was very picturesque and the staff was amazing. I was a little worried about our lunches since they were picked up by our driver, but the food was excellent. This Winery had frozen wine slushies that were delicious. We really didn't want to leave.
Alas, we arrived at the last winery, Cartecay Vineyards in Ellijay. We weren't greeted very warmly. There were few smiles and the atmosphere was a little hostile. As if they were saying "what are THEY doing here?" That is one winery I won't go out of my way to visit again. I think they should either be taken of the tour route or make sure you have the people they welcome when you go. That was a sour note to end on but I will go on this tour again. We went on Sunday so we went to three wineries. That was enough. The pours, in general, were generous and the ride from one to the other gave you time to chill and drink water. I could say a lot more but I'll end here. Just suffice it to say, we had a great time.
